Most teachers care about their students’ results, and if you are reading this,
you are undoubtedly one of them. Research shows that evidence based
teaching strategies are likely to have the largest impact on student results. The
Top 10 Evidence Based Teaching Strategies will help you discover the science
of what works.

1. Clear Lesson Goals


It is crucial that you are clear about what you want your students to learn
during each lesson. Clear lesson goals help you (and your students) to focus
every other aspect of your lesson on what matters most.

2. Show & Tell


Once you are clear 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 for Understanding


Techniques such as randomised sampling, student answer-boards and tell-a-
friend help you to check for understanding before moving on from the show
and tell part of your lesson while you can use other questioning techniques at
different stages of your lesson.

4. Summarise 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 your
show and tell. You can then refer to it one more time at the end of your
lesson.

5. Plenty of Practice
Practice helps students to retain the knowledge and skills that they have
learned while also allowing you another opportunity to check for
understanding.

6. Provide Your 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 you adopt mastery learning, you differentiate in a different way. You
keep your learning goals the same, but vary the time you give each child to
succeed. Within the constraints of a crowded curriculum, this may be easier
said than done; however, we can all do it to some degree.

8. Get Students Working Together


Group work is not new but productive group work is rare. To increase the
productivity of your groups, you need to be selective about the tasks you
assign to them and the individual role that each group member plays. You
should only ask groups to do tasks that all group members can do
successfully.

 
9. Teach Strategies Not Just Content
From assignments and studying, to characterisation, there are strategies
underpinning the effective execution of many tasks that you ask students to
perform in school. And, just as with content, you need to tell students about
these strategies, to show them how to use them and to give them guided
practice before asking them to use them independently.

10. Nurture Meta-Cognition


Meta-cognition involves thinking about your options, your choices and your
results – and it has an even larger effect on student results than teaching
strategies. When using meta-cognition your students may think about what
strategies they could use before choosing one, and they may think about how
effective their choice was (after reflecting on their success or lack thereof)
before continuing with or changing their chosen strategy.

Differentiated Instruction and Adaptive Learning Infographic

Differentiation means tailoring instruction to meet individual needs. There is a


wide variety of reasons that make differentiated instruction a necessity in the
teaching pedagogy. The Differentiated Instruction and Adaptive Learning
Infographic provides an overview of what differentiated instruction is all about
and sheds some light on key concepts related to this instructional method. It
also shows ways new adaptive learning technology can help teachers
differentiate their instruction.

Aims of Differentiated Instruction

Differentiated instruction aims to:

 inspire a love of learning


 increase engagement
 improve learning outcomes
 help students learn more efficiently and with deeper understanding
 increase self-awareness
Why Differentiated Instruction?

Classrooms are filled with students who:

 have differential needs


 come from different educational backgrounds
 have different attention spans
 have different language abilities
 have different cultural backgrounds
Differentiated Instruction in Schools

Hardworking teachers today are differentiating instruction according to factors


such as:

 what they know already


 what they need to learn
 engagement level
 personal and course goals
 learning patterns
 strengths
 weaknesses
The process is beneficial to students but difficult and time-consuming for
teachers. How many personalized course packets, projects, and reading lists
can one teacher make?

Differentiated Instruction at Scale

Adaptive learning technology can augment teachers' work by:

 recommending which concepts to focus on with a learner or an entire class


 providing instructors, parents and learners themselves with information
about their concept-level strengths and weaknesses
 determining how well different instruction and assessment content works
for different students
 helping instructors zero in on learners who are struggling, inactive, or
moving ahead
Technology enhanced differentiated instruction can be highly effective,
ensuring that students are learning the most at any given point, freeing up
more classroom time for:

 discussions and debates


 one-on-one coaching
 research and creative projects
 group work and collaboration
 metacognitive exercises
 labs and field trips
 cross disciplinary activities

Teaching Strategies for the Remote Classroom

by Suzanne Capek Tingley, Veteran Educator, M.A. Degree


Your students are all wired up to engage and learn with you online!

