How Teaching Happens: Seminal Works in Teaching and Teacher Effectiveness and What They Mean in Practice

Kirschner, Hendrick, and Heal (all three noted experts in the field) manage to synthesize the most impactful research about teaching in such a way that every teacher can become more effective by applying it. Their conversational style and relatable examples help to make the content easy-to-digest and approachable by even the novice reader. This book should be a core resource in educator prep programs -- a truly valuable contribution to the field.

As an instructional leader and coach, I have this book right alongside "How Learning Happens." I use the book as I plan professional development and coaching. It's always right beside my desk and computer as I read it quite often to refresh to focus on my work with coaching and leading teachers.

I found this book to be especially relevant to school leaders and instructional coaches. It takes all of the seminal papers in effective teaching, summarizes them and then provides practical implications for each. Highly recommended to all school leaders.

Fabulous! Useful summary about what the research has to say about pedagogy.Really interesting with things you can do the next day in your classroom!

A great follow-up to How Learning Happens, How Teaching Happens is basically an anthology of studies and publications on teaching, arranged and written in a way that makes the key themes and findings accessible. Reading HTH will help you to understand what great teaching really is. Links to the original papers and many other great resources are provided if you want to 'dig even deeper', but this is comprehensive enough on its own. The best book on teaching and education I have seen in 2022.

Having enjoyed the innovative format of How Learning Happens, this wonderful collection of commentary, analysis and insightful discussion, draws upon 30 seminal papers that ensure new and old scholars can be taken to the heart of understanding our field and ourselves as educators.Brilliant scholarship!
