Students learn but when they actively participate in the learning process, when they are engaged and motivated to learn, and when they can build on their existing knowledge and understanding.

Effective teaching begins with effective course design. Effective course design takes advantage of the growing body of research about how people learn.

 

As a relatively new faculty member, you may find yourself spending every available minute on teaching.

 

Every individual has learning style preferences, and most of your students probably have learning styles very different from yours. Understanding the variety of learning styles present in your classroom is essential to addressing those learning styles effectively.

 

Now teachers are often assigned to teach large enrollment. Use proven techniques to gain and keep your students’ attention, make technology work for you, and get students to work effectively in groups.

 

To be an efficient, effective teacher, you need to know what your students are learning. As well as what they are struggling with.
