Because most faculty default to teaching the way they were taught, i.e. LECTURE, I am constantly on the look out for examples and ideas for fostering a more effective pedagogy. This is an article on teaching tips which can be used with some modification in any classroom. College instructors will be MUCH more effective if they can realize the goal is Student LEARNING, not teaching in the traditional sense of pontificating from the lofty peak of knowledge to the beggars down below. That may seem funny, but it is too often true.
Here is the link to the article: 20 Collaborative Teaching Tips. Hope you enjoy it AND hope you use some of them. Yes, collaborative teaching requires more preparation, but the pay-off in student learning is HUGE!
