Teaching Approach
Teaching by telling is an ineffective mode of instruction for most students.
Students must be intellectually active to develop a functional understanding. I use the interactive teaching approach in which I :
- Encourage student participation.
- Use questions that stimulate response, discussion and a hands-on experience.
- Use teaching aids that press for answers, and capture and hold the student’s attention.
