2. The important thing is not so much that every child should be
taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.
John Lubboc
For successful teaching and for effective
learning the important things are:
-how the teacher works
-if the students know how to learn
-the question about their internal
motivation.
Our task is to show students how to learn.
Learning techniques have personal
responsibility, but we need to discuss them
in advance with students.

3. Our school
All the colleagues at our
school try to get to know
students’ strength, use and
develop it, work to overcome
weakness. Knowing the
individual characteristics of the
students we are able to offer
relevant schemes, methods of
training aids. Teachers should
be able to create a positive
attitude towards learning
material.

4. The atmosphere in the classroom
Teachers create an
environment for learning that
makes them feel emotionally
safe and stimulating work.
The atmosphere of mutual
respect, tolerance and interest
in connection with positive
emotions during the lessons is
also important. The suitable
atmosphere makes learning
more effective. The classroom
should be clean, tidy and
welcoming.

5. Goals and objectives
At the end of the lesson the
teacher asks the questions:
 What did you learn?
 What did you understand?
The aim is to synthesize what
they have learned.

6. Maths
In this lesson the students are
advised to follow a certain order
when they solve problems. This
algorithm is easily visible in the
classroom. It includes:
1. Reading the task once, twice or
three times to assimilate
2. Using mathematical symbols
3. Making drawings and establishing
what is demanded
4. Writing the task

7. Chemistry
To learn the chemical
elements the Chemistry
teacher uses flash cards.
On the one side is
written the characters,
and the reverse side is
written the name of the
element. Through these
cards it can be drawn
chemical equations.

8. Literature
Students learn easily a lot
of works of the certain
writers by drawing a tree
that illustrates them.
Students first read the
information about a writer
from their textbook then
they draw a tree that
presents the works of this
author. The example here
is the tree for the
Bulgarian poet and
revolutionary Hristo Botev.

9. Training group
Students are placed in a
situation to come together to
discuss and find solutions.
They can express themselves,
to show way of thinking. So
students remember more and
learn more effective. Very
successful is making a
presentation by a group of
students in IT lessons. This
support and help for personal
development of the students.

10. They were built at the
beginning of the second
term. Some good
students willingly
accepted the mission to
help those who are
difficult to deal with the
material. They are
students at 10th grade
and wanted to help
their classmates who
finished the first term
with bad results.

13. The conclusion
In education, there are many
opportunities and options for
learning. In our school we do
everything possible to use
different ways of learning
and activities, we encourage
students to learn effectively.
We believe that the solutions
offered by our school related
to effective learning will help
all the students to develop
the learning process better
and better.
