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. By using the right strategies, teachers can instill values of respect, empathy and cultural sensitivity into their classroom. They also use teaching methods to prepare students for standardized testing. Your classroom philosophies and principles can vary based on your preferences as a teacher, your school mission statement, your subject areas and other factors.
Here are some ways an educator may differentiate instruction:
Provide books or other materials at different reading levels.
Create custom spelling lists for students with different spelling skills.
Host small groups to provide tailored advice to students.
Offer one-on-one after-school help to students encountering challenges.
Discuss student progress and at-home educational strategies with parents.
Measure progress in different ways, through projects, portfolios and participation.
