"I like the fact that all key concepts in education are covered in one book. Usually, you have to buy and read a long book for each concept. Teachers will appreciate that each section of the book will help them in their daily work. I will be able to use this book for weekly meetings, as part of ongoing professional development in my district."--Betsy Fannin, Curriculum Supervisor, Lawrence County Educational Service Center, Lawrence County, Ohio"The book summarises some very good ideas about teaching and learning into one book that is easy to read. Teachers, of today, especially during training are now being exposed to lot of other teaching methods and they will find a book like this which condenses many popular strategies into one book very helpful. There are lots of appealing features and effective strategies that are easily transferrable into the classroom."--Kate Sida-Nicholls, Course Leader of Teacher Training Program in Suffolk and Norfolk, England "Classroom Instruction from A to Z, part of Blackburn's A to Z Series, contains a plethora of strategies that are easily accessible, and it proves to be a handy quick-reference tool for the classroom teacher’s bookshelf, especially for new teachers."-- Laura Von Staden, MiddleWeb.com
