It offers a set of seven research-based recommendations. A summary of the research evidence and a level-of-evidence rating are provided for each recommendation. The seven recommendations in the guide have been synthesized to result in the four recommended practices on this website. This Practice Guide is the foundation for all the Doing What Works content on how to organize your teaching.
