Awhile back, someone on Twitter (sorry, I don’t remember who) raised a question about how many decisions a teacher has to make each day.

I, and others, have previously written posts on this topic, and thought it would be useful to bring together what I have – feel free to suggest more:

This tweet, and Dan Meyer’s accompanying post about it, has a lot of relevance to this “Best” list:
