Consistency can be a good thing. People rarely like change, and students often find it calming when they walk into a classroom knowing what to expect. But sometimes this same consistency causes ruts that keep student brains from having the proper traction for learning. If you happen to find yourself in one of these ruts, then Teachley’s Amazing Talking Brain has some amazing tips to spice your teaching style. It’s a handy site that takes brain research and applies it to teaching strategies that improve student learning.

Their tips section have everything from “5 Tips to Increase Recall”, to “How to Increase Intrinsic Motivation”. They also have some pop quizzes for teachers to help you find your “ruts”. Check ‘em out here.
