• Teaching methods are ways to instruct students in a classroom, helping them to understand and remember what they've learned
• Teaching methods are opportunities to make learning engaging, inspiring and fun for students. They aid teachers in fulfilling the responsibility of guiding the social and emotional development of children
• Differentiated instruction


  • Creating tailored education plans for students based on differing needs
  • May involve the ways by which students access content, the activities they do, the assessment techniques a teacher uses or even the physical setup of a classroom
• As all people have varying abilities and talents, it's beneficial for a teacher to adapt their teaching styles to unique students. This is also a key step in supporting students with disabilities in the classroom and ensuring they feel welcome and comfortable in academic environments
• Lecture-based learning


  • Teachers explain information while students observe
  • Students can listen, watch, take notes and copy the teacher's demonstrations
• While this is a conventional and helpful approach, teachers may alter it for different learning environments
• Ways to ensure the success of lecture-based learning


  1. Keep lessons brief

  2. Allow time for questions

  3. Create instructional videos

  4. Use visual cues

  5. Promote handwritten notes
• Flipped classroom


  Approach where teachers encourage students to watch lectures or instructional videos at home and complete assignments in class
• Technology-based learning


  • Teachers can use technology in the classroom to make teaching processes more efficient and aid in student learning
  • Students can use devices like computers and tablets to read materials, conduct research or play educational games
  • Cloud computing capabilities make it possible for students to access documents or other resources while at school or at home
• Group learning


  • Segmenting students into groups is a great way to teach them skills in collaboration
  • Students can discuss subjects and learn about the perspectives of others
  • Teachers can assign group presentations so students can convey information to the rest of the class, ask and answer questions and interact with each other
• Individual learning


  • Assigning journal entries can be an excellent way to give students time to think through topics and develop thoughts and analyses
  • This is especially helpful before hosting a class discussion so class members can have ideas for what to say
  • Teachers can read writing assignments to reward points to students who can't participate vocally in class
• Inquiry-based learning


  • Promotes the idea of learning by investigation, where students can complete projects, ask questions and find answers by themselves
  • Upon learning about concepts, they can explain and present the concepts in their own words to further enforce them in their memories
  • Students can advance to higher levels at their own pace
• Kinesthetic learning


  • Teachers can move around the classroom and use hand gestures while they present to engage students visually and kinesthetically
  • Students can perform physical activities where they can move around and use their creativity
  • Drawing
  • Acting
  • Building
  • Playing
• Game-based learning


  • Developing and implementing educational games or challenges, whether in-person or online
  • Can inspire children, especially kinesthetic learners, to participate more fully in the learning process and keep them motivated and focused on lessons
  • Can allow them the opportunity to solve problems and reach a goal
• Expeditionary learning


  • The process of learning through participating in practical experiences
  • These can be projects, case studies or lab experiments in the classroom or field trips to places around your school and community
  • Encourages students to apply classroom knowledge and skills to the real world
  • Can help them comprehend the purpose of their efforts and return to schoolwork with enthusiasm
