How to Get All Teachers to Become Like the Best Teachers

Every school has teachers who consistently engage students and deliver high quality instruction. Every school also has teachers with varying ranges of ability. If all teachers could be like the best teachers, we would have significant improvement in every school. In this book, Todd Whitaker demonstrates how this can really be achieved.

There are dramatic differences in the quality of teachers in every school. Every building has teachers who consistently engage students and deliver high-quality instruction. Every building also has teachers with varying ranges of ability. If all teachers could be more like the best teachers, then we would have significant improvement in every school.

In this important book, Todd Whitaker demonstrates how this can really be achieved. With inspiration, humor, and practical advice, Whitaker shares the qualities of the best teachers and how we can teach these qualities to others. He shows how the best teachers emphasize the learning relationship; focus only on what they can influence; and use effective classroom management involving filtering, proximity, redirection, and business mode. He then explains how we can coach other teachers by showing, not telling; by creating subcultures and learning experiences; and by leading the way. Finally, Whitaker describes the importance of hiring highly talented people who form new lines rather than fall in line. He provides strategies for asking the right interview questions, for choosing the right mentors, and for selecting the best hosts for student teachers.

No matter how education changes, there are always outstanding teachers making a difference. We can grow our schools by helping even more teachers become exceptional.
