This linked pages here cover Learning Theories and Models of Teaching as well as Classroom Management

Models of Teaching is at the core of the theory/practice aspect of the K-12 teacher education. The pages linked here cover the rationale and research on the major models of teaching and applies the models by using scenarios and examples of instructional materials. Because it deals with the major psychological and philosophical approaches to teaching and schooling, Models of Teaching provides a direct link between educational foundations and student teaching.

The essential task of this realization of Models of Teaching is to describe a rich variety of approaches to teaching--in sufficient detail and with sufficient illustration of their uses and purposes in real learning situations as to make each model an active, or at least potentially active, part of a teacher's repertoire. No teacher, prospective, neophyte, or veteran, could examine these models without a renewed sense of the multiplicity of educational purposes, the range and diversity of useful teaching behaviors, or the intellectual zest inherent in the craft.-"Models of Teaching"
