What Makes a Great Teacher?
Truly scientific research on teaching is hard to come by. I have found three research programs in education that seem genuinely scientific. The first is John Sweller's cognitive load theory. The second is Robert Pianta's CLASS protocol. Most recently, it seems that Teach for America has adopted evidenced-based methods for assessing teacher performance, as explored in this article in the Atlantic Monthly.

Thanks for the links. Keep up with the education research articles.
I think wearing a tiara really improves my teaching. Or at least it wakes my students up long enough to hear what I'm saying.
The tiara principle.
I will consult the literature to see if the results have been replicated. . .
