This particular “Best” list is a newer one.
I have regularly published The Best Articles (And Blog Posts) Offering Practical Advice & Resources To Teachers lists, and will continue to do so.
However, last year I began publishing a regular Classroom Instruction Resources Of The Week post. I thought, because of that new feature, it made sense to just publish a list highlighting the best from that series, in addition to the regular “Practical Advice” one. That latter list will include many other resources.
The Best Resources On Class Instruction – 2015 was the first edition of this new series.
I’ll be adding this post to All Mid-Year 2016 “Best” Lists In One Place.
Here are my choices for The Best Resources On Class Instruction In 2016 – So Far:
