Building on their bestselling book How Learning Happens, Paul A. Kirschner and Carl Hendrick are joined by Jim Heal to explore how teaching happens. The book seeks to closely examine what makes for effective teaching in the classroom and how research on expert teaching can be used in practice.
Introducing 30 seminal works from the field of education psychology research, the learning sciences, and teaching effectiveness studies, each chapter takes an important work and illustrates clearly and concisely what the research means and how it can be used in daily practice. Divided into six sections the book covers:
• Teacher Effectiveness, Development, and Growth
• Curriculum Development / Instructional Design
• Teaching Techniques
• Pedagogical Content Knowledge
• In the Classroom
• Assessment
The book ends with a final chapter on “What’s Missing?” in how teachers learn to teach.
Written by three leading experts in the field with illustrations by Oliver Cavigioli, How Teaching Happens provides a clear roadmap for classroom teachers, school leaders, and teacher trainers/trainees on what effective teaching looks like in practice.

Must-read for educators seeking to grow
Kirschner, Hendrick, and Heal (all three noted experts in the field) manage to synthesize the most impactful research about teaching in such a way that every teacher can become more effective by applying it. Their conversational style and relatable examples help to make the content easy-to-digest and approachable by even the novice reader. This book should be a core resource in educator prep programs — a truly valuable contribution to the field.

Essential for Instructional Coaches, Leaders, and Teachers
As an instructional leader and coach, I have this book right alongside “How Learning Happens.” I use the book as I plan professional development and coaching. It’s always right beside my desk and computer as I read it quite often to refresh to focus on my work with coaching and leading teachers.

Great book for school leaders
I found this book to be especially relevant to school leaders and instructional coaches. It takes all of the seminal papers in effective teaching, summarizes them and then provides practical implications for each. Highly recommended to all school leaders.
