What do you want your students to know, value and do? What DO your students DO in class? the more they DO… the more they THINK… the more they LEARN*

Anything students do in a classroom other than merely passively listening to instructor’s lecture

When learning is active, students do most of the work. They use their brains…above all,
students need to do it
