  PTI (Progressive Teaching Initiative) course pedagogy combines brief bits of direct instruction on a topic with formative assessments questions designed to help students construct deeper knowledge as they solve increasingly complicated problems together in groups. There are three major sets of problems to solve: 

  • formative assessment problems built into a SMART notebook presentation and linked to student polling devices
    
  • accompanying classwork and homework problems
    
  • labs and virtual activities

  In this course you will learn about these teaching methods.
