• Chunk your
lectures into
short blocks of time and
incorporate activities to
promote active learning
#1 – Keep Students Engaged
#2 – Promote Active Learning
• Teachers serve as guides
• Create opportunities for students
to engage new materials
• Learning retention improves when
students are given opportunities
to question, clarify, apply, and
consolidate new knowledge.
Why it matters...

beat of a different drum.
• Helps us implement effective
teaching strategies that
 build on strengths and
 address weaknesses
#3 – Assess Prior Knowledge
Knowledge Walk: Resumés
Sample Method:
Assess Prior Knowledge
• Uses questioning to introduce
new concepts and activate
prior learning

modalities to enhance learning

students’ collective knowledge
How does it work?
Time for a quick
demonstration...
Would any volunteers
like to go on a
knowledge walk?
