Quality teaching is intentional and strategic. It involves making the right decision at just the right time to improve student learning. Strategic teachers are consciously aware of why they are doing what they are doing throughout the day. Instructional decisions are based on on-going assessment data as well as a deep understanding of the teaching-learning process. Effective teachers have a repertoire of strategies from which to draw upon in order to meet the diverse needs of all of their students. This webcast will feature some research and evidence based strategies found to be effective in improving student achievement.
The following questions are intended to promote professional dialogue, stretch current thinking and improve classroom practice. As you watch segments of this webcast, use the pause and play feature of your equipment to allow you to reflect and discuss what you have seen with your colleagues. Relate the key messages to your own practice and understanding of how students learn. Read more >>
