Students should know up front what they will learn and what they will be expected to do with what they know. 5: Independence, control and active engagement Good teaching fosters [a] sense of student control over learning and interest in the subject matter. (p. 100). Good teachers create learning tasks appropriate to the students level of understanding. They also recognize the uniqueness of individual learners and avoid the temptation to impose mass production standards that treat all learners as if they were exactly the same. It is worth stressing that we know that students who experience teaching of the kind that permits control by the learner not only learn better, but that they enjoy learning more. (p. 102) 6: Learning from students Effective teaching refuses to take its effect on students for granted. It sees the relation between teaching and learning as problematic, uncertain and relative. Good teaching is open to change: it involves constantly trying to find out what the effects of instruction are on learning, and modifying the instruction in the light of the evidence collected.

Pete Holden 76 weeks ago I might also add non-judgmental class control and discipline along with strict time management so the class period has no "dead time."

My point of view is that - a strict time management strategy would be - "regimentation" and would not have scope for the student to participate in the learning process.

.In my opinion students will thrive in an environment that is structured with expectations. These six points are the blueprint for effective teaching no matter what the grade level. A well-managed classroom can achieve so much more if there is structure.

In my view, all six are very useful and I could relate to all one way or another. From experience, having exemplary conduct outside the classroom is also very vital for teaching success.

The 6 keys are very important and any teacher can use some of them or even intergrate the whole set. My question is, can someone please help in giving the difference between teaching and effective teaching?

The concept of learning styles puts an emphasis on the learner, making teachers rethink their insctruction to try to maximize student achievement. The learning styles theories should be developed to a point that every student would have the right to have an option on how they access new learning
