Effective And Ineffective Teaching Strategies

Often educational Institutions face many challenges that may greatly impact an institution’s structure. The areas of concern include increasing enrollments, looming budget cuts, expanding distance learning opportunities, and responding to increasing demands for accountability. To resolve such issues, it is vital for organizations to endeavor towards change and purposefully plan with both efficacy and resiliency in mind. This can be accomplished by identifying effective/ineffective instructional resources, engage in strategic planning, and executing innovative research-based instructional initiatives.

Albert Einstein once said, “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken creative expression and knowledge.” In this one quote, we find that teaching is so much more than meets the eye. We must do those things the outside world sees well to reach students at that deeper level. As teachers, we have a great opportunity to reach students and help them to recognize their potential. To do so, we need to recognize our own potential and the power we possess as we educate our future leaders. With such malleable minds coming in and out of our classroom, it is important that we distinguish between our strengths and weaknesses. We need to know our strengths so that we know which ways we are best reaching our students. These strong areas can also be used to help strengthen other educators in these places as well. It is also vital we can see our the areas in which we ourselves are weak. In all areas of life, there are places in which we can and need to improve. Being teachers, we need to be aware of these areas so that we can work on improving them. As we do this, we are bettering our students because in some way we are bettering their education. This also gives us the opportunity to recognize other areas that need improvement. We should always be in a cycle of recognizing and improving areas of our teaching. It should be noted that while we should be analytical of ourselves, we should not be over-critical of ourselves. I have identified both strengths and weaknesses in my life that will affect my teaching.

Shanahan (2011) makes an excellent point that for each discipline there should be a different way of ensuring that learning is taking place. Not all disciplines are the same, so their approaches should be different as well. If students struggle with history they may also struggle with English if they are taught the same way. Learning goals and strategies vary by class and so should teaching method and delivery. The points in this article should be taken into consideration when teachers create lesson plans.
