My teaching strategies.
- What teaching strategy or strategies did you choose for your lesson plan, and why will this be effective in your context?
• Scaffolding is effective in my context because it helps students learn step-by-step with guidance. Many students need support to build their understanding slowly, especially when the topic is new or difficult. This strategy gives them confidence as they move from simple to more complex tasks. - What activities have you found most effective for teaching the topic of your lesson?
• Breaking the lesson into small steps with clear instructions, using guided questions, and giving examples before asking students to try on their own are most effective. These help students understand better and feel supported. - What types of activities work best for this topic in your context?
• Demonstrations, guided practice, and using visual aids or charts work best. These activities help students follow along and learn at their own pace with teacher support. - Are there any teaching strategies you find useful that are not included in the list above?
• Yes, using peer support or pairing students to help each other is very useful. Sometimes students learn better from their classmates through peer scaffolding. - What advice or tips do you have for fellow teachers when selecting teaching strategies?
• Start with what students already know and build from there. Choose strategies that allow you to support students step-by-step and adjust your help as they improve. Always check for understanding before moving on to the next part of the lesson.
