What have we learned from these?• Skillful teachers are made, not born

– Teaching is complex; can’t be reduced to a checklist of behaviors or strategies for every classroom, content area, grade, learning objective, student

– Effective teachers have rich repertoires of professional practice and are skilled at “making the match” between standard, student, situation, and strategy

– Effective teachers have more than one way to handle a given teaching situation

What will we do differently?
