Each week, I publish a post or two containing three or four particularly useful resources on classroom instruction, and you can see them all here.
You can also see all my “Best” lists on instructional strategies here.
Here are this week’s picks:

An Active Learning Strategy for Using Videos in Class is from Edutopia.

Checking for understanding that leads to action: adaptive teaching is from The Education Endowment Foundation.
I am really proud of these two tools. Totally cost-free and ad-free. I hope you and your students find them useful.
