Introduction : becoming a FIT teacher -- Planning with purpose -- Cultivating a learning climate -- Instructing with intention -- Assessing with a system -- Impacting student learning -- Conclusion : taking up the challenge -- Acknowledgments -- Appendix : The FIT teaching growth and leadership tool.

This book introductions the powerful FIT Teaching Tool, which harnesses the FIT Teaching approach and presents a detailed continuum of growth and leadership. It's a close-up look at what intentional and targeting teaching is and what successful teachers do to: plan with purpose, cultivate a learning climate, instruct with intention, assess with a system, impact student learning. Designed to foster discussion among educators about what they are doing in the classroom, the FIT Teaching Tool can be used by teachers for self-assessment; by peers for collegial feedback in professional learning communities; by instructional coaches to focus on the skills teachers need both onstage and off; and by school leaders to highlight their teachers' strengths and value. Join authors Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and Stefani Arzonetti Hite for an examination of what makes great teachers great, and see how educators at all grade levels and all levels of experience are taking intentional steps toward enhanced professional practice.
