INTRODUCTION
Teaching as a profession is formally the job
of talented and trained people in the field of
education who are saddled with all pedagogical
principles and practices and mandate to ensure
the all-round development of the learners at
all levels of education. Teaching is a complex
process its' basic elements include objectives,
content, methodology, assessment (marking
reporting), the personality of the teacher and
the quality of the learner.

TEACHING
Teaching refers to all the processes and activitie
s designed to impart knowledge, skills and
understanding at all levels of education
from. Broadly and simply put, it is causing
people to learn. So, in the school condition if
the student has not learnt then the teacher has
not taught. So, teaching is the standard of
formal teacher - student interaction in which
learning is the main product. Essentially a
teacher guides the activities of the students in
order to produce learning. The guidance may be
direct or indirect, structured or unstructured.
Learning on the other hand, is the
process by which behaviour changes as a result o
f experience. So the test of learning is
behavioural changes or modifications that occur.

LOOK AT THESE EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE Live Lecture (Online or On campus). This
activity would be particularly relevant for
supporting student progress towards learning
outcomes with declarative knowledge.
EXAMPLE Assigned Reading/text. a unit with an ILO
that requires students to 'identify' might have
questions that highlight the relevant aspects, or
which require students to identify the key ideas
in a reading. For a unit with an ILO for
students to 'evaluate'
EXAMPLE Multimedia Content in MyLO. Use a MyLO
Content File (HTML) to pose one to four
questions, in text. Ask students to record their
responses in a linked, editable MyLO survey

STRATEGIES

Visualization
Bring dull academic concepts to life with visual
and practical learning experiences, helping your
students to understand how their schooling
applies in the real-world.Examples include using
the interactive whiteboard to display photos,
audio clips and videos, as well as encouraging
your students to get out of their seats with
classroom experiments and local field trips.
9
Cooperative learning
Encourage students of mixed abilities to work
together by promoting small group or whole class
activities.Through verbally expressing their
ideas and responding to others your students
will develop their self-confidence, as well as
enhance their communication and critical
thinking skills which are vital throughout
life.Solving mathematical puzzles, conducting
scientific experiments and acting out short drama
sketches are just a few examples of how
cooperative learning can be incorporated into
classroom lessons.
10
Differentiation
Differentiate your teaching by allocating tasks
based on students abilities, to ensure no one
gets left behind.Assigning classroom activities
according to students unique learning needs
means individuals with higher academic
capabilities are stretched and those who are
struggling get the appropriate support..
11
Pose thought-provoking questions which inspire
your students to think for themselves and become
more independent learners.Encouraging students to
ask questions and investigate their own ideas
helps improve their problem-solving skills as
well as gain a deeper understanding of academic
concepts.
Inquiry-based instruction
12
Behaviour management
Implementing an effective behaviour management
strategy is crucial to gain your students
respect and ensure students have an equal chance
of reaching their full potential.Noisy,
disruptive classrooms do no encourage a
productive learning environment, therefore
developing an atmosphere of mutual respect
through a combination of discipline and reward
can be beneficial for both you and your students..
13
Professional development
Engaging in regular professional development
programmes is a great way to enhance teaching
and learning in your classroom.With educational
policies constantly changing it is extremely
useful to attend events where you can gain
inspiration from other teachers and academics.
Its also a great excuse to get out of the
classroom and work alongside other teachers just
like you!Sessions can include learning about new
educational technologies, online safety
training, advice on how to use your teaching
assistant(s) and much more.
14
CONCLUSION
The classroom is a dynamic environment, bringing
together students from different backgrounds
with various abilities and personalities. Being
an effective teacher therefore requires the
implementation of creative and innovative
teaching strategies in order to meet students
individual needs.Whether youve been teaching
two months or twenty years, it can be difficult
to know which teaching strategies will work best
with your students. As a teacher there is no
one size fits all solution, so here is a range
of effective teaching strategies you can use to
inspire your classroom practice.
