This module is an overview of the organization of the knowledge base as it is described in The Skillful Teacher (Saphier, Haler-Speca, Gower, 2008) text. This session will include a survey of the eighteen areas of performance that a teacher must attend to in everyday instruction within four categories: curriculum and lesson planning, motivating students, delivering instruction, and managing a classroom.
