Books by John T. Almarode

How can teachers generate those lightbulb "aha" moments of understanding for their students? This book helps to answer that question by showing Visible Learning strategies in action in high-impact mathematics classrooms.

This book guides teachers to the right instructional approach to use at each learning phase so all students demonstrate more than a year's worth of science learning per school year.

From Snorkelers to Scuba Divers in the Elementary Science Classroom: Strategies and Lessons That Move Students Toward Deeper LearningBy John Almarode and Ann M. Miller.Inspire a deep and lasting love of science in young studentsWith so much attention paid to student performance in science, it is imperative for teacher to foster prolonged interest and deep conceptual understanding from an early age. From Snorkelers to Scuba Divers combines the latest findings in the science of learning with student and teacher-tested techniques to provide the framework for encouraging young learners to shed their snorkels and plunge into the world of science. Readers will find: Evidence-based, research-driven strategies that encourage both deep thinking and conceptual understanding Classroom examples that demonstrate each aspect of the standards-based instructional framework in action Professional development tasks that provide teachers with support in implementing strategies for students at all levels, from surface to deep

John Almarode and Ann Miller provide numerous strategies and a model for developing engaging science and math lessons and units that captivate students, activate prior knowledge, and invigorate student interest by making lessons rigorous and relevant.
