Teaching strategies for effective learning (1)
  1. to apply understanding of education to improving teaching practices issues must be adressed
    1. defining goals and structure
      1. using appropriate teaching strategies
        1. assesing students
          1. evaluating teaching
            1. educational development & accountability
            2. problems with current methods
              1. good teaching encourages students to relate to subject matter in purposful way
                1. encourage deep learning
