Learning is greatly affected by psychological and emotional conditions of students. 

Development and delivery of a course is greatly impacted by the skills of an instructor. The details presented here give us the building blocks to for student success.

Objectives set forth the instructional purpose and standards form the foundation of the subject matter.  

Taking time to prep resources leads to higher relevancy to subject matter.

Do you favor more frequent short quizzes or fewer longer quizzes?

Diving into these details allows us to refine our delivery and expand our approaches.

Considering the research findings related to student psychology causes me to take a closer look at class prep and execution from the student's perspective.

From the beginning of a class I try to learn and understand as much as possible about each student. From past experience as an employer, I've learned that people are different and their motivations are different as well. 

Stories of firsthand accounts can be highly effective in a class setting.

Become an amateur psychologist, or just a caring person, and the foundation of education will be established!
