1. Student-Centered Discussions
I admit that I enjoy being the “way on stage” in my class, but I realize that does little to engage my students in deep thinking. I want my students to be the center of their learning.
Before, when we read a book or a story, I asked questions to the whole class. Inevitably, the same five or six students answered the questions, and I guess they all understood. I am now bringing together small groups of three or four students who answer questions first in these small groups to ensure that all students have the opportunity to participate.
I've seen an increase in comprehension, speaking and listening skills, and test results. Implementing student-centered discussions is pretty straightforward: simply create thought-provoking questions that delve into the content. The rewards are definitely worth it.
It is absolutely important that the teaching methods you use help students connect with their learning.
2. Real connections make learning interesting and relevant for students. For example, when I teach Macbeth, my students focus on the idea of setting goals.
They examine how ambition can be positive and negative, and I have them examine recent world leaders to help them understand the real impact of this concept.

The student's goal is to examine the problems of each region and build relationships with other nations to address them. This helps students personally identify with international issues in a way they have never been able to do so before.
In physics class, students build their own physical models to apply theory to real life. Explore your curriculum and see what assignable apps you can bring to class. Students will be much more engaged, and these real-world connections help students understand the content and theories you teach much better than simply reading a textbook.
