         Steven Katz (n.d.) “There is no sin­gle big­ger pre­dic­tor of stu­dent learn­ing and achieve­ment than qual­i­ty of class­room instruc­tion that kids are exposed to.” The onus of stu­dent learn­ing and achieve­ment falls on the qual­i­ty of my class­room instruc­tion.  If I teach poor­ly they will like­ly do poor­ly, but if I …
