* Build students' motivation and self-efficacy so that they become active, optimistic participants in class.
* Provide rich, timely feedback that enables students to improve when it counts.
* Address skill and knowledge gaps within the context of new learning.
Students deserve no less than the most effective strategies available. These hands-on, ready-to-implement practices will enable you to provide all students with compelling, rigorous, and engaging learning experiences.
