+# Teaching Techniques
+#### Checks for understanding
+A tool for assessing how well the class understands a topic before moving on
+
+#### Reasons to check for understanding
+* Helps guide your teaching pace
+* You get more feedback about which students are more challenged with the material
+* Feedback loop during the lesson
+
+# Avoid these checks for understanding
+* Do you understand?
+* Can I move on?
+* Any questions?
+
+#### These checks tend to have a luke warm response
+#### People may think they understand, but don't actually understand
+
+# Suggested Checks For Understanding
+* Fist of five
+* Calling on a person by name
+* Have students pair on a problem, then explain it to the group
+* Checking in with each student individually as they work on a problem
+* Teach a concept to your neighbor
+
+# Discussion: Teach!
+#### Incorporate at least one check for understanding and teach the following
+* Arrays
+* Hashes
+* Scrum process
+* OOP
+* Anything you are passionate about
+
+# Scaffolding
+* A lesson should build upon itself
+* Teacher describes or illustrates a concept multiple ways
+* Teacher gives a specific example that helps students complete an assignment
+* I do, we do, you do
+
+### Not `rails g scaffold`
+
+# Discussion: Great learning experience
+### Describe a great learning experience you have had
+### Why do you think it was so successful?
