A very interesting article written in The Guardian at the end of last month. I feel that I do use some of these, but have fallen into other traps. Have a look at the full article [click here]

The main points are listed here:
1. Know your subject
2. Praise can do more harm than good
3. Instruction matters
4. Teacher beliefs count
5. Think about teacher-student relationships
6. Manage behaviour
7. There’s no evidence that setting works
8. Don’t worry about learning styles
9. Learning should be hard at first
10. Build relationships with colleagues and parents
