One Page Descriptions of a Successful Teaching Strategy
Several Teaching Tactics are published in each issue of the journal and are made available for free download without subscription.
In 1 page (400 words):
- State succinctly the context within which you used the strategy including: characteristics of your students, the institution and the course, when in the semester you use this tactic, and how long it takes.
- State the pedagogical purpose of the strategy
- Provide a description of the strategy itself in brief, clear language
- State why and how the strategy was effective – i.e., (how it supports student learning, including some analysis to generalize the principles at work, in order to make the particular strategy transferable to different contexts and subject matter).
