Innovative Teaching

Innovative teaching is a proactive approach to integrate new teaching strategies and methods into a classroom. Research on education supports the benefits that certain processes, tools and methods have on learning. Innovative teachers implement new methods. Innovative teaching also involves creativity on the part of the teacher. The teacher serves as a guide or consultant as students participate. A primary motive of innovative teaching is encouraging students to engage more in the learning process. When students interact with teachers and peers, they gain more practical experience and retain more information from a class.

Innovative teaching strategies don’t always mean introducing the latest and greatest technology into the classroom. Instead, innovative teaching is the process of proactively introducing new teaching strategies and methods into the classroom. The purpose of introducing these new teaching strategies and methods is to improve academic outcomes and address real problems to promote equitable learning. In many ways, applying innovative teaching strategies to the classroom is a tacit understanding that our teaching methods can be improved. It accepts the need to grow and develop, which is exactly what we ask of our students.

So, innovative teaching strategies start with a growth mindset. We identify room for improvement. We invest our time in researching and thinking of better strategies to teach our students. We create something new or adapt existing methods. We take risks. We may fail. We try again. We iterate and by doing so establish a culture of innovation and creativity in the classroom that inspires our students to do the same. Students that are actively engaged in their learning are less likely to be absent from the class and more likely to succeed academically.

Innovation in education isn’t a specific term with fixed definitions. The spirit of innovation education is an openness to looking with fresh eyes at problems and to address them in different, new ways. It is a recognition that we don’t have all the answers and are open to new approaches to improve such as methods of knowledge transfer with innovative teaching strategies.

Degrees of Comparison

In grammar, the degrees of comparison relate to adjectives and every adjective and adverb can be written in one of three degrees:

• The Positive Degree. This offers no comparison. It just tells us about the existence of a quality. For example:
• adjectives: slow, beautiful, happy
• adverbs: slowly, beautifully, happily
• The Comparative Degree. This compares two things to show which has the lesser or greater degree of the quality. For example:
• adjectives: slower, more beautiful, happier
• adverbs: more slowly, more beautifully, more happily
• The Superlative Degree. This compares more than two things to show which has the least or greatest degree of the quality.For example:
• adjectives: slowest, most beautiful, happiest
• adverbs: most slowly, most beautifully, most happily