The first time I signed up to teach an online English course, I thought it would be easy. I
figured I'd just teach the same content the same way I always did. The only difference
would be that the kids were in other schools; I simply wouldn't be able to see them as I
was teaching them.

Further Reading: Choosing Your Best Medium for Lesson Planning and Grades

The joke was on me—and, unfortunately, on my first students. My classroom teaching


strategies didn't adapt well to the distance, so I wasn't able to give my students my best.
As it turns out, engaging students who are miles away necessitates a new set of teaching
strategies.

Whether you teach online or you're considering it, here are some teaching strategies that
will help you engage kids in the remote classroom.

1. Establish your presence right away. Welcome your students to the learning


community. Tell them something about yourself—your background, your
interests, a book you're currently reading. Describe what the course is about and
what you hope students will learn. Establishing a community early on will help
students feel welcome.
2. Be available. "High-touch is more important than high-tech," says online teacher
Joanna Dunlap, assistant director of teacher effectiveness at the University of
Colorado's Center for Faculty Development, in an Educause video. She
encourages her students to call her if they need immediate advice. "If a student is
in crisis or needs to brainstorm an idea," she says, "I want to be efficient." She
admits that using the phone is low-tech but argues that it doesn't matter—all
tech, she says, can be useful for online courses. Scott Cooper, writing for the
website eLearning Industry, recommends telling students when you'll be visible
and available, but he also advises that you establish a way students can contact
you outside of those hours. He also recommends engaging with your students
through online posts, forums, or social media. It's easy to come across as absent
online, but good communication helps students see that you value their
engagement.
3. Use online resources. There is a ton of material online, says Patrick Lowenthal,
professor of instructional design at Boise State University, in the Educause video,
and you can lean on those resources. He stresses that it's important to help kids
understand how to determine which sources are valid and trustworthy—and
which aren't.
4. Don't lecture. Dunlap says that as she's grown more experienced as an online
teacher, she's grown more comfortable being a little playful and surprising
students with a quick video clip or an anecdote. Plugging in a story, a picture, or a
little humor can liven up your lesson, she says. Expecting the unexpected keeps
kids engaged and appreciative of their teacher's efforts.
5. Make your assignments clear. Students can find accessing and understanding
assignments and notes online confusing, so make it easy for them to know what
they have to do each week, when the work is due, and how much it counts
toward their final grade.
6. Provide ongoing feedback. Feedback is important in every classroom, but when
you're teaching online, it's another way to establish that personal connection
with your students. Cooper says that offering constructive feedback regularly
helps students quickly identify behaviors or skills they need to improve and also
makes them feel like they're part of the learning community. Cooper also
recommends creating an open forum or discussion board so that students can
support and mentor each other.

Students taking online classes need to feel connected to the class, the teacher, and their
classmates—not just to learn but to enjoy the experience.
Applying e-Learning Strategies to the Traditional Classroom
Teaching online has helped me develop new strategies for the traditional classroom.
Nowadays, I try to avoid lectures and include stories, pictures, examples, and anecdotes
to foster meaningful engagement with my students. I've also created a series of 20-minute
training videos for teachers, each installment focusing on a particular strategy, such as
how to check for student understanding, how to give clear directions, and how to handle a
disruptive student.

The key to using online strategies in any classroom, Dunlap says, is to choose what you
want to teach and then add the technology—not the other way around. Letting students
know a little about yourself, using stories and anecdotes, and being clear about
assignments aren't just good for online learners—students in traditional classrooms
appreciate these things, too. Adopting these strategies will help you create a positive
environment in your classroom—whether it's in person or virtual.

