[edit] Principle Two:Good Teaching Practice Develops Reciprocity and Cooperation Among Students

Learning is enhanced when it is more like a team effort than a solo race. Good learning, like good work, is collaborative and social, not competitive and isolated.

[edit] Principle Three:Good Teaching Practice Uses Active Learning Techniques

Learning is not a spectator sport. Students do not learn much just sitting in classes listening to teachers, memorizing zetaclear prepackaged assignments, and spitting out answers. They must talk about what they are learning, write reflectively about it, relate it to past experiences, and apply it to their daily lives. They must make what they learn part of themselves.

[edit] Principle Four:Good Teaching Practice Gives Prompt Feedback

</div>

Knowing what you know and don’t know focuses your learning. In getting started, students need help in assessing their existing knowledge and competence. Then, in classes, students need frequent opportunities to perform and receive feedback on their performance. At various points during college, and at its end, students need chances to reflect on what they have learned, what they still need to know, and how they might assess themselves.

[edit] Principle Five:Good Teaching Practice Emphasizes Time on Task

</div>

Time plus energy equals learning. Learning to use one’s time well is critical for students and professionals alike. Allocating realistic amounts of time means effective learning for students and effective teaching for faculty.

Related Teaching-Learning Activities

  • Emphasis on study & time management skills
  • Whatever approach we take, I think it is really important that we do not "do all of the work" related to making sure students are attending to "time on task" but that we get them be self-reflective about their habits and improving or being proud of them. You could help them get engaged with one another on tips/approaches (in some interactive way) so they could learn from each other about what works and what common problems/issues they face, and maybe setting simple, achievable goals (setting a time for them to check back in with one another  - might be one way to create opportunities for peer learning/insight.

[edit] Principle Seven:Good Practice Respects Diverse Talents and Ways of Learning

Many roads lead to learning. Different students bring different talents and styles to college. Brilliant students in a seminar might be all thumbs in a lab or studio; students rich in hands-on experience may not do so well with theory. Students need opportunities to show their talents and learn in ways that work for them. Then they can be pushed to learn in new ways that do not come so easily.
