Set Clear Goals and Challenge the Intellect!

Clear goals and intellectual challenge – Effective teachers set high standards for students. They also articulate clear goals/standards. Students should know up front what they will learn and what they will be expected to do. You may choose to write goals/standards on the board or on a PowerPoint.  Also remember hearing statements at least three times, usually moves it to our long term memory.  State the goal/standard and the beginning of the lesson, halfway through reference it, and then again during your closure.
