10 Research-Based Teaching Principles Every Teacher Should Know
1. Start lessons with a quick review. Daily review strengthens previous learning and boosts recall.
2. Use small steps with student practice. Chunk new material in bite-sized pieces so as not to overwhelm working memory.
3. Ask lots of questions. Questions provide necessary practice and help assess mastery of new material.
4. Provide models and examples. Modeling expert problem solving techniques helps students learn new skills faster.
5. Guide student practice. Successful teachers spend more time actively guiding practice to ensure quality learning.
6. Check for understanding frequently. Regular comprehension checks identify areas needing reteaching.
7. Strive for high student success rates. High success during practice instills confidence and enthusiasm for learning.
8. Scaffold difficult tasks. Temporary supports like modeling and prompts facilitate learning of complex skills.
9. Require independent practice. Extensive independent practice builds automaticity and fluency with new knowledge.
10. Incorporate weekly and monthly reviews. Regularly revisiting previous material strengthens connections and patterns.
