My teaching methods
I have been trying to be a best teacher and for achieving this I opt a lot of techniques and methods. I realized in the light of experience that the following methods can be some of the most useful for students learning and understanding easily:
Discussions with students: I admit that I do enjoy being the "sage on the stage" in my classroom, but I realize that this does little to engage my students in deep thinking. I want my students to be at the center of their learning. Previously, when we read a book or short story, I'd ask questions to the whole class. Inevitably, the same five or six students would answer the questions, and I'd assume everyone understood. Now, I create small groups of three or four students, and they answer the questions in those small groups first, ensuring all students have an opportunity to participate.
Connection with real-life: It is absolutely essential that the teaching methods you use help students make connections to their learning. Real-life connections make learning interesting and relevant for students.
Focus on reading: I'm always trying to improve my students' reading. Providing students with reading material that interests them and helps them to understand the joys of reading for pleasure. I make sure my classroom is well-stocked with books I know young adults enjoy.
Collaborative learning: Collaboration and cooperation are often included in the best teaching strategies for multiple reasons. First, when you have one student who is strong in math and another who is strong in English, you can pair the two to help each other with their respective stronger subjects. This kind of collaboration also helps student gain real-world skills that will equip them for the working world – skills like learning to work together as a team and how to manage their time effectively.
