He is also the lead developer of the "Tools for Today's Educators" series, which includes titles such as "Tools for a Successful School Year (Starting on Day One)," "Tools for Thoughtful Assessment," "Tools for Conquering the Common Core," and a collaborative publication with McREL International, "Tools for Classroom Instruction That Works." His publication "Teaching for Deeper Learning" is a collaboration with Jay McTighe.
Silver has served as principal consultant for the Georgia Critical Thinking Skills Program and the Kentucky Thoughtful Education Teacher Leadership Program. His book "Tools for Thoughtful Assessment" received an Independent Publisher Book Award and a Learning Magazine Teachers' Choice Award for Professional Development. Silver and his collaborators also produced "Tools for Promoting Active, In-Depth Learning," which earned a Teachers' Choice Award.
