Finding the Right Tools with Towanda Harris

These days, it feels like information overload. So how do we find the right tools for our students' needs?

In her new book, The Right Tools: A Guide to Selecting, Evaluating, and Implementing Classroom Resources and Practices, author Towanda Harris lays out a path that teachers and administrators can use to make informed decisions abut what resources and practices they need for the students they teach. Towanda covers how to best assess students, balancing standards, and how to evaluate research-based materials. 

We started our conversation on how to recognize the value of a good tool.
