Art and Science of Teaching : A Comprehensive Framework for Effective Instruction
In The Art and Science of Teaching: A Comprehensive Framework for Effective Instruction, author Robert J.

He articulates his framework in the form of 10 questions that represent a logical planning sequence for successful instructional design. For classroom lessons to be truly effective, educators must examine every component of the teaching process with equal resolve. Filled with charts, rubrics, and organizers, this methodical, user-friendly guide will help teachers examine and develop their knowledge and skills, so they can achieve that dynamic fusion of art and science that results in exceptional teaching and outstanding student achievement.
