One of the most common refrains in teaching is: there’s never enough time. Many teachers struggle to find the time to help students learn all the required content and skills for their area. The field of education has more research than ever before, yet teachers do not have the time to filter through that research to determine which strategies have the greatest impact. As a result, they often end up with an abundance of techniques but are unclear about why those techniques are effective or when to use them.
In Intentional Instructional Moves and its accompanying Companion Guide, St. Clair has sifted through the research to uncover the most impactful classroom strategies. Each chapter delves into the research behind the strategies, as well as their potential to elevate student learning and save teachers time. Drawing from decades of instructional coaching and classroom experience, St. Clair breaks the work into intentional steps so teachers can move efficiently from theory to practice. Moreover, each step features a range of high-impact, time-saving techniques teachers can

implement right away. St. Clair explores why these tools are so effective and offers best-practices for applying them. As educators move through the intentional steps, they can refer to the complementary virtual Companion Guide for a curated list of intentional techniques to implement each high-impact strategy as well as corresponding handouts. With the support of these practical steps and effective strategies, teachers can enhance their instruction to accelerate student learning.
