When working with children and teenagers, it can be hard to retain focus, manage behaviour, and encourage active participation. In addition, teaching adults can have its own challenges – it can be difficult for adult learners to absorb new things and change old thinking patterns.
One thing I use to help deal with some of these challenges by using different teaching techniques. I don’t need to pick one method and stick to it, I have seen that certain methods and styles are perfect for different learning environments.
For example, I might find that student-centred learning is perfect for KS2 children, and game-based learning works wonders for KS3. I may discover that using technology such as VR can elevate history and geography lessons, while experiential learning methods it can be effective during science experiments and group projects.
