Aschoff, and Ashley Avila introduce a model of instruction for secondary teachers facilitating student learning, supporting individual growth, and fostering community in CBE systems. Based on decades of research, as well as practical experience in Marzano Academies schools, this book offers a detailed breakdown of the Marzano Academies instructional model, including its four primary domains, ten design areas, and forty-nine elements of effective teaching. Secondary teachers seeking to adopt or adapt the tenets of CBE can rely on this definitive guide"--
