Doesn&#8217;t this sound familiar? Maybe this reminded you of a college class from which you took away nothing more than a skill to pretend to stay awake in a dull and dry lecture. Probably your teacher never cared to implement innovative teaching strategies and methods to keep you interested.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>It was your student life. You passed through it dodging those lectures or sometimes bringing your pretense game alive. But now you are on the other side of the fence &#8211; either as a teacher or heading towards becoming one.

Few are &#8211;<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reciprocal Questioning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Divide the students into groups and ask them to come up with questions related to the topic covered. They ask as many questions as they can and the other groups answer those questions. Each group takes turns asking their own questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Pause Procedure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Break the lecture into parts with small breaks in between. Ask the students to jot down the doubts during the breaks and then discuss them with peers.<\/p>\n\n<p>The pause procedure is a proven way to increase productivity both of the teacher as well as of the students.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Muddiest Point Technique<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Ask the students to write down the muddiest point, i.e. the most unclear point from the taught topic. This exercise helps them reflect upon their understanding of the lesson.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Devil\u2019s Advocate Approach<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Divide the class into two and assign an argumentative topic for discussion for and against it. This helps develop a wider lens for viewing a topic.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Peer Teaching Activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Ask the students to instruct their classmates as a teacher would do.

Students listen to the videos from home at their own pace. In the classroom, they perform several exercises and activities related to the lesson.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>Several surveys show that flipped activities result in a better outcome by the students as they learn at their own pace, and get a chance to do one-to-one interaction with teachers and students through online chats.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-gamification\" class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">4.

Some prominent ones are &#8211;<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Having education apps up and running<\/li>\n<li>Following some official learning sites for teaching and studying<\/li>\n<li>Having e-learning software\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Video conferencing of teachers and students<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h1 id=\"h-eleven\" class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u00a0<\/h1>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-culturally-inclusive-teaching\" class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">11.

As a teacher, start by knowing your students, their cultural background, and about brief information of their culture. Then try to link your study content with their culture through examples and exercise. This way they learn better.<\/p>\n\n<p>You can also invite guest teachers from different backgrounds to take some sessions for your students. A study shows that having educators from the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0272775715000084\"> same cultural background<\/a> leaves a better knowledge footprint on students\u2019 minds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<h1 id=\"h-twelve\" class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">\u00a0<\/h1>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-service-learning\" class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">12.

Students learn about being active and responsible citizens.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>Every week or month, have a societal theme for your students and give them activities related to it.
