Because a class is smaller and discussion is more likely, some professors feel that simply introducing a topic related to reading is adequate to motivate students and promote learning.

Improving Learning in Small Classes - Teaching Excellence

Small classes need structure just as lecture classes do. Further, many students lack instructional awareness and are unfamiliar with classes that require active learning. Without structure or sufficient experience on the part of students, small classes, simply because of their size, will not be effective ways for students to learn. Much of the advice for good teaching in large classes holds true for small classes as well. Think through your ENTIRE course. Setting up small classes to work well requires significant time initially, and a great deal of attention particularly early in the semester with lower-level classes.

Standardized Content: Can They Coexist? By Thom Markham As Common Core State Standards are incorporated from school to school across the country, educators are discussing their value.

Inquiry Learning Vs. Standardized Content: Can They Coexist?

It may seem that educators are arguing over whether the CCSS will roll out as a substitute No Child Left Behind curriculum or as an innovative guide to encourage inquiry rather than rote learning. In reality, as time will prove, we’re arguing over whether content standards are still appropriate. Everyday there is less standardization of information, making it nearly impossible to decide what a tenth-grader should know. Beyond the core literacies of reading, writing, computation, and research, the world-wide culture of innovation, discovery, multi-polarity, interdisciplinary thinking, and rapid change depends on the explosive potential of the human mind, not entombed truths from the past. There is only one resolution to the debate. So how can you, as a teacher, help move the dialogue forward? But PBL is the near-term solution. REDEFINE RIGOR.
