- Aligned: Effective teaching is intentionally designed and organized to help learners meet learning objectives.
- Inclusive and equitable: Effective teaching considers learners’ experiences and creates opportunities for each learner to thrive.
- Active and engaged: Effective teaching creates opportunities for learners to critically engage ideas and each other.
- Growth-oriented: Effective teaching creates opportunities for learners to learn through practice and provides feedback that helps them grow their knowledge and abilities.
- Relevant: Effective teaching helps learners understand why what they are learning matters and prepares them for future learning and life after the UW.
