Do you actively teach using the Spectrum of Teaching Styles? We have a grant opportunity for those who would like to record one of their classes using any of the Styles to be added to our video library. Let us know if you're interested: spectruminstituteboard@gmail.com

Spectrum Styles A-K can be used or blended at any time in the learning process; however, the later styles are often easier for the teacher to use with a previously-taught concept. What Style do you use when reviewing material with your students? #sitl #sots #education #teaching
