I need some help getting started on this assignment. Malcolm Knowles, Stephen Brookfield, Michael Galbraith, and H. B. Long have each developed principles of effective practice. There is no evidence that one set of principles is more effective than the other. Selecting a set of principles to follow depends on what principles complement your own philosophy of education and instructional style. You will select TWO principles of effective practice from the above listed authors. Need some help finding sources to use in constructing a paper.
