To err is human--and to blame it on a computer is even more so.

Best Practice Demonstrated
Teaching is both art and science. Best practice is about the performances we as teachers strive for and may help each other obtain. While the skills of teaching are widely understood, we still do not share a common language about best practices. Online video lessons are one way to communicate best practices.

The links from this page will give you online video examples of best practices from a variety of teachers, in a variety of grade levels.

It is our hope that by viewing these videos all teachers will take away new ideas with which to engage their students in the learning process in new and exciting ways.
