Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
While reading from a textbook, try to highlight points that seem hard or important first. Then while reading a second time, emphasize them and try writing them in a notebook or notepad. Keep doing this until you can write the points perfectly in the words of the textbook.

SEE ALL STUDY TIPS
After covering a topic, discuss it with a friend. I find it helps to really cement it in my mind to say it out loud in my own words and have someone talk about it with me (and if you realize you don't know enough to discuss it, then it's easy to tell that you need to look it over again).

Teaching Tips
Here are two teachings tips from our collection of over 250 practical tips
Return Work Quickly
Grade and return work to students as quickly as possible. The greater the interval between a student handing in and receiving graded work, the less impact your feedback will have.
Having Materials Ready
Be proactive by placing all materials and supplies students need to do their work in bins that are easily accessible to them. Lessons can be disrupted if you have to continually stop to provide one or more students with the supplies and materials they need for the lesson or assignment.
