Teaching culture is an integral part of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). In order to communicate clearly and effectively in English, students must have knowledge of the language's vocabulary, grammar, when and how to use them appropriately (function), and the corresponding body language. English students also need to be able to read...

One research-based practice I would use a lot in my future math classroom would be flexible grouping. Flexible grouping offers great opportunities for students to work in different types of groups, such as whole class, pairs, or small groups.

The two most used theories that I use and will use are:
1. Erik Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development (This theory discusses the importance of students transition from dependence in education to independence in thought, practice, etc.)
2. Jean Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development (This theory talks about the importance of students thinking more logically in thought and transitioning to abstract thought in their educational and personal lives.)

Research Based Practices
Writing Activities- having the students get their thoughts down on paper, use like a KWL chart.
Getting away from the 5 paragraph paper.
Big sticky note ideas- Having different key words from a poem on a big sticky note and having the students write their thoughts underneath.

Evidence-Based Mathematics Practices: practices and strategies that have been shown to be effective through rigorous research. When teachers implement EBPs along with a standards-based curriculum, they are providing high-quality mathematics instruction.
For example, an evidence based practice that help students learn abstract mathematics concepts and solve problems is the use of visual representations

Questioning: Asking good questions
Group Work: Random, planned, small, large
Choice Assignments: giving students the option to choose their focus
Whiteboard work: if students work on a whiteboard they are more likely to try
Lit Circles: common thing used as the basis for discussion