Engaging Students Is Key


As you get started with online teaching, just remember that the first and last thing you
need to do is to keep your students engaged. Teaching online required me to rethink not
only how I presented the course material but how I presented myself as a teacher. When
teachers can't look at their students' faces or read their body language, it's tempting for
them to focus only on the content and ignore whether students are engaging with the
material.
7 Effective Teaching Strategies
For The Classroom
https://www.quizalize.com/blog/2018/02/23/teaching-strategies/

The classroom is a dynamic environment, bringing together students


from different backgrounds with various abilities and personalities.
Being an effective teacher therefore requires the implementation of
creative and innovative teaching strategies in order to meet students’
individual needs.

Whether you’ve been teaching two months or twenty years, it can be


difficult to know which teaching strategies will work best with your
students. As a teacher there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution, so here is a
range of effective teaching strategies you can use to inspire your
classroom practice.

1. Visualization

Bring d ull 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 trips.

2. 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.

Solving mathematical puzzles, conducting scientific experiments and acting


out short drama sketches are just a few examples of how cooperative
learning can be incorporated into classroom lessons.
3. Inquiry-based instruction
Pose thought-provoking questions which inspire your students
to think for themselves and become more independent learners.
Encouraging students to ask questions and investigate their own ideas
helps improve their problem-solving skills as well as gain a deeper
understanding of academic concepts. Both of which are important life
skills.

Inquiries can be science or math-based such as ‘why does my shadow


change size?’ or ‘is the sum of two odd numbers always an even
number?’. However, they can also be subjective and encourage students
to express their unique views, e.g. ‘do poems have to rhyme?’ or ‘should
all students wear uniform?’.

4. 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.

This can involve handing out worksheets that vary in complexity to


different groups of students, or setting up a range of work stations around
the classroom which contain an assortment of tasks for students to
choose from.
Moreover, using an educational tool such as Quizalize can save you hours
of time because it automatically groups your students for you, so you can
easily identify individual and whole class learning gaps.

5. 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.

Mobile devices, such as iPads and/or tablets, can be used in the


classroom for students to record results, take photos/videos  or simply as
a behaviour management technique. Plus, incorporating educational
programmes such as Quizalize into your lesson plans is also a great way
to make formative assessments fun and engaging.

6. 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.

Examples include fun and interactive reward charts for younger students,


where individuals move up or down based on behaviour with the top
student receiving a prize at the end of the week. ‘Golden time’ can also
work for students of all ages, with a choice of various activities such as
games or no homework in reward for their hard work.

7. 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!

Sessions can include learning about new educational technologies, online


safety training, advice on how to use your teaching assistant(s) and much
more.
Being an effective teacher is a challenge because every student is unique,
however, by using a combination of teaching strategies you can address
students’ varying learning styles and academic capabilities as well as
make your classroom a dynamic and motivational environment for
students.
10 effective teaching strategies for every classroom
https://www.classcraft.com/blog/effective-teaching-strategies-for-every-classroom/

Many teaching strategies work for any classroom, no matter what the age of the
students or the subject. When a teacher implements a combination of effective teaching
strategies, their students have more opportunities to perform better in class.

There are many different approaches you can use in your classroom. Which ones will
work best depends on your and your students’ preferences, as well as your schedule.
Let’s take a look at some of the best strategies you can employ.

10 effective teaching practices you can use right now


1. Model as you teach

When presenting a new subject to your class, it helps to include a demonstration. While
some students will be able to grasp a new concept by hearing the information alone,
others — particularly visual learners — will need to see it.

In certain classes, this is practically required. For example, when you’re teaching a math
unit, you’ll usually need to display your work on the board, or else your students will be
completely lost. This is how the class can follow along with better comprehension.

Some students will need to see more than one example to get a good understanding.
Make sure that you include several different demonstrations for each new unit, as
repetition is a big part of committing new ideas to memory. You’ll see a big difference in
visual students’ test scores when you implement this method.

