Student achievement can clearly be enhanced through effective teaching behaviors, but what kinds of teacher behaviors lead to higher achievement among learners? This 6-page fact sheet describes five different teacher behaviors that can lead to higher student achievement. These behaviors are clarity, variability, enthusiasm, task oriented and/or businesslike behavior, and student opportunity to learn criterion material. Written by R. Kirby Barrick and Andrew C.
