I hold a Middle School Teaching Diploma since 2011 and attained the High School Teaching threshold in 2018. Below is a summary of my best teaching practices over the year that have yielded enviable results.
Lesson Planning: My lessons are typically designed, with very clear learning objectives and expected feedback. My lesson plan conforms to the national curriculum and the requirement of my audience. My lessons are tailored to meet the diverse needs of my students.
Adaptable teaching methods: The teaching method(s) I use incorporates interactive activities involving group work, problem solving sessions geared towards enhancing the level of understanding. It is a rule to often give learners the opportunity to ask questions, provide answers to questions in order to foster critical thinking and a deeper understanding of scientific principles.
Application of IT: The use of digital tools and resources such as educational software are most often used to enhance learning.
Practical Experiments: Hands-on experimentation and demonstration are crucial in the teaching of sciences. They are designed to facilitate the understanding of theoretical concepts by seeing in action. My lessons are also designed to incorporate lots of real-world applications, including current scientific advancements. This makes the teaching more relevant and interesting to my learners.
My students are assessed through formative assessments, quizzes, exams. This is required to track the students’ progress and identify areas for improvement.
