"I can honestly say, THIS is the book every teacher (and Specialist) is looking for! The most frequently asked questions around Guided Math are about the details of how to effectively implement or tweak small group instruction in the classroom. Dr. Nicki Newton's Guided Math in Action, 2nd Edition goes into the messy details of those complicated answers and provides very real and practical examples. This 2nd Edition not only models how flexible Guided Math can look when implemented; it also shows how "out of the box" we must be willing to think in order to meet the various needs of our students. It has everything from literal examples of how to open with different hooks (ie: number talks) to explicit charts modeling how to differentiate using DOK leveled stems. This book is a game changer because while modeling ways to build students' math proficiency, it simultaneously builds the educator's proficiency with very real ways to transform our classrooms into incredible learning environments."--Kimberly O'Neal, Lead Math Interventionist, Klein ISD, Texas
