AN IDEAL MODEL FOR DIFFERENTIATING TEACHING FOR INCLUSIVE INSTRUCTION IN ANY CLASSROOM.

Five Standards for Effective Teaching offers teachers of grades K–8 a system to support effective teaching, especially teaching through dialogue. Focusing on five essential pedagogy standards, the book describes teachers' implementations, 'best practice' strategies, and scores of classroom activities. From research conducted by the Center for Research on Education, Diversity, and Excellence (CREDE), the five standards emphasize fundamentals underlaying effective teaching that lead to learning. They are:

• Teacher and students producing together
• Developing language and literacy
• Connecting learning to students' worlds
• Teaching complex thinking for academic competence
• Teaching every student through Instructional Conversation
