Principals of Quality Instruction
Instruction "should engage
students in a variety of learning activities that are purposefully designed to connect with what they already know and motivate them to work toward developing deeper understanding" (Gollub et al, 2002, p 137-138)
According to the Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS), qualified teachers:
"Teachers should make their reasoning and problem-solveing strategies visible to students whenever possible"
(Gollub et al, 2002, p 139-141, Collins and Smith, 1982; Leseter et al., 1994, Schoenfeld, 1983, 1985)
Gollub et al, 2002, p 139-141
Two Types of Assessment:
Assessment of Learning
Assessment for Learning
Assessments Should be:
Reliable, Valid and Fair
(Gollub et al, 2002, p 143)
Feedback is a Critical Component of Assessments
"Of primary importance if a test is to support learning is that students be given timely and frequent feedback about the correctness of their understandings; in fact, providing such feedback is one of the most important roles for assessment"
(Gollub et al, 2002, p 143)

Uses domain-specific language, procedures, and "models of inquiry and truth verification" that are "accepted practice"
Promotes interdisciplinary connections and connections outside of the classroom
