Differentiated Instruction allows teachers to adjust lessons to the range of skill level present in a class, while also supporting progress. Teachers observe students and use formative assessment methods in order to make sure class experiences can be adjusted to individual skill and ability levels as appropriate.
Project-Based Learning experiences allow students to engage in learning about a topic over a period of time, and may help the development of deep understanding.
Inquiry-Based Learning emphasizes the importance of effective questioning and thinking skills in the learning process.
Flipped Classrooms invert the traditional teaching model. In flipped classrooms students are assigned pre-learning before class, so that classroom time can be given over to problem-solving, one-to-one feedback and student collaboration.
Cooperative Learning encourages structuring classes into groups to foster communication and working together in smaller units.
Peer Teaching It is a method of teaching, where a student instructs another student, wherein the former will be an expert and the latter a novice.
