Ep 36 The Most Effective Teaching Strategies for Student Learning

07/15/24 • 22 min

Schools are in crisis. Researchers say that children are not performing as well as they should be, and are falling behind.
But who is to blame? The curriculum or the teachers, or something else? Are our teaching strategies ineffective?
In this episode we look at what research based evidence says are the most effective teaching strategies for student learning. We dig into High Impact Teaching Strategies as developed by John Hattie, and how these strategies align with inquiry based learning.
If we are using these evidence based strategies, then surely student learning will be positively impacted.
We unpack how these strategies form part of an inquiry classroom and explore how teachers can get started with inquiry in their classrooms with the Inquiry101 e-guide.
