Instructional Planning for Effective Teaching by James H. Stronge and Xianxuan Xu presents educators with strategic tools and methods for thoughtful, effective instructional planning. The authors offer powerful strategies for building the foundation for successful organizational action and charting improvement in the teaching process. Taking a practical approach to instructional planning, Stronge and Xu outline research-based planning tools and illustrate how K12 teachers, leaders, and administrators can use these tools in everyday practice. Teachers and school leaders must have the right planning structures in place if they are to deliver instruction effectively to all students on a continual basis.
