Module #3: Introduction

Domain 4a: Professional Responsibilities – Reflecting on Teaching

In this module, you will have the opportunity to reflect on eight engagement strategies (sometimes referred to as the Big Eight) that when used effectively will increase student engagement and increase student learning. These strategies are only a small sampling that teachers draw upon as they seek to have optimal learning in broad and differing settings and groups. While this module will help you gain familiarity with these eight strategies, the primary purpose of this module is to instill a habit of professional reflection on your teaching practices.
