According to research from 2006, teachers overwhelmingly reported a lack of professional development support when it came to improving their own classroom management strategies. This can lead to confusion for students and frustration for teachers.

When students clearly understand what’s expected of them, they’re more likely to be focused and engaged with their lessons.

2. Summative Assessment

Summative assessments are end-of-unit tests, final projects, or standardized tests used to assess student understanding on a broad and absolute level. There are important benefits to using summative assessments as a teaching strategy: they motivate students to pay attention and challenge them to apply their learning. They’re also a valuable source of insight for teachers, especially for those with larger classes; allowing them to easily identify and correct any wide gaps in understanding across the classroom.

Formative assessments are the opposite of summative assessments because they take place during the teaching process. It can reduce student stress around testing. They give you the chance to course-correct mid-unit if there are serious comprehension issues and to see which students might need a bit more one-on-one time.

Put students at the center of the classroom with active learning strategies; a teaching technique that increases student engagement in daily lessons. 

Differentiated instruction is a popular and effective teaching strategy that involves reacting to the diverse learning styles in every classroom with adjusted content and processes.

“Frequently reflect on the match between your classroom and the philosophy of teaching and learning you want to practice. Look for matches and mismatches, and use both to guide you.”

Strategies like learning stations and the think-pair-share method are small ways that you can bring unique learning experiences to your students

No two students are exactly alike. That’s why personalized learning builds a learning experience that addresses the unique abilities of each student. Personalized learning allows students to learn without stigma and gets students involved in what they’re learning.

Response to intervention (RTI) focuses on early and continuous identification, assessment, and assistance for students who have learning or behavior needs. It’s best used as part of a more general classroom management plan, and involves small-group or individual intervention that quickly addresses trouble spots.

The most effective RTI strategies are proactive. Start with everyday teaching and move to targeted intervention as soon as you spot a problem. When you’re prepared to move quickly, you’re more likely to be able to develop a tailored and effective learning plan.
