About this episode

You probably know this already, but it bears repeating -- tactics don’t transform instruction. You can give teachers all the tactics you want, but if they don’t understand how to help all students learn, your tactics will fail them. That’s why on this episode we’re breaking down the principles of effective instruction so that you can help every teacher in your building become a master teacher. This episode breaks down the first 3 principles of effective instruction and shows you how implementing them on a regular basis can significantly change the instructional quality of your entire school. The next episode will tackle the other 4 principles. By the time you’re finished with this series, you’ll understand exactly what it takes to achieve 100% student success in the classroom #LikeABuilder.
