The LVS classrooms have 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.
As a teacher there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution, so here is a range of effective teaching strategies that has been implemented at LVS.
We focus on the fundamental life skills by employing an amalgamation and integration of a wide range of subjects and teaching methods into our curriculum and beat the monotony of the traditional learning process which makes it fun to learn.
We ensure to consolidate Environmental Education in our formal pedagogy, thus promoting sustainable development for our future generations to come. It facilitates the development of skills for transformative learning, critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and understanding interlinkages between sustainable development goals.
We believe in minimizing the role of the educator in the learning process, which inculcates in the student the invaluable skill of independence. This in turn enhances their critical thinking and problem-solving faculties and helps them become self-reliant, thus making them ready to face the challenges of tomorrow.
We bring dull academic concepts to life with visual and practical learning experiences, helping our 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 our students to get out of their seats with classroom experiments and local field trips.
We encourage students of mixed abilities to work together by promoting small group or whole class activities.
We pose thought-provoking questions which inspire our students to think for themselves and become more independent learners and also 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.
We differentiate our teaching by allocating tasks based on students’ abilities, to ensure no one feels 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.
LVS incorporates technology into our teaching and is a great way to actively engage our 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 help 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.
