Tilting your Teaching

Tilting your teaching explores the seven simple shifts—a set of research-based, practice-proven techniques every teacher can use to gain students’ cooperation, engagement, and focus, and help them learn even more. Sometimes all it takes is an intentional pause, a purposeful glance, or a few well-timed words to keep a lesson on track.

The key is to be prepared to match the shift to the moment. Chances are, you’ve already seen some of these techniques in action—probably even used them yourself. Now’s your chance to put them together in a way that works best for your grade level, subject, and teaching style.
