It’s time to modernize our teaching methods for student success
Modern teaching is not about your ability to deploy a flashy education app or attract Tik Tok followers. Instead, it’s a mindset where you keep student success at the forefront of your instruction. Today’s teachers have a unique opportunity to reflect on their values, rethink their lessons, and reevaluate what is essential to meet the needs of modern students. In Hacking Modern Teaching, Mike Roberts, an award-winning middle school educator and instructional coach, offers modern teaching hacks to help today’s teachers:
- Build flexible learning supports to maximize student success
- Offer multiple ways for students to demonstrate authentic learning
- Understand where students are socially and emotionally
- Communicate in simple, authentic ways
- Deliver learning in small doses to increase engagement
