Planning for Teaching Success offers an impressively comprehensive collection of practical strategies for curriculum planning, formative and summative assessment, and teaching. The students of teachers who implement even a fraction of these recommended strategies will benefit from more engaged and enduring learning. -- Jay McTighe, author and co-creator of Understanding by Design® As I read Planning for Teaching Success,I thought of my fathers workshop where he passed along to me a lifetime of wisdom about how to do certain things and the importance of doing them well. In this latest installment in the Building Your Teaching Toolbox series, exemplary teachers offer their best tools, and guidance in how to use them, to solve the problems teachers grapple with daily. We often speak of the importance of thinking outside the box, but the beauty and brilliance of this book is that Davis and Connolly help teachers think inside the box of their own classroom and constraints of time that challenge all teachers who want to teach for success, their students and their own. -- Jim Burke, author of Teaching Better Day by Day and The English Teacher's Companion Planning for Teaching Success is an invaluable resource for educators at all levels, offering a wealth of actionable insights and strategies. The book seamlessly blends theory with real-world application, equipping educators with the tools to be successful and increase learning outcomes. Each chapter is packed with practical tips and evidence-based strategies that are both easy to implement and highly effective. This is a read you will not regret! -- Dr. Ricki Gibbs II, Head of Schools Middle & Elementary, LEAD Public Schools, Nashville, TN; 2020 Elementary School Principal of the Year, Metro Nashville Public Schools; featured in Peabody award-winning podcast, The Promise: Season 2
