Teach for Learning

I don’t understand this stuff at all? What are you talking about in class???

What is your anticipated outcome?

How will you accomplish that outcome?

How will you know you were successful?

What is one issue or concern you have with respect to your students and creating an effective learning environment?

Bligh, 2000, What’s the Use of Lectures? 2000, p.51; Hartley & Davies, 1978, Programmed Learning and Educational Technology:15:207-224.

Smart

Carol Dweck, 2006

Entity – fixed, less risk, look smart, criticism is about self

Incremental – growth, accepting challenge, failure is opportunity, criticism is about task

I study all the time….but I never seem to get good grades.
