President's Message




Koinpura High school (Stablished in 1955) is a middle rattling category school in Bangladesh.  It’s situated in rural area but very close to the Chittagong town. That's why rich and middle rich students are living in the town with their parents.  I am an ex student in school. Past school environment and present environment like some different.  So suggested  12 innovative ideas  for teachers and students. 
 
The biggest challenge for any teacher is capturing each student’s attention, and conveying ideas effectively enough to create a lasting impression.
 
As a teacher, to tackle this challenge effectively, you should implement innovative ideas that make the classroom experience much more lovable for your students.
 
So here are 12 innovative ideas that will help you reinvent your teaching methods and make your classes more interesting.
 
1. Creative Teaching
 
Creative-Teaching
 
Take the help of tools to stimulate creativity. Include playful games or forms of visual exercises that will excite young minds and capture their interest.
 
This is a time-tested method to identify every young student’s creative abilities and encourage creative contributions.
 
Bring aspects of creativity into all your subjects, be it mathematics, science, or history. Think of ways to develop their creative ideas.
 
Encourage different ideas, give them the freedom to explore
 
2. “Real-World” Learning
 
Real World Learning- Classroom Strategies
 
Infusing real-world experiences into your instructions will make teaching moments fresh, and enrich classroom learning.
 
Relating and demonstrating through real-life situations will make the material easy to understand and easy to learn. It will spark their interest and get the children excited and involved.
 
3. Brainstorm
 
Brainstorming in Classroom - teaching strategies
 
Make time for brainstorming sessions in your classrooms. These sessions are a great way to get the creative juices flowing.
 
When you have multiple brains focusing on one single idea, you are sure to get numerous ideas and will also involve everyone into the discussion.
 
These sessions will be a great platform for students to voice their thoughts without having to worry about right or wrong.
 
Set some ground rules before you start. You can go for simple brainstorming or group brainstorming or paired brainstorming.
 
4. Role Play
 
Role Play - Classroom Teaching Strategy
 
Teaching through role-playing is a great way to make children step out of their comfort zone and develop their interpersonal skills.
 
This method comes in handy, especially when you are teaching literature, history or current events.
 
Role playing is most effective for students of almost any age group. You just need to customize depending on the age group.
 
You can even use this method for teaching preschoolers. Just make sure you keep it simple enough to capture their limited attention span
 
5. Storyboard Teaching
 
Storyboard-Best-Teaching Strategies in classroom
 
Rudyard Kipling rightly said, “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.”
 
Storyboarding is a great way to teach any subject which requires  step-by-step memorization or visualization highly-conceptual ideas.
 
History teachers can use a storyboard to recreate a famous event. Such visually stimulating activity will ensure that even complex ideas are easily put across to students.
 
You can also encourage the use of storyboards as a form of communication and let the students tell a story in pictures using their imagination
 
6. Stimulating Classroom Environment
 
using Classroom environment for better teaching
 
A classroom environment that is well-decorated, fun, and engaging will help stimulate a student’s mind and will help think and learn better.
 
Such a creative and stimulating environment will help them explore and will encourage them to learn about the subject.
 
Children, especially young ones cannot be expected to sit all day and learn.  An environment that positively impacts the children is beneficial for you as well.
 
Schools associated with Early Years Foundation Stage(EYFS) will vouch for the fact that the learning environment has a prime role in learning and development
 
7. Think About A New Hobby

Sometimes, a hectic workload may affect your engagement in teaching.
 
If it happens to you, it’s natural.
 
You can take a break for a couple of hours and engage in some other activity that you’re interested in.
 
This will rejuvenate you and you can return to your work with more passion and interest.
 
8. Work Together As a Team
 
Teamwork in Classroom
 
As everyone knows, the end result of the collaborative effort is always immense.
 
Think about spending some quality time with your colleagues. Ask them to share their views on improving teaching methods, you can see many of them come up with interesting strategies.
 
So, collaborate and introduce innovative teaching methods.
 
9. Start School Clubs or Groups
 
Start School Clubs or Groups - innovative ideas
 
What about starting an after-school club or group?
 
Being a teacher you may not get enough time to work on interesting topics that you are passionate about.
 
You can share your views and learn more from others when you have school clubs or groups.
 
10. Refer to Books On Creativity

To be a creative teacher, you need to do some research on creative ideas and techniques.
 
There are a lot of books on creativity.
 
Choose some of the best works and start learning, it will be helpful for your professional development as well.
 
11. Love What You Do
 
Love-What-You-Do-innovative-ideas
 
You can give your best only if you truly love what you do.
 
When you are not stressed, you will be more creative and inspired.
 
Loving your work keeps you relaxed and gives you room to experiment with new ideas.
 
12. Introduce Lessons Like a Story
 
Introduce-Lessons-Like-a-Story-innovative-ideas
 
Just think, why do you watch movies with much interest?
 
You like to watch movies because there is always an interesting story to keep you engaged.
 
So building and outside development is not part of education. Learning is first. So I shall hope Koinpura high school will achieve target  to make a goal.
