Thanks to the AALS Legal Education Blogs Digest – Week Ending 11/8/24, I just came across a great post from the Legal Skills Prof Blog by Scott Freuhwald that hits on so many things, big and small, that can have a tremendously positive impact on teaching and learning. Below is a link to the full article/list along with some of my favorites.
20 principles from psychology for teaching and learning of students

Principle 14. Interpersonal relationships and communication are critical to both the teaching– learning process and the social-emotional development of students.
Principle 17. Effective classroom management is based on (a) setting and communicating high expectations, (b) consistently nurturing positive relationships, and (c) providing a high level of student support.
