Even the best instructors can accidentally step on educational landmines every now and then. When they do, their effectiveness is well . . . affected. Being an effective instructor means not only doing the things you are supposed to do, but avoiding those things in the classroom you should not be doing. One way to minimize this from happening is to specifically identify the DON'Ts of the classroom. This book helps identify, examine, and give alternative practices to common DON'Ts that unassuming and even well-meaning instructors tend to do in a typical classroom setting.The book examines these DON'Ts in five basic areas, administrative don'ts, verbal don'ts, perceptual don'ts, technological don'ts, and other don'ts. Instructors can become more effective by examining these DON'Ts in greater detail and knowing how to avoid them.
