Effective teaching strategies are instructional strategies that are wellchosen for the present students, content and context, and implemented with a high level of skill and efficiency. The Four Aces of Effective Teaching Ace 1: Outcomes Outcomes enable students to focus their attention on clear learning goals. These outcomes inform students of where they are going and how they will get there. Outcomes also provide the teacher with a framework for designing and delivering the course content. Ace 2: Clarity The clarity of instruction is a must. When delivering instruction, nothing should be left to chance. If the students are not meeting teachers’ expectations, the teachers’ methods of delivery may lack the required degree of clarity. Ace 3: Engagement Engagement is a principle which suggests that students learn by doing. Accordingly, teachers must create a dynamic, educational environment that affords students the opportunity to practice every concept that they are learning. More effective teachers utilize instructional strategies that engage students repeatedly throughout the entire lesson. Ace 4: Enthusiasm As a straight forward as it may seem, "if you hate to teach it, your students will hate to learn it.” Conversely, if you love to teach it, your students may very well love to learn it. Enthusiasm is contagious. More effective teachers display a high level of enthusiasm that reflects their professional competence and confidence. Effective Teaching Strategies 1. Clear Lesson Goals It is an important that a teacher should clearly know about what the students learn during each lesson. Clear lesson goals help the teacher (and the students) to focus every aspect of lesson on what matters most. 2. Show and Tell The teacher should clearly know about what you want your students to know and be able to do by the end of the lesson, you need to tell them what they need to know and show them how to do the tasks you want them to be able to do 3. Questioning to Check the Understanding It is a techniques such as random sampling, student answer-boards and tell-a-friend. It helps the teacher to check the students’ understanding before moving on to the next material. Besides the show and tell, the teacher can use other questioning techniques at different stages of the lesson. 4. Summaries New Learning In a Graphical Way Graphic outlines include things such as mind maps, flow-charts and Venn diagrams. Discussing a graphical summary is a fantastic way to finish off the teachers show and tell. The teachers can refer to it one more time at the end of the lesson. 5. Plenty and Practice Practice helps students to retain the knowledge and skills that they have learned while also allowing the teacher to check the students’ understanding. 6. Provide Students with Feedback Unlike praise, which focuses on the student rather than the task, feedback provides your students with a tangible understanding of what they did well, of where they are at, and of how they can improve. 7. Be Flexible about How Long It Takes to Learn When the teachers adopt the mastery learning, they should differentiate in a different way. The teachers should keep the learning goals, but vary the time you give each child to success. 8. Get the Students’ Working Together Group work is a productive work. To increase the productivity of the students groups, the teachers need to be selective about the tasks which they assign to them and the individual role that each group member plays. 9. Teaching Strategies is not just a Content From assignments and studying, there are strategies which used by the teacher to perform in school. But, it is not just as a content, the teacher need to tell students about these strategies, to show them how to use the srtategies as and give them guided practice before asking them to use the strategies independently. 10. Visualization Bring 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 seat swith classroom experiments and local field trips. 11. Differentiation Differentiate the teachers’ 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. 12. Technology in the Classroom Incorporating technology into teachers’ 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.
