Students can learn at different times and in different locations as well as at the same time and in the same location-the classroom. Students learn only when they want to learn. You can bring a student to a fountain, but you can't make her drink unless she is thirsty. Your students will have a greater impact on the future than you will. Create high expectations and students will reach out and stretch.
Students have different learning styles.
Use a variety of teaching strategies. Assess only what you teach and tell students to learn. The fountain of knowledge and source of truth does not always reside in the front of the classroom. They have learned a great deal through it. Students learn as well, as fast, and as much from electronically delivered instruction as in a traditional classroom.
