This document outlines strategies for effective teaching that promote active learning. It recommends keeping lessons engaging by chunking lectures into short blocks of 15-20 minutes and incorporating activities. Teachers should serve as guides and create opportunities for students to apply and question new materials to improve retention. Assessing prior knowledge through techniques like "knowledge walks" engages students and provides context. Sample active learning activities described in the document include having students research job postings in small groups, report findings, and discuss requirements to make connections to resume writing. Resources for lessons, worksheets and activities on resumes and cover letters are also provided.
