Teaching & Learning
“WHEN ONE TEACHES, TWO LEARN”
ROBERT HEINLEIN
Our 12 principles for comprehensive teaching and learning approaches:
- Teachers’ knowledge of the subject matter is essential to the implementation of important teaching tasks
- Active involvement of the learner enhances learning
- Interaction between teachers and students is the most important factor in student motivation and involvement
- Students benefit from taking responsibility for their learning
- There are many roads to learning
- Expect more and you will achieve more
- Learning is enhanced in an atmosphere of cooperation
- Material must be meaningful
- Both teaching and learning are enhanced by descriptive feedback
- Critical feedback is only useful if the learner has alternatives to pursue
- Time plus energy equals learning
- Experience usually improves teaching
