Lesson planning: Planning how to structure lessons for effective teaching and learning.
Classroom management: Creating a classroom environment conducive to learning.
Differentiated instruction: Strategies for meeting the diverse learning needs of students.
Bloom's taxonomy: A framework for creating learning objectives that can result in higher levels of thinking.
Assessment and evaluation: Strategies for measuring student progress and success.
Engaging students: Techniques for keeping students interested and focused.
Active learning: Promoting student engagement and involvement in the learning process.
Collaborative learning: Promoting group work and peer-to-peer learning.
Technology integration: Using technology to enhance teaching and learning.
Teaching with primary sources: Strategies for using historical documents and other artifacts as teaching tools.
Oratory and rhetoric: Teaching strategies related to public speaking.
Classics in contemporary education: How to bring classical languages and texts into modern teaching.

Memorization: Techniques for helping students memorize and recite ancient texts.
Classroom simulations: Techniques for simulating historical events and activities to encourage student engagement.
Creative writing: Strategies for promoting students to write creatively using classical themes and content.
Interdisciplinary learning: Bringing other subjects into the classics classroom.
Differentiating between original and interpretive translations: Teaching strategies for navigating multiple translations of classical texts.
Using visual and performing arts in classics pedagogy: Incorporating arts-based learning into classical studies.
Lecture-based: This is a traditional teaching method where the teacher presents information and students listen and take notes.
Discussion-based: The teacher guides a conversation among students to foster critical thinking and encourage students to share their views and ideas.
Inquiry-based: Students are encouraged to use their own curiosity and critical thinking skills to answer questions and solve real-world problems.
Project-based: Students work together on a project that engages them in practical, real-world learning and helps them develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration skills.
Game-based: Teachers create games that help students learn and reinforce concepts in an engaging and fun way.
Experiential-based: Students learn through hands-on activities or real-world experiences that allow them to interact with subject matter in a meaningful way.
Textbooks: A comprehensive resource that provides information and activities for students to learn from.
Worksheets: These include exercises, questions, and activities designed to reinforce the learning of specific concepts.
Multimedia: Videos, audio, and interactive activities that can be accessed through technology to enhance learning.
Manipulatives: Physical objects that students can touch and manipulate to understand abstract concepts.
Visual aids: Charts, graphs, diagrams, and pictures are used to enhance learning and help students understand complex ideas.
Assessment tools: Tests, quizzes, and other measurement tools that help teachers evaluate student understanding and progress.
Online resources: Digital tools and resources that can be accessed through the internet, such as online textbooks, educational games, and video tutorials.
"These strategies are determined partly on subject matter to be taught and partly by the nature of the learner."
"The approaches for teaching can be broadly classified into teacher-centered and student-centered."
"In a teacher-centered (authoritarian) approach to learning, teachers are the main authority figure in this model."
"Students are viewed as 'empty vessels' whose primary role is to passively receive information."
"With an end goal of testing and assessment."
"It is the primary role of teachers to pass knowledge and information onto their students."
"In this model, teaching and assessment are viewed as two separate entities."
"Student learning is measured through objectively scored tests and assessments."
"This approach is also called authoritative."
"The teacher's primary role is to coach and facilitate student learning and overall comprehension of material."
"Student learning is measured through both formal and informal forms of assessment."
"Group projects, student portfolios, and class participation."
"Teaching and assessments are connected; student learning is continuously measured during teacher instruction."
"The nature of the subject matter."
"Teachers and students play an equally active role in the learning process."
"To coach and facilitate student learning."
"The student-centered approach considers students as active participants in their own learning, rather than passive recipients of information."
"Teachers and students are engaged in a collaborative learning process."
"Assessments are used to measure student learning and provide feedback to guide further learning."