2. Make mistakes

Teachers are the ultimate resource for students when it comes to learning. When you
are presenting your lesson plans, you usually show the right way to do things. This is a
great way to introduce a concept, but you also want to solicit a more in-depth
understanding.

A great way to do this is to make intentional mistakes and ask the class to fix them. If
you’re an English teacher, you can write an excerpt on the board and riddle it with
grammar mistakes. Instruct your students to identify these mistakes and rewrite the
passage correctly.
This method requires kids to apply the knowledge they’ve gained in class. It also gives
you a chance to evaluate how well each student comprehends the subject.

Once everyone has completed the assignment, you can review it as a class. Show each
student how the passage should be written and address any questions that may arise.

3. Work as a team

Splitting the class up into different teams to complete an assignment is a teaching


strategy that works wonders, especially at age groups where students insist on always
working with their tight-knit circle of friends. Group assignments encourage teamwork
and help your class to succeed.

For instance, in science, you can split the class into small groups for lab-based
assignments and give each person a certain job to complete. You might have one person
perform the experiment, another write notes, and someone else read instructions, for
example. 

Make sure to pair children who need extra support with those who have a better
understanding of the material. This way, those who are stronger in the subject can share
their knowledge to help their peers understand it better.

All in all, group work is a fun and interactive way to teach a lesson. 

4. Encourage learning from experience

The best lessons often happen outside of the classroom. Getting out into the real world
offers a new perspective for children and can help them gain a more profound
understanding of what goes on in the classroom.

Studying the different types of fish in a local pond is an excellent example of learning
from experience. You would start in class, going over the different species and how each
animal contributes to the environment around it.

Once you’ve completed the lesson, take the class to the local pond. Have them search
for the different animals you discussed in class. After locating each animal, they will be
able to observe the roles discussed earlier in class.
Field trips like this offer valuable, real-world experiences to students. They’ll gain
confidence and motivation in class since they will be able to see that everything they
learn has a connection to the world around them.

5. Let the students teach

Letting students lead the class in teaching requires preparation and a deep
understanding of coursework. You can assign this task individually or break up students
into groups.

The goal of this strategy is to get your students to display the knowledge they have and
to share it with their classmates. In order to give a quality lesson, they will need to put
extra time into making sure they fully comprehend the project. If they struggle in some
areas, they will be motivated to ask questions in order to get the grade.

You can help students prepare for this assignment by offering a rubric that outlines the
areas in which they’ll be graded. You might give points based on lesson length,
preparation, and creativity. The weight of each section will depend on the project and
your preferences. Some teachers also allow the class to grade a section of the
assignment. If you choose to go this route, it can be helpful to pass out a scoring guide to
the class. This way, each student knows how to grade the “teacher.”

6. Integrate technology into the classroom

Technology is perhaps the most powerful tool you have at your disposal. It’s an essential
part of modern jobs and has a lot to offer in the way of education.

Computers, laptops, and tablets can allow you to enhance your lesson plans with online
educational activities. There are several free resources that you can access with a simple
Google search. Try looking up educational videos or playing free math and science
games.

Your students will not only enjoy the time they spend online but also gain a deeper
understanding of your classwork. Use all the resources you have at your disposal to your
advantage — you’ll have a more engaged and motivated group of students as a result.

7. Try graphic organizers

Graphic organizers such as pie charts and Venn diagrams are a great way to display
information visually. When you ask your class to create one, your students will have to
apply their knowledge in a visual way. This will also help them form connections and
understand similarities and differences.

8. Emphasize behavior management

Behavior management is a big part of being a teacher. Teaching strategies often give you
plenty of structure regarding how to teach a class, but not how to control it. If you are
experiencing some behavioral problems in class, programs like Classcraft can help.

Built by a teacher, Classcraft blends games and storytelling to motivate students and
make learning more fun. Included in its many features is the ability to deliver teacher-
designed curriculum in the form of games and Quests; a choose-your-own-adventure.
With this game, teachers can align the objectives with the desired behavior in class. For
example, if you want to solicit higher grades on homework, you can offer experience
(XP) rewards within the game.

