I'd like to recommend a book. I was able to buy it on Amazon. The title of the book is "Classroom Instruction That Works: Research Based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement". The author is Robert J. Marzano, et al.

I did a study of it last summer. The research presented in it is easy to understand. The book focuses on 8 instructional strategies that good classroom teachers use. You'll recognize things that you already do in your classroom (You're a good teacher! You're on T-net, aren't you??).

Teaching Kindergarten, I'm not able to teach my kids how to create outlines and how to take notes, BUT I DO use graphs, Venn diagrams, and compare/contrast strategies!

The strategies that are discussed are strategies that target higher level thinking skills. They are designed to help kids THINK.

It was an easy read, with a lot of good research and information. Not too expensive either.
