Editorial Reviews

Dr. Mario Barbiere is a leading expert on instructional strategies in education. As a principal of a low-performing school Doc assisted with data driven strategies that teachers were able to extrapolate and use in the classroom. Bottom line - the low-performing school is now on it's way to becoming an achieving school and after two years of using Doc’s strategies and pearls of wisdom I now a superintendent. Use the book and more importantly use the strategies.
