Tools for Today’s Educators

Why Tools?

At Silver Strong & Associates and Thoughtful Education Press, our goal has always been to help teachers bring the best practices into their classrooms. This goal is founded on a recognition that too often goes unstated: teaching is hard work. That’s why we’ve spent the past forty years working with educators to turn the best educational research into practical techniques that are easy to implement in the classroom. We call these techniques tools because they’re designed to make the hard work of teaching easier and more effective.

The use of these proven, teacher-friendly tools will unquestionably engage learners while enhancing the quality of classroom assessment practices.
