Teaching Tools and Classroom Management Strategies

This six-week course is developed to enable all subject teachers to improve their skills and become more proficient at their jobs by discussing practical and applicable classroom strategies. By discovering, application of, and sharing new teaching strategies, teachers will not only go back to the classroom and adapt their teaching styles and curricula to better suit students, but also focus on and cater to the individual needs of students. The course will enable teachers to expand their knowledge in different subject areas, hence increase teacher effectiveness and more opportunities to engage students actively in learning.

The course will provide teachers with an opportunity to share ideas and best practice so that they can improve their performance and raise student achievement and attainment.

After completing this course, participants should be able to:

• Improve the quality of teaching and learning in their classrooms/schools.
