The Seven Principles

1. Encourages contact between students and faculty.
2. Develops reciprocity and cooperation among students.
3. Encourages active learning,
4. Gives prompt feedback.
5. Emphasizes time on task.
6. Communicates high expectations.
7. Respects diverse talents and ways of learning.

All of these seven principles are so important for teachers to remember everyday as they step into their classroom. This list is made for professors of college students but it really can be applied to teachers of any ages. If these principles are followed, students will be able to gain the most from their educational experience, which should be the teacher's goal.
