A recent post by Rebecca Alber provides some tips on effective teaching practices for teachers.
Alber writes on Edutopia: "We teachers are always looking to innovate, so, yes, it's essential that we try new things to add to our pedagogical bag of tricks. But it's important to focus on purpose and intentionality -- and not on quantity. So what really matters more than "always trying something new" is the reason behind why we do what we do."
Here are some of the five practices Alber covers ...
1. Teacher Clarity
2. Classroom Discussion
3. Feedback
4. Formative Assessments
5. Metacognitive Strategies
