Each week, I publish a post or two containing three or four particularly useful resources on classroom instruction, and you can see them all here.

You can also see all my “Best” lists on instructional strategies here.

Here are this week’s picks:

How to Build Better, More Effective Tests and Quizzes is from Edutopia. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Learning About Effective Student & Teacher Assessments.

5 ways to boost reading fluency for middle and high school students is from Teach Learn Grow. I’m adding it to The Best Resources On Reading Fluency (Including How To Measure It).

I’m adding this video to The Best Resources On The Idea Of Evaluating Teacher “Input” Instead Of Student “Output”:

Peer tutoring helps students while saving schools money is from Ed Source. I’m adding it to THE BEST RESOURCES ON PEER TUTORS.

So many online professional development videos show teachers in classes where the class sizes are small, and everything goes perfectly. It would be nice to see ones with the class sizes most teachers have, and showing when things aren’t going well & how teachers turn things around.

Research-Based Tips for Optimal Seating Arrangements is from Edutopia. I’m adding it to The Best Resources On Classroom Seating Strategies.
