Drawing from the latest research on the efficacy of these teaching methods, this resource presents:
- Detailed explanations for teaching each SOAR strategy
- Guidelines for fostering student motivation and behavior self-management

With insightful examples and illustrations, Teaching How to Learn will be used again and again by teachers looking to transform themselves into A+ educators and their students into lifelong learners.
