Enhancing Classroom Effectiveness

An effective classroom is not just about kids coming to school, taking their notebooks out, listening to the teacher and memorising the textbooks. It is more than following order and abiding by the rules. The concept of the practical classroom is where learning occurs in a fun, effective, and more impactful way.

A school is where students spend most of their time so having class effectiveness is very important. A classroom is a place where students are engaged and achieve the intended learning objectives. Rules are important, but they are not, in themselves, the objective. Rules help make learning possible.

If students are talking in class, they could be disrupting others from learning or adding to the discussion by asking questions that increase all students’ learning as everyone does not think in the same manner. In the same manner, when students use cell phones in classrooms could be practical and non-effective. Nevertheless, we will never know what is right and what is wrong till we allow them to.

This session aims to interact with teachers to understand the various strategies that can be adopted for an enhanced classroom effectiveness.
