- Practices that Provide Effective Academic Challenge for First-Year Students. Journal on Excellence in College Teaching (2010), p. 56
Patterns and Analogies “Experts’ ability to classify information in more meaningful – and thus more practically useful – ways than novices is linked to their ability to recognize meaningful patterns.”
- How learning works: Seven research-based principles for smart teaching (2010), p. 55
Rubrics and Concrete Examples
“We understand new things in the context of things we already know, and most of what we know is concrete.” -Why don't students like school?: A cognitive scientist answers questions about how the mind works and what it means for the classroom (2009), p. 67
