Teaching Excellence

There is no single formula for effective teaching; effective teaching is a dynamic interaction of techniques, strategies, feedback and environment. Innovative teachers embrace this dynamic interaction… monitoring, assessing, changing… continually reflecting on the impact of their instructional practices. Innovative teachers approach teaching as a scholarly process that demands diligent attention to outcomes and a willingness to incorporate novel instructional strategies.

Being Present for Your Students - Enid Schwartz

When asked to showcase my best practices to share with others, I had to really search for the right words to convey what I do because I do what feels natural for me. Having been a distant learner during my PhD program I know that there are times students feel as if they are in never-never land, between hard walls and outer space. It can be pretty lonely out there. For that reason, I check into my classroom frequently so that students don’t feel as if they have no lifeline to help guide them.
