Effective teaching methods need to be supported by psychology solidly based in cognitive concepts. The theory to guide instruction is cognitive psychology. The concepts in this book lead the teacher to develop a theory of instruction as opposed to operating on intuition. The theory based on psychological concepts allows the teacher develop applications which fit their style. Evidenced based concepts are presented in this book oriented to what teachers do to plan and deliver instruction. To support those ideas the book provides a strong application of intrinsic motivation.

School Effectiveness and School Improvement
School effectiveness and school improvement have different origins: School effectiveness is more directed to finding out "what works" in education and "why"; school improvement is practice and policy oriented and intended to change education in the desired direction. However, in their orientation to outcomes, input, processes, and context in education, they also have much in common. In the theoretical part, different orientations have been analysed and combined in a model for effective school improvement. Based on this analysis, an evaluation framework was developed for the analysis of the case studies of school improvement projects in the participating countries. The theoretical model and the results of the analyses of the case studies were combined in a framework of effective school improvement.
