Reading and studying with notes

Start with the note on teaching theory if you want to explore teacher development and teaching techniques. If your focus is classroom practice, try the observation note, which considers its purpose and instruments. The reflective journal note offers another starting point, with attention to feedback and evaluating subject knowledge.

As you read, write a short summary of each section, then check it against the note. Compare the observation and reflection notes to see how they approach examining teaching practice. When you want a visual view, switch to a mind map on the unit page; a quiz can offer a different way to check your understanding.
