__The Daggett System for Effective Instruction:__

“Great teachers teach students. Other teachers teach subjects.”

“Teachers who take the time to know their students are better able to determine the best methods for capturing their attention, be it subtly waving in references to hobbies or interests to illustrate the usefulness of a skill or simply stating how the material is applied to the real world.” Ray McNulty

“Need school cultures in which relationships are emphasized and nurtured.”
