11. Top Talent Power of Teaching for Effective Behaviors
The Power of Teaching is a means to look for– and engage in– teaching practices that are:
Research-established, and
Causal of (rather than simply correlative to) learning.
Such practices — or behaviors – are organized into 6 domains – or “Power Sources”
At its crux, Power of Teaching is about measurement, development, and support: Measurement of behaviors, development of practices, and support of teachers. Power of Teaching is designed to improve the ratio of effective teacher behaviors to neutral teacher behaviors.
