Best practices

摘要

Educators who engage in best practices utilize a variety of instructional delivery methods to assist all learners in achieving success in concept mastery. Varying instructional delivery methods allows the educator to help motivate students, connect students' prior and subsequent learning, incorporate higher-level thinking and problem-solving skills into activities and lessons, and quickly assess student learning before, during, and after a lesson. Best practices help educators set expectations for completing activities/lessons/projects/units, differentiate instruction, integrate curricula, and provide active learning opportunities for students to internalize learning (March & Peters, 2008). Best practices also include classroom management, creating collaborative learning opportunities, setting transparent course expectations, enhancing students' transferability skills, creating learner satisfaction, and creating sustainable learning for students (Stone, 2004).
