4. 3 Major Roles of Effective Teachers:
Making wise choices about the most effective instructional strategies to employ
Designing classroom curriculum to facilitate student learning
Making effective use of classroom management techniques

5. “No single role by itself is sufficient to
guarantee student learning, but take
one out of the mix and you probably
guarantee that students will have
difficulty learning.”

6. Meta-Analysis is quantitatively combining the results
from a number of studies… and the meta-analysis of

classroom management is one of the critical
ingredients of effective teaching – first in terms of
its impact on student achievement.
