First published in 2001, Classroom Instruction That Works revolutionised teaching by linking classroom strategies to evidence of increased student learning. Now this landmark guide has been reenergised and reorganised for today's classroom with new evidence-based insights and a refined framework that strengthens instructional planning.

As the authors point out in the book's Forward: "The strategies featured in this book were identified through a meta-analysis of instruction conducted by McREL (Marzano, 1998) and presented in the first edition of Classroom Instruction That Works . . . . This edition builds on that research and incorporates findings from a study that clarifies the concepts related to each of the nine categories identified in the first edition (Beesley & Apthorp, 2010), and it uses an analysis of the literature published since the first edition to provide an updated estimate of each strategy's effect on student achievement."
