    I thought this would be especially interesting for the math and science people. Student feedback is essential in understanding how a teacher's mode of instruction enhances or hinders their learning.

  • For two weeks every fall, all the 3rd grade classes participate in a unit on apples.

      I feel like integrating a general topic like apples is more easily done at an elementary level, but I feel something like this would be just as valuable, if not more, at a secondary level. We, as teachers, are always so focused on finishing our curriculum in time, that we don't even think about collaborating with different departments. A lot could be accomplished and learned if teachers started working together more.
  • Neither case provides an adequate answer to the key questions at the heart of effective learning:
  • By assessment we mean the act of determining the extent to which the desired results are on the way to being achieved and to what extent they have been achieved.

      I like that this included the phrase "on the way to being achieved". This implies, and should, that assessment is ongoing and doesn't always just happen at the end of a unit. A teacher should be assessing throughout a topic/unit to ensure that students are on their way to success.

  • as “coaches,” we will likely have to adjust our design and performance

      Many times teacher expect students to adjust to their teaching style. We are the professionals and experts on the material; it is much easier for us to change how we are presenting the information than it is for a student to change the way in which they learn best.
