Reviewing course content in advance of the session, as needed.
|
- Putting an agenda on the board.
- Sequencing tasks in increasing levels of cognitive difficulty.
- Making overt references to course goals.
- Transitioning smoothly between activities.
- Using a variety of activities.
- Managing time well.
- Accomplishing activities.
- Assessing student learning.
