Bøker av Eddie Paden

How does a teacher impact their students in a way that will help change their lives for the better has been a question teachers have been trying to answer since the beginning of the teaching profession. Are test scores an indication of learning taking place in the classroom is another question that has been asked for many years now since the onset of national testing in reading and mathematics. Is there an intersection between the answers of the two questions or are the answer to both questions independent of each other? Author Eddie Paden has been teaching English at the high school and middle school levels for 28 years and believes that there is an intersection between the answers. For the past 15 years he has been developing his own process of teaching reading and writing which has translated into very high-test scores in the state of Kentucky and presents the process he has undertaken to accomplish the high-test scores and the high level of learning that takes place in his classes and presents the process in an easy to understand way. The process is one as well that can be adopted into any content area and in his book he demonstrates different ways some of the teachers he knows have adopted the process into math and science classes as well.
