Effective Teaching Principles
Principle 1: Students learn more when they are engaged actively during an instructional task.
Principle 2: High and moderate success rates are correlated positively with student learning outcomes, and low success rates
are correlated negatively with student learning outcomes.
Principle 3: Increased opportunity to learn content is correlated positively with increased student achievement. Therefore, the
more content covered, the greater the potent/al for student learning.
Principle 4: Students achieve more in classes in which they spend much of their time being directly taught or supervised by
their teacher.
Principle 5: Students can become independent, self-regulated learners through instruction that is deliberately and carefully
scaffolded.
Principle 6: The critical forms of knowledge associated with strategic learning are (a) declarative knowledge, (b) procedural
knowledge, and (c) conditional knowledge. Each of these must be addressed if students are to become independent, self-
regulated learners.
Principle 7: Learning is increased when teaching is presented in a manner that assists students in organizing, storing, and
retrieving knowledge.
Principle 8: Students can become more independent, self-regulated learners through strategic instruction.
