Effective teaching involves a combination of skills, techniques, and strategies that enable educators to engage students, facilitate learning, and promote academic success. Here are some (certainly not all) of the essentials of effective teaching:
I have found my teaching to be much more effective when I realized that my objective should be to assist learning rather than to share my knowledge. This understanding shifted my teaching focus from “covering the material” to UN-covering the material, and strongly encouraged active participation in learning.
There are several essentials of effective learning that can help you maximize your learning potential:
By incorporating these essentials into your learning routine, you can optimize your learning and achieve your goals.
TESTIMONIALS
"Doug Black, with 1UP Teaching, has been working with my daughter on her math. She was struggling to understand how to complete her homework each night and was scoring low on her quizzes and tests. I am so grateful for Doug's guidance. After only a few sessions, she has developed more confidence in her Math skills and has made perfect scores on her last few quizzes. Doug has given her just the boost she needed to get through the 3rd quarter of 6th grade and we will continue to call on him to help out! He comes highly recommended!" - Sunnyie R. "Proud Momma"
"Mr. Black is the most genuine and memorable teacher that I have had. He captured my attention and engaged me in learning. With his witty humor and enthusiasm for teaching I looked forward to going to school every day. He made each student feel appreciated and unique. I wanted to do my best and make him proud." - Travis T.
"Mr. Black is an all around great teacher, mentor and friend. I know I would never have achieved all I have without him." - Alisa M.
“Mr. Black, you will always be one of my favorite teachers. Your lessons never stopped teaching me. You taught me that math was like a puzzle and could be fun. That it wasn’t that I didn’t understand but that I needed to find the right way to understand it, for me. I still use this way of thinking while helping my own kids and supporting students in the classroom as a Special Educational Aide. Your great teaching will carry on for generations. Thank you for helping me find my love and confidence for learning.” - Tawhnee D.
