A strategy I use to check students' understanding frequently is what i call "sentence-finishing", where very simply sometimes I'll stop a sentence before the end and let students fill in the ... blank. At the very least, it allows a teacher to check whether a student is engaged at all in the first...place. Do you have any favorites?
It was great to read these practices all together like this. It makes everything very clear and objective. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for sharing, this is helpful! Curious if you've read What The Best College Teachers Do by Ken Bain. Some similar stuff in there.
What an insightful article! Thank you for sharing this 😍 I really like how specific and actionable these principles are 👏
Thank you, Javier. So glad you find the content practical and actionable!
I use these principles as the basis for teacher training in Myanmar (Burma's) monastic schools and learning centres for displaced children and youth.
Wow, that's so great to note Karen. Please do share more. We'd love to learn more about your work.
