In a 2012 article, Barak Rosenshine outlines 10 principles of instruction that ‘all teachers should know’. These principles are:
- Begin a lesson with short review of previous learning
- Present new material in small steps with student practice after each step
- Ask a large number of questions and check the responses of all students
- Provide models
- Guide student practice
- Check for student understanding
- Obtain a higher success rate
- Provide scaffolds for difficult tasks
- Require and monitor independent practice
- Engage students in weekly and monthly review
