The Core Insight
Educators Jeremy Visone, Ann Stiltner, and Esmeralda Cartagena Collazo identify prevalent ineffective instructional strategies like excessive homework, zero-sum competition, ping-pong questioning, outdated teaching methods, rigid teacher posture, straight desk rows, independent textbook work, same explanations for confusion, delayed feedback, and overreliance on visuals/sentence stems or translations for English learners. They advocate shifts to in-class practice, cooperative learning, inclusive questioning, personalized strategies, relationship-building, mobile teaching, flexible seating, scaffolded activities, varied explanations, guided confusion diagnosis, timely feedback, and asset-based translanguaging pedagogy with modeling and cultural integration.
