Books by Michael D. Toth

In many classrooms, the teacher's role is to talk and the student's role is to listen. Michael Toth and David Sousa present an alternative: a pedagogical model called student-led academic teaming. In academic teams, students collaborate, peer coach, and peer teach while engaging in rigorous, standards-based tasks.

As a supplement to the Essentials for Achieving Rigor series, this guide gives teachers a big-picture view of the Essentials model and its research-based strategies. Its valuable tips and guidance empower educators and leaders to increase classroom rigor and transform their schools into thriving, sustainable communities of practice.
