Module #3: Introduction
Domain 4a: Professional Responsibilities –
Reflecting on Teaching
In this module, you will have the opportunity to reflect on eight
engagement strategies (sometimes referred to as the Big Eight)
that when used effectively will increase student engagement and
increase student learning. These strategies are only a small
sampling that teachers draw upon as they seek to have optimal
learning in broad and differing settings and groups. While this
module will help you gain familiarity with these eight strategies,
the primary purpose of this module is to instill a habit of
professional reflection on your teaching practices.
