    RULES FOR EFFECTIVE TEACHING: 1
     
     
    Don't be authoritative. 
     
    Ignore student questions
    until after class.
     
    Be an example.
     
    Listen attentively.
     
    Don't show off during tell-backs.
     
    Don't ask prompting questions.
     
    If students have 
    a short tell-back, 
    let them tell a story 
    about their family 
    or home.
     
    An alternative task
    is to copy 
    from the lesson.
     
    Move to another chair 
    between two students
    each 15 minutes.
     
    Sit by a non-complying student
    to keep the student on task.
     
    Limit teacher talking
    during tell-backs
    so students can talk.

    Teachers who talk
    limit their students'
    recitation opportunities.
