Five Questions That Will Improve Your Teaching

It's not hard to find checklists that are supposed to make it easy to improve schools and classroom instruction. What's difficult is locating checklists that you can remember and that are actually useful, as I've written about before.

My own list —while not necessarily easy to implement—is easy to remember. And it has served my students and me well. Maybe that's because my list focuses on questions rather than tips.

"Will what I am about to do or say bring me closer to the person with whom I am communicating—or will it push me further away?

Education Rethink (John T. Spencer): Think-Write-Pair-Share

I like the notion of a think-pair-share and I've heard the information about its efficacy. It makes sense that students should think and reflect on an idea, pair up with a person and then share the information to a larger group. It's a simple concept that does a great job in avoiding groupthink. In fact, I thought about it often when I read Wisdom of Crowds. This blog consists of the individual thoughts of John T. Spencer. They do not reflect the ideas, philosophies or practices of the Cartwright Elementary School District. Furthermore, the blog criticisms are aimed at overall educational trends rather than any one individual or institution. The goal is to start a conversation regarding how to fix professional development.
