Morning: Small Group Sharing: Effective Instructional Strategies:
Effective teaching strategies are like fairy tales because they follow a patter and hopefully have a happy ending. Effective teaching strategies are like mysteries because something unexpected may happen. Effective teaching strategies are like non-fction because you rely on your powers of observation instead of imagination. Effective teaching strategies are like horror because it corrals the unwilling.
