"Great Teaching offers a compass for teachers seeking direction, reorientation, and renewal. DiGiulio strips away the distractions and has put together an exceedingly readable, valuable, and affirming guide for preservice and classroom teachers to reflect upon their practice."
Alan Canestrari, Assistant Professor of Education
Roger Williams University

Discover what makes you a great teacher--and what makes teaching great!

Did you know that you are a great teacher? Amid the parents and the paperwork, the assessments and accountability, the evaluations and the e-mail, many teachers can't find time to reflect on, much less assess, their own teaching. This concise guide brings teaching back to its fundamental roots, proving that how you teach is just as important as what you teach.

Great Teaching focuses on the core skills and qualities of great teachers--like caring, enthusiasm, clarity, and questioning--and then shows teachers how to find those skills and qualities within themselves. Drawing on his 33 years of experience, DiGiulio has developed specific techniques for:

Assessing yourself and identifying your strengths
Distilling your workload to the essentials and fundamentals
Learning from your colleagues and planning cooperatively
Using an 8-step framework to redefine your view of teaching

Get back to basics, realize that less is more, and flourish as you develop the skills and qualities that make you the great teacher that you are!

Industry Reviews

Someone who acknowledges the vital skills that good teachers possess. We need this type of acknowledgment more often. -- Diane Wolfe, Special Education Teacher Trainer Bravo! This is a true educator's handbook. This book finally puts in print what is a quality teacher, providing quality education. This should be the Bible for every educator's library! -- Pricilla Fisk, Interim Acting Assistant Principal Amid the 'high-stakes' climate of public education today, DiGiulio's gem of a book reminds us of far more important outcomes than politicized test scores. Plain and simple, the book resonates with common sense. -- Gregg Humphrey, Director of Elementary Education
