 Some teaching ideas feel a little too trendy, too techy, or too fluffy… until they're not. Today we're counting down 10 teaching strategies educators once doubted and now swear by. From the surprising power of silence to the glow-up of structured lectures, these are the classroom moves that went from "no thanks" to "never teaching without it." You'll hear from instructors across English, psychology, chemistry, economics, math, and biology as they share the moments that changed their minds and their classrooms. Along the way, we explore what actually boosts student engagement, strengthens learning, and saves instructors time and energy. Brought to you by Macmillan Learning Lectures can be boring.