With XP, students can level up their character and acquire new accessories and abilities.
This incentivizes the positive behavior you are looking for. If you’d like, you can also
discourage negative behaviors by locking students out of the game or taking away XP
points.
This method is a great way to get students excited about doing well in class. It makes
following the rules fun and solicits long-term behavioral improvement for many students.
Teachers can also let their students play the quests at their own pace, so no one feels
left behind or forgotten and teachers can easily give students extra support.

9. Utilize visual aids

Visual aids such as smartboards and projectors can ramp up your lesson in class. Some
children can absorb information and have a deep understanding of it from hearing a
lecture alone. Others are visual learners and need a little something more.

Since you need to appeal to those learners as well, a visual guide will be your best friend.
Try displaying informative graphics that relate to your lesson on the board or projector.
Reference these illustrations as you speak to allow everyone in your class to get what
they need out of the lesson.

10. Implement inquiry-based learning

Inquiry-based learning is a technique used to appeal to your students’ curiosity.


Implementing it in the classroom means allowing the students to identify questions that
interest them and to explore those questions in an educational setting.

Once your students have identified a topic of interest, they’ll need to research their
chosen subject and deliver a presentation to the class. You must be there to offer
support, such as by helping your students identify reliable online sources for research.

After the presentation is over, ask your students to reflect on the project as a whole. You
want them to evaluate what went well, what didn’t, and what could be done differently
in the future. Moreover, you want your students to focus on not only what they learned
but also how they learned it. This builds independent, confident learners who have a
clearer path to success.
Classroom teaching strategies and
techniques
https://www.prodigygame.com/main-en/
blog/teaching-strategies/
1. Classroom management strategies

According to research from 2006, teachers overwhelmingly reported a lack of


professional development support when it came to improving their own classroom
management strategies. This can lead to confusion for students and frustration for
teachers.

When students clearly understand what’s expected of them, they’re more likely to be
focused and engaged with their lessons. Some tips for building a positive environment
include:

 Model ideal behaviour: Clearly explain proper behaviour, and then follow it


yourself.
 Encourage initiative: Allow students to actively participate in the learning process
with class discussions and exercises that support the initiative.
 Avoid collective punishment: While it can be difficult, make a point of calling out
disruptive behaviours on an individual, not collective, basis.

Management Strategies and Techniques [+Downloadable List].
2. Flexible seating
Kristine Fourman, a teacher in the Bucyrus Elementary Preschool Program, connects
student seating and academics: “When students aren’t trying to hold themselves still in
their chairs, they can integrate auditory, visual and tactile systems of the body.”

There are so many different ways to incorporate flexible seating into your classroom in a
way that fits with your students’ learning goals. For examples and best practices,
read Flexible Seating: 21 Awesome Ideas for Your Classroom.

3. Webb's Depth of Knowledge


Norman Webb’s Depth of Knowledge (DoK)is familiar to many teachers from a
theoretical perspective, but it can be incredibly difficult to apply practically and
consistently in your teaching strategies.

There are four DoK levels:

 Level one: Recollection and reproduction


 Level two: Knowledge application
 Level three: Strategic thinking
 Level four: Extended critical thinking

There are a number of engaging activities that can promote different DoK levels: read
more about them in Specific Ways to Use Webb’s Depth of Knowledge in Class.

4. Summative assessment
Summative assessments are end-of-unit tests, final projects or standardized tests used
to assess student understanding on a broad and absolute level.
Critics of summative assessments say they’re inauthentic and don’t accurately reflect the
learning process. But there are important benefits to using summative assessments as a
teaching strategy: they motivate students to pay attention and challenges them to apply
their learning. They’re also a valuable source of insight for teachers, especially for those
with larger classes -- allowing them to easily identify and correct any wide gaps in
understanding across the classroom.

