These things should never go out of style:
Teacher Read-Alouds
Students reading with other students
Students collaborating with other students
Partners working (Reciprocal teaching) or Partner Work
Cooperative Learning Groups
Self-Selected Independent Reading Time at School and time to discuss Books!
Writing, writing, writing, and writing (Meaningful writing!)
Smiling Students
Respect/community among teacher and his students
Meta-Comprehension Strategies
Hands-on Science
Real-Life Science Connections
Manipulatives in Math/Modeling
Real-Life Math Problems
Character Lessons and Modeled by Everyone in the Building
Citizenship Lessons and Meaningful Social Studies
Meaningful Experiences rather than rote assignments
Some Changes That You Should Try If You Haven't Already Done So:
Flexible Seating
Student Reflection Process
Student Goal Setting in many areas
Student Monitoring of Progress
More Intentional Feedback
Start small with Technology and find an app or website or two or three that are truly effective and they enhance the learning
This is a brief start.
Dig deep. Grab the knowledge. Ask questions. Learn!
