Instruction must be done following best practices which allow for effective transference of information to students. Often times, such instruction depends on the specific students, as the learning style of one student may differ vastly from the learning style of another. For this reason, having methods of differentiating instruction on the fly (such as to meet the needs of auditory, kinesthetic, and visual learners) is essential to a competent instructional plan. Correspondingly, the instruction needs to be engaging. Although not all students will find every lesson interesting, use of a lead-in can be effective in engaging students. In the same way, a teacher's enthusiasm and passion for a lesson can be contagious with students as well. Lastly, if students are not learning anything, then there is no point to instruction. For this reason, the use of ongoing small-stakes assessments throughout the learning process can help shape future instruction to ensure student comprehension of the content.