Don’t be afraid to get creative when making summative assessments! Read Summative


Assessment: A Comprehensive Guide for ideas on how to get students engaged with the
testing process.

5. Formative assessment
Formative assessments are the opposite of summative assessments because they take
place during the teaching process.

Formative Assessment

 Occurs through chapter or unit


 Improves how students learn
 Covers small content areas
 Monitors how students are learning
 Focuses on process of student learning

Summative Assessment

 Occurs at end of chapter or unit


 Evaluates what students learn
 Covers complete content areas
 Assigns a grade to students’ understanding
 Emphasizes the product of student learning
Formative assessments are a can reduce student stress around testing. They give you the
chance to course correct mid-unit if there are serious comprehension issues and to see
which students might need a bit more one-on-one time.

Some examples of formative assessment techniques include:

 Think-pair-share
 Entry and exit tickets
 Self-evaluation techniques

For more examples and ideas, read 20 Formative Assessment Examples to Try
[+Downloadable List].

6. Active learning
Put students at the center of the classroom with active learning strategies -- a teaching
technique that increases student engagement in daily lessons. According to active
learning advocate James Ballencia, the technique can also help teachers as much as it
helps students:

“With the goal of teaching mindful learners who actively pursue knowledge, teachers
become more actively engaged in how they teach the curriculum and how they
develop each student’s learning potential. They mix and match a variety of … tactics
to ensure that students not only learn more, better, and faster -- they also learn
smarter.”

Some active learning strategies include:

 Reciprocal questioning: Have students come up with questions for the class on a


recent lesson or concept.
 The pause procedure: Take a break every 10 to 15 minutes so that students have
time to discuss, ask questions or solve problems.
 Muddiest point: Ask students to write down which point in the lesson is the least
clear to them.

7. Differentiated instruction
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rumHfC1XQtc

Differentiated instruction is a popular and effective teaching strategy that involves


reacting to the diverse learning styles in every classroom with adjusted content and
processes.

Carol Ann Tomlinson, a reputable thought leader on differentiated instruction,


recommends analyzing teaching strategies on a constant basis to respond to needs:

“Frequently reflect on the match between your classroom and the philosophy of teaching
and learning you want to practice. Look for matches and mismatches, and use both to
guide you.”

Strategies like learning stations and the think-pair-share method are small ways that you
can bring unique learning experiences to your students.

For more differentiated instruction ideas, read 20 Differentiated Instruction Strategies


and Examples [+ Downloadable List].
8. Personalized learning
No two students are exactly alike. That’s why personalized learning builds a learning
experience that addresses the unique abilities of each student.

According to a study by the Gates Foundation, personalized learning can improve test


scores when used to supplement math class:

“Students attending [schools using personalized learning] made gains in math and
reading over the last two years that are significantly greater than a virtual control
group made up of similar students selected from comparable schools.”

Personalized learning allows students to learn without stigma and gets students involved
in what they’re learning.

Universal design for learning (UDL) is an educational framework that ensures all
students have equal access to education. Use it in your classroom to give unique students
flexible ways to learn and become more goal-oriented.

Some best practices for UDL:

 Know the strengths and weaknesses of your students


 Provide flexible classrooms
 Adapt information for multilingual students

UDL gives all students an impactful learning experience and helps teachers focus their
efforts on students who need it most. For more information on how to make sure all your
students succeed, read Universal Design for Learning: Principles and Examples for
2019.

10. Response to intervention


Response to intervention (RTI) focuses on early and continuous identification,
assessment and assistance for students who have learning or behaviour needs. It’s best
used as part of a more general classroom management plan, and involves small-group or
individual intervention that quickly addresses trouble spots.

The most effective RTI strategies are proactive. Start with everyday teaching and move
to targeted intervention as soon as you spot a problem. When you’re prepared to move
quickly, you’re more likely to be able to develop a tailored and effective learning plan.
