Four elements of effective classrooms

in effective classrooms, teachers consistently attend to at least four elements: whom they teach (students), where they teach (learning environ-ment), what they teach (content), and how they teach (instruction). if teachers lose sight of any one of the elements and cease investing effort in it, the whole fabric of their work is damaged and the quality of learning impaired.

The right amount of feedback to provide students

The hardest decision to make about feedback is the amount to provide. a natural inclination is to want to “fix” everything you see. That’s the teacher’s-eye view, where the target is perfect achievement of all learning goals. for real learning, what makes the difference is a usable amount of information that connects with something students already know and takes them from that point to the next level.
