Brainstorming

A creative technique in which group is given a problem and is asked to suggest as many
solutions as they can in a given time. This works best when there is a specific problem that
lends itself to many possible answers.

Buzzing or Buzz Session

Involves the group in a interchange of ideas on a topic or questions on which judgment


is sought.

Film Forum

A discussion before and after the viewing of an educational film is similar to the lecture
forum except that the films takes the place of a speaker.

Role Playing

A training technique consists of a dramatization which shows the emotional reactions


of the participants who are assuming an identity other than their own.

Simulation Games

Are scaled-down models of real life situations, problems or activities. The players
assume realistic roles and participate in discussions according to specific rules.

Springboard

Is a method in which materials are used on a topic intended to provoke or motivate the
learners into conducting an inquiry on the subject.

Lecture

Used extensively by technicians and subject matter specialists to present technical


information, develop background and appreciation and to integrate ideas.

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 trip

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.

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.

Technology in the classroom

Incorporating technology into your teaching is a great way to actively engage your
students, especially as digital media surrounds young people in the 21st century.

Interactive whiteboards or mobile devices can be used to display images and videos,
which helps students visualize new academic concepts. Learning can become more interactive
when technology is used as students can physically engage during lessons as well as instantly
research their ideas, which develops autonomy.

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.

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. It’s also a great excuse to get out of
the classroom and work alongside other teachers just like you!
