These practices are all key elementsof the ETW, more because they are universal principles of how all students best learn,rather than being unique to a culturally diverse demographic. The Teaching and Learningseminar promotes these same principles while citing other sources3,26. The ExCEEdmodel was built on these principles. The concept of lesson objectives is so important thatan entire seminar is devoted to them introducing Bloom’s taxonomy5 to attain theappropriate cognitive level of the objective and providing a comprehensive list of actionverbs to help attain it.
