PROJECT CRISS
McREL’s Classroom Instruction That Works (CITW), one of
the most widely used professional development manuals
in education for more than a decade, has launched a
collection of products, workshops and training, and free
resources to help educators translate our research-based
instructional strategies into better achievement for students.
The 2012 second edition of CITW contains updates and new
insights from the most recent, rigorous research and offers
a framework and planning guide for 21st century skills.
We also offer CITW professional development
workshops, where you'll learn how to implement and
sequence these strategies in the classroom, at both a
basic and advanced level.
Using Technology with CITW shows you how to infuse
technology into the CITW instructional strategies and
plan an implementation strategy.
Classroom Instruction That Works with English
Language Learners shows mainstream K-6 teachers how
to adapt CITW strategies for English language learners.

• Practical and affordable implementation
of the Common Core
The National Urban Alliance for Effective Education
(NUA) is a nonprofit professional development
organization of trained educational mentors who use an
approach based on brain research that supports the fact
that every child can learn.
Our educational mentors are award-winning teachers
and former principals and superintendents from across
the country who work in some of the most challenged
schools to provide student-focused classroom-based
professional development, advocacy and organizational
guidance to accelerate student achievement.
NUA incorporates instructional strategies and
teaching practices that are aligned with the Common
Core State Standards. Our mentors design and
lead demonstration lessons that guide teachers in
accelerating students’ achievement by:
• using processes that reveal students’ strengths to
build on academic areas that need improvement
• amplifying students’ voices to encourage a
growth mindset
