Bloomington, Ind. (May 1, 2019)—In The New Art and Science of Teaching Mathematics, authors Nathan D. Lang-Raad and Robert J. Marzano re-envision the groundbreaking New Art and Science of Teaching framework for mathematics classrooms.

Readers will discover myriad strategies and tools for articulating learning goals, conducting lessons, tracking student progress and more.

“The New Art and Science of Teaching Mathematics offers a comprehensive framework that can help mathematics teachers develop their expertise and, in turn, increase their students’ learning,” explain the authors. “We address the three overarching categories—feedback, content and context—with their corresponding ten teacher actions and the embedded elements.”

Authored by two highly respected leaders in modern education, this resource features classroom-ready strategies and tools to use at every step of the teaching and learning process, from conducting math lessons to engaging students and celebrating successes. Educators can benefit from this teaching resource as they implement research-based best practices in teaching mathematics:

• Explore how The New Art and Science of Teaching framework can help educators optimize their methods of teaching mathematics.
• Develop an understanding of which of the 43 elements of instruction are most effective in the mathematics classroom and in which types of lessons they should be used.
• Use each chapter’s Guiding Questions for Curriculum Design to support planning and aid in reflection as a mathematics teacher.

Author and educational consultant Kim Bailey says, “An engaging and illuminating resource, The New Art and Science of Teaching Mathematics provides many mathematics-specific strategies and examples of Marzano’s instructional framework in action in the mathematics classroom. This tool will undoubtedly assist teachers of mathematics as they hone their craft.”
