The fourth edition of English Teacher's Companion is 100 percent new. Jim Burke has rewritten it to model methods for reaching a new generation of students-when all the ground rules for teaching are changing.

A teacher's teacher and a recognized leader in English/language arts education, Jim understands the need for instructional methods that connect the why of teaching to the how. "This edition makes the research behind my practice more explicit," he writes. "It is also anchored in the Common Core State Standards, because I am still teaching every day-so these standards are my standards too."

Weaving in ideas for working with ELLs, struggling readers, and technology, English Teacher's Companion, Fourth Edition:

- looks comprehensively at the research and reality of our profession, our students, and our content

- provides practical and thoughtful methods for meeting standards in reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language study

- makes assessment a priority, not only to find out what students know but to help practitioners improve.
