10. Help students develop deep knowledge
What it looks like: "Teachers introduce new knowledge by helping students connect it to prior knowledge. They help students make meaningful patterns, assembling disparate bits of information into coherent patterns. They consider what students will think about with each assignment and aim to focus thinking on deep knowledge"
Why it is important: "The goal of learning is deep knowledge- the ability to connect ideas, see patterns, and apply learning in novel situations- which in turn, is key to memory. Effective teaching strategies do not always work; they must be applied with intentionality according to the knowledge teachers are helping students develop."
(Goodwin & Hubbell, pg. 198)
