WHAT GREAT TEACHERS DO DIFFERENTLY
There are scores of books written to help you become a better teacher. The reality is: the best teachers and the worst teachers can read more books, pass college exams, recite educational theory, and write lesson plans to include the proper standards and benchmarks. But in the classroom, the difference between more effective teachers and their less effective colleagues is not what they know. It is what they do and how they do it. This course is about clarifying what great teachers do, recognize how great teachers teach, and practicing those methods in your own classroom.
