Managing the Inner World of Teaching: Emotions, Interpretations, and Actions by Robert J. Marzano and Jana S. Marzano focuses on an issue often overlooked in schools: teachers’ thoughts and feelings. By understanding and monitoring their emotions, interpretations and actions, teachers can transform their instructional practices.
The authors expertly guide readers through three management phases – awareness, analysis and choice – and provide questions to purposefully manage teachers’ positive and negative actions. Teachers can use this understanding to enhance classroom practice and student learning.

- understand the inner world of teaching – their emotions, interpretations and actions – and analyse how it effects their instructional practices
- use the three-phase management process – awareness, analysis and choice – every day to ensure success
- gain effective strategies and activities to enhance the lives of their students and learn to honour each student’s self-system.
