2. Teaching Methods The term teaching method refers to the general principles, pedagogy and management strategies used for classroom instruction. Your choice of teaching method depends on what fits you — your educational philosophy, classroom demographic, subject area(s) and school mission state ment. Teaching theories can be organized into four categories based on two major parame ters: 1)a teacher - centered approach versus a student - centered approach, and 2)high - tech material use versus low - tech material use.

3. 1)Teacher - Centered Approach to Lea rning Taken to its most extreme interpretation, teachers are the main authority figure in a teacher - centered instruction model.

4. 2)Student - Centered Approach to Le arning While teachers are still an authority figure in a student - centered teaching model, teachers and students play an equally active role in the learning process

5. High Tech Approach to Learning Below are some tech tools used in classrooms today: 1) G Suite External link (Gmail, Docs, Drive, and Calendar) 2)Tablets/lapto ps 3) Gamification software (such as 3DGameLab External link and Classcraft External link ) 4)Education - focused social media platforms 5) Technology for accessibility External link for students with disabilities

6. Low Tech Approach to Learning Some learning styles require a physical presence and interaction between the educator and the student. some examples of low technology usage in different teaching method ologies: 1) Many types of vocational or practical training cannot be learned virtually, whether it be a laboratory experiment or woodworking. 2) Kinesthetic learners have a need for movement when learning. Teachers should allow students to move around, speak with hands and gestures.

7. Student - Centered Methods of Instru ction 1)Inquiry - based Learning (High Tech) 2) Personalized Learning (High Tech) 3) Game - based Learning (High Tech)

8. What are effective teaching strategies? Effective Teaching Strategies . Teaching effectively involves not only the use of tools, techniques, and strategies to optimize student learning but an understanding of context, in particular how your students learn, how they process information, what motivates them to learn more, and what impedes the learning process .

9. Evidence Based Teaching Strategies Most teachers care about their students’ results, and if you are reading this, you are undoubtedly one of them. Research shows that evidence based teaching strategies are likely to have the largest impact on student results. The Top 10 Evidence Based Teaching Strategies will help you discover the science of what works.

10. 1. Clear Lesson Goals It is crucial that you are clear about what you want your students to learn during each lesson. Clear lesson goals help you (and your students) to focus every other aspect of your lesson on what matters most

11. 2. Show & Tell Once you are clear about what you want your students to know and be able to do by the end of the lesson, you need to tell them what they need to know and show them how to do the tasks you want them to be able to do.

12. 3. Questioning to Check for Understa nding Techniques such as randomised sampling, student answer - boards and tell - a - friend help you to check for understanding before moving on from the show and tell part of your lesson while you can use other questioning techniques at different stages of your lesson.

13. 4. Summarise New Learning In A Graphical Way Graphic outlines include things such as mind maps, flow - charts and Venn diagrams. Discussing a graphical summary is a fantastic way to finish off your show and tell. You can then refer to it one more time at the end of your lesson.

14. 5. Plenty of Practice Practice helps students to retain the knowledge and skills that they have learned while also allowing you another opportunity to check for underst anding.

15. 6. Provide Your Students With Feedba ck Unlike praise, which focuses on the student rather than the task, feedback provides your students with a tangible understanding of what they did well, of where they are at, and of how they can impr ove

16. 7. Be Flexible About How Long It Takes to Learn When you adopt mastery learning, you differentiate in a different way. You keep your learning goals the same, but vary the time you give each child to succeed. Within the constraints of a crowded curriculum, this may be easier said than done; however, we can all do it to some degr ee.

17. 8. Get Students Working Together Group work is not new but productive group work is rare. To increase the productivity of your groups, you need to be selective about the tasks you assign to them and the individual role that each group member plays. You should only ask groups to do tasks that all group members can do success fully.

18. 9. Teach Strategies Not Just Content From assignments and studying, to characterisation , there are strategies underpinning the effective execution of many tasks that you ask students to perform in school. And, just as with content, you need to tell students about these strategies, to show them how to use them and to give them guided practice before asking them to use them indepen dently

19. Best Teaching Method The best teaching method is the one that your students respond to. A master teacher adjusts his or her methods and strategies in response to his or her students' ability to learn the material being presented. I can propose that direct instruction is best used when working with students below grade level

20. Princip les Principle 1: Encourage contact between students and faculty. For the regular classroom: 1) Invite students to visit outside of class. 2) Know your students by name. 3) Help students with problems in their extracurricular activities. 4) Personalize feedback on student assignments. 5) Attend student events. 6) Advise students regarding academic courses and career opportunities. 7) Seek out students you feel are having a problem with the course or are frequently abse nt. 8) Encourage students to present their views and participate in class discussions. 9) Have regular office hours. 10) Help students to work with other faculty. Let them know of options, research, etc. of other faculty. 11) Share personal experiences and values. 12) Use the one - minute paper at the end of class to get feedback on what the student is learning and how well they are learning it. 13) Talk to students on a personal level and learn about their educational and career go als

21. Principle 2: Develop reciprocity and cooperation among stud ents When students are encouraged to work as a team, more learning takes place. Characteristics of good learning are collaborative and social, not competitive and isolated. Working together improves thinking and understanding For the regular classroom: 1) Use cooperative learning groups 2)Have students participate in activities that encourage them to get to know one anot her. 3) Encourage students to join at least one organization on campus. 4) Assign group projects and presentations 5) Utilize peer tutoring. 6) Encourage students to participate in groups when preparing for exams and working on assignments. 7) Distribute performance criteria to students is that each person's grade is independent of those achieved by others. 8) Encourage students from different races and cultures to share their viewpoints on topics shared in class.

22. Principle 3: Encourage active learning. Learning is an active process. Students are not able to learn much by only sitting in classes listening to teachers, memorizing pre - packaged assignments, and churning out answers. They must be able to talk about what they are learning, write about it, relate it to past experiences, and apply it to their daily lives. Students need to make learning a part of themselves. For the regular classroom: 1) Ask students to relate what they are learning to something in real life. 2) Use journaling. 3)Give students concrete, real - life situations to analyze. 4)Encourage students to suggest new reading, projects, or course activities. 5)Ask students to present their work to the class.

23. Principle 4: Give prompt feedback. By knowing what you know and do not know gives a focus to learning. In order for students to benefit from courses, they need appropriate feedback on their performance. When starting out, students need help in evaluating their current knowledge and capabilities. Within the classroom, students need frequent opportunities to perform and receive suggestions for improvement. Throughout their time in college and especially at the end of their college career, students need chances to reflect on what they have learned, what they still need to know, and how to assess themselves.

24. Principle 5: Respect diverse talents and ways of learning. There are many different ways to learn and no two people learn the same way. Students bring different talents and learning styles to the classroom. Students that excel in the seminar room may be all thumbs in the lab or art studio and vice versa. Students need the opportunity to show their talents and learn in ways that work for them. Then, they can be guided into new ways of learning that are not as easy for them.
