Overview

Bring Robyn R. Jackson, the author of ASCD’s wildly popular book Never Work Harder Than Your Students, to your school with this DVD. In her uniquely engaging and thought-provoking way, Robyn explains how any teacher can develop the qualities and mindset of a great teacher. Video scenes from real classrooms take you through each of the seven principles described in her book. Show how teachers in all grade levels can apply these practices in their classrooms and bring them all together to ensure that students take more responsibility for their learning. As Robyn describes how her core teaching approach makes instructional decisions more automatic and effortless, she offers numerous tips that can help teachers in every subject, including

• The key to knowing where your students are.
  
• Making learning goals concrete.
  
• Supporting students before they falter.
  
• The importance of feedback.
