Stephanie Hirsh, Executive Director Jim Knight is one of my favorite educational authors. His ability to organize research and theory into comprehensible, action-oriented recommendations is unmatched in K-12 education, and he's done it again with Focus on Teaching: Using Video for High Impact Teaching.
