Whats the best way to use the summaries?
There are many ways to use a summary. If you like it, certainly buy the book to read more! If the ideas speak directly to your school’s current needs, you can design a professional development session for teachers using the implementation suggestions on the last page. You can buy a set of the books and conduct a book study group with teachers or leaders, too. Or, you can use the ideas more individually by sharing the concepts with teachers directly after observing them or in other one-on-one conversations. If the book seems useful, but the topic does not apply to your current situation, simply file the summary away. Each summary has a tab that names the category it covers (assessment, differentiation, etc.) to make it easy to file and then access the summary when you need it.
