IMPORTANCE OF EFFECTIVE TEACHING METHODS

Effective teaching impacts students' academic, physical, social, emotional, and


behavioral well-being. Effective teaching occurs best when all education stakeholders,
including parents, policymakers, community members, and educators, share
responsibility for continuous improvement and student achievement.

Efficient teachers can make teaching as efficient as possible by organizing and planning
what needs to be done before teaching a lesson. These teachers have the ability to get
the most out of the learners in the shortest amount of time. Effective teachers are those
who can teach learners in the most productive manner.

What is effective teaching?

What is an effective teacher? How can I ensure my teaching is effective? These are
questions which continue to fascinate both educators and researchers.

Understanding what constitutes effective teaching is an essential aspect of ongoing


professional development – regardless of your job title or length of experience – but
keeping up-to-date with best practice can be challenging alongside the everyday
pressures and demands of the role. However, gaining a secure understanding of
effective teaching and its importance does not have to be a laborious process. Trialling
the latest, shiniest strategies can take our attention away from the core components of
effective teaching – components which are often very simple to implement and practise
within the classroom.

In this topic, we will outline what effective teaching means and why it is so important.
We will also provide you with a range of strategies that you can use in the classroom to
help create the best outcomes for your students.

What Does Effective Teaching Mean?

‘Student progress is the yardstick by which teacher quality should be assessed.


Ultimately, for a judgement about whether teaching is effective, to be seen as
trustworthy, it must be checked against the progress being made by students.’
(Sutton Trust, What Makes Great Teaching?)

Effective teaching is the knowledge, strategies, processes and behaviours which lead to
good student outcomes. Effective teachers have a positive impact on their students and
use their expertise to improve learning. These good outcomes are often those that can
be measured easily, usually through summative assessment.

However, it’s also important to remember that not all aspects of effective teaching are
immediately visible or measurable. Effective teachers cultivate excellent working
relationships with their students within safe and respectful environments. Effective
teaching is much more than end-of-year data: it is an ongoing, reflective practice that
needs to be refined and amended to suit learners’ needs.

Effective teachers nurture effective learners who are actively involved in their own
learning and personal development. They can manage a classroom to remove or
reduce instances of behaviour that challenges, introduce new information in an
engaging and accessible way, and provoke curiosity in the subject matter to promote
higher-order thinking.

Effective teachers also love their subject and use their experience and pedagogical
knowledge in order to create high-quality learning.

Why is Effective Teaching Important in the Classroom?

‘The best available evidence indicates that great teaching is the most important lever
schools have to improve pupil attainment. Ensuring every teacher is supported in
delivering high-quality teaching is essential to achieving the best outcomes for all
pupils, particularly the most disadvantaged among them.’

Education Endowment Foundation (EEF)

Effective teaching is constantly recognised as one of the key drivers in school


improvement. As the popular saying goes, a school is only ever as good as its teachers.
Effective teaching helps students to achieve their goals – both personal and academic.
We know that effective teachers can be hugely influential figures to many young people,
providing them with both certainty and assurance when they need it the most. Children
who feel safe, valued and engaged within the school community will learn better and
help to contribute to an improved culture – by promoting positive attitude and behaviour.

Effective teaching can also have a monumental impact on student achievement.


Improved relationships with students generate more personalised learning opportunities
and greater quality targeted assessment. Being able to capture an accurate snapshot of
student understanding helps to boost progress as both teachers and pupils know how
to improve learning outcomes.

According to research outlined by the National College for School Leadership, ‘having a
very effective, rather than an average teacher, raises each pupil’s attainment by a third
of [an examination] grade (Machin and Murphy, 2011).’ Machin argues that bringing the
lowest 5-10% of teachers in the UK to an average level would boost both attainment
and the nation’s ranking within international leader boards.
