Connecting with students on a personal level is a very important aspect of teaching, but how can we ensure students are just as connected to what they’re learning? Is Your Lesson for You or Your Students? answers this question by providing a student-centered, culturally responsive, and curriculum-aligned framework that teachers can easily implement into their classrooms.

Author Jahkari "JT" Taylor, a seasoned educational leader and instructional coach, walks readers through his I.C.E.D. T.E.A. acronym to enrich the instructional capacity of K–12 educators. Each chapter contains professional insight, researched-based approaches, reflection questions, and practical strategies for leveraging knowledge of students to inspire learning in the academic setting. Downloadable resources, such as the I.C.E.D. T.E.A. Framework, the Checklist for Aligning Curriculum, and the PACE Framework, are also provided to cultivate reflective practitioners and help teachers prioritize their students and methodology.

Whether you’re a veteran educator or just starting your teaching career, you’ll come away with a plethora of strategies for creating student-centered lessons, maximizing student achievement, and creating enjoyable learning experiences for all students.
