Traveling Principal Show S5 E18 - Differentiating A Lecture
Teachers, you start the lesson off with lots to cover and begin at the bell lecturing on notes that students are to copy. Time is of the essence, yet a few in the class make it more complicated regardless. Attention spans are slight. Behavior becomes a small issue on one side of the room. Yet how much are they all learning in the first place with this method?
