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 there is a range of effective teaching strategies you can use to inspire your classroom practice like brainstorming, fun talk, hot seat, give one get one, four one corners, gallery walk, diamond nine fishbone, think pair share, debate, placemat, round table, focus group, fun wheel, peer partner and many more. Thus, it is important to know which techniques to apply.
