ST. LOUIS BOARD OF EDUCATION POLICY The Board of Education recognizes that there are differences among teachers based on personal style, preferences, and experiences. However, there is a vast body of knowledge demonstrating that all teachers should incorporate certain principles and techniques into their instruction to increase student learning and their own teaching effectiveness. Teaching methods usually refer to the teachers behavior in the classroom -- the way he or she groups students for learning, designs, and/or assigns resources, uses interaction techniques with students, and employs basic approaches to the teaching of each student. Policy adopted: June 26, 1990 Revised: December 07, 1999 R6156 ST. LOUIS BOARD OF EDUCATION REGULATION The principal of each school shall direct his or her staff to use instructional methods such as lectures and demonstrations, laboratory work, individualized instruction, team teaching, differentiated staffing, contracting for instruction, minicourses, open classrooms, non-graded classrooms, and computer-assisted instructions. Teachers shall use the instructional method deemed most effective with a group of students for which the lesson was designed. Flexibility of methods is recommended in order to strengthen teaching effectiveness. Regulation approved: June 26, 1990 Revised: December 07, 1999 |
