Which instructional practices support the highest gains in student achievement? If one reads the publicity associated with new programs, they all do! How is the busy instructional leader to know how to separate the genuine instructional practice from the fad? This course examines the current research that supports student learning and engagement. In order for instructional leaders to promote effective learning environments, they must be able to understand, identify, and apply effective learning theories, research-based instructional strategies and methodologies.
