Teach Effectively!

This is a podium dedicated to promoting effective instructional practices. Effective practices are those methods, techniques, procedures, strategies, algorithms, programs, and etc. that produce measurably better outcomes for learners.

In this space, the primary emphasis is on effective instruction for students with disabilities, particulary learning and behavior problems typically identified in the U.S. as “learning disabilty” and “emotional or behavior disorders.” Students identified as having associated problems such as attention deficit disorder or mental retardation may also benefit from the practices promoted here.

The goal of this site is to provide a trustworthy source for consumers of educational methods. Unlike many sites on the Internet, this site will not hawk it’s own products. It will not bend evidence to support a practice. Instead, it will simply report the reasons for adopting evidenced-based practices and the evidence about those practices.
