"When author Nathaniel Hansford's students were struggling, he sought answers in educational meta-analyses. What he discovered surprised him: there is a significant divide between what is traditionally promoted in K-12 education and what is supported by scientific research. Many popular educational claims and instructional methods lack significant support in evidence. In his book The Scientific Principles of Teaching: Bridging the Divide Between Educational Practice and Research, Hansford gives teachers the tools they need to sort the facts about teaching methods from the fads. Through this book's user-friendly research framework, teachers will understand the complexities that influence high-quality teaching and learn how to identify evidence-based best practices across subject areas and grade levels. This easy-to-read guide equips readers to critically evaluate teaching materials for themselves and enhance their own self-efficacy and agency"-- Provided by publisher.
