"This article presents 10 research-based principles of instruction, along with suggestions for classroom practice. These principles come from three sources: (a) research in cognitive science, (b) research on master teachers, and (c) research on cognitive supports…The fact that the instructional ideas from three different sources supplement and complement each others gives us faith in the validity of these findings."
Although these ideas may not be new they are discussed in detail, potentially providing some new insights:
* Begin each lesson with a short review of previous learning,
* Present new material in small steps with student practice after each step,
* Ask a large number of questions and check the response of all students,
* Provide models,
* Guide student practice,
* Check for student understanding,
* Obtain a high success rate,
* Provide scaffolds for difficult tasks,
* Require and monitor independent practice,
* Engage students in weekly and monthly review.
