"As the painter needs a framework of parchment. The improvising musical group needs its framework in time." Bill Evans

Teaching and instructing is no different. There is a framework—or science—for teaching that provides consistency, safety, and results. And there is an improvisation—or art—to teaching that adapts to the student in front of you. Often, we skew too strongly towards improvisation while neglecting the framework. This course presents a method to develop your framework for consistency (even across an instructional team), allowing improvisation or art to complement student-centered teaching.

Module 2: StrongFirst Teaching Principles
