Three Pedagogical Principles

Students! Errors and Misconceptions (Principle 1) Based on Previous Learning Students come to the classroom with conceptions of numbers grounded in their whole-number learning that lead them astray in the world of rational numbers; e.g. multiplying always makes numbers bigger. x = Teachers must engage students! preconceptions

The Knowledge Network: (Principle 2) New Concepts and New Applications UNDERSTANDING REQUIRES FACTUAL KNOWLEDGE AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKS

Design Matters!

Dr. Jay Lehr Let there be stoning!

On the importance of presenting well "Failure to spend the [class] time wisely and well, failure to educate, entertain, elucidate, enlighten, and most important of all, failure to maintain attention and interest should be punishable by stoning. There is no excuse for tedium."

On dull conference speakers teachers "They are not sophisticated, erudite scientists speaking above our intellectual capability; they are arrogant, thoughtless individuals who insult our very presence by the lack of concern for our desire to beneﬁt from a meeting class which we choose to attend."

On reading a conference paper class notes "There is never an excuse to read a paper notes ... Better to lower the level of verbal excellence and raise the level of extemporaneous energy."

On using slides (35mm and OHPs in those days): "They must be brightly lit and convey a simple thought. If you need a pointer to indicate an important concept or location on a slide, it is probably too crowded or difﬁcult to comprehend."
