• Use strategies that will engage students in the learning process and
that will make the students the focus of attention instead of the teacher.
Having students do various types of group work will accomplish this.
• Use strategies that will promote thinking on the part of students. For
example, ask a variety of meaningful questions, such as open-ended
questions or those that require students to give an opinion.
• Provide students with problems related to class content and with
opportunities to discuss the problems together in groups and as a class. This
will help students to analyze information and think about the topic at hand.
• Use strategies that promote independence and autonomy on the part of
students. For example, allow students to discover answers to questions on
their own or together instead of providing them with the answers. Have
students generate their own questions.
• Allow students time to reflect on the questions asked or problems
posed. Be comfortable with silence and your students will be as well.
