************************************

Greatness is keeping it simple.

Every PD program out there seems to have trademarked “their” methods and “their” discoveries as if they own the secret. And our overstuffed bookshelf is proof of our search for it.

But yet we still find ourselves staring down at our blank plan book Sunday night or our empty agenda board Monday morning, wondering...

- How do I make this worksheet into an activity? ... One that is different from what we did yesterday?

- Where do I even begin to make this more student-centered? ... One that makes them learn better than if I just lectured?

Great teaching is great teaching. Period. And now finally it's been curated down to something you can actually utilize.

The scientifically-proven (and re-proven) lesson components, plug-and-play teaching strategies, and concrete examples of the moves that work with all students boiled down into easy-to-flip-through, use-today best practice strategies.

Included in this Deck

7 research-backed strategy cards for each of these 6 approaches to making learning stick:

• Growing students’ vocabulary of academic and content-related words
• Maximizing thinking through non-verbal communications
• Fostering empowered and quality student talk
• Facilitating effective and engaged small groups
• Getting students up out of their seats and kinesthetically learning
• Checking student understanding at every step of the way

This handy, stash anywhere flip deck is universal enough to help any middle or high school teacher looking to trade that pile of highly-recommended-yet-still-unread books for the palm-sized simple clarity of what great teaching is.
