 * __The Art and Science of Teaching__** Presented by: [|Robert Marzano]

- it takes at least 10 years of deliberate practice to become a master of anything

- instruction, management and curriculum design have the most significant impact on effective teaching

Is it your job to entertain students? Entertain - maybe. Engage - definitely. - effective teachers are able to recognize when kids aren't engaged and know what to do to bring them back - ineffective teachers can recognize that students aren't engaged, but they're helpless to bring them back

What can teachers do to engage students? - games (academic in nature, not just games for game's sake) - inconsequential competition - physical movement - manage question and response rates - pacing - friendly controversy - opportunities for students to talk about themselves - unusual information - technology
