Principles of Teaching- A Complete Guide
ANAGHA VALLIKAT - 07 JUN 2021
Stephen Covey said that there are three constants in life; change, choice, and principles. This couldn’t be
any more true. The world is changing by the minute, the only way to survive and succeed is by adapting
and making the right choices. Everything and anything around us is guided by one principle or the other.
What are principles? Principles are the basic guidelines or foundation within which things must operate.
Teaching is a complex profession and it would be chaotic if it works without taking into account the
major principles of teaching and learning. Having said that, more principles get added every day because
of the changes that happen around us. Holding on to a particular set of principles of teaching might
backfire. Hence, it is important to shake and alter the list every now and then. Today, we will be
discussing the basic principles of teaching and how to teach effectively.
Principles of Effective Teaching
What are the principles of teaching? As mentioned, the principles of teaching are the basic guidelines or
foundation that say how teaching should be carried out and how it must be catered. The principles of
teaching include and are not limited to:
1.Creating an Active Learning Environment
A classroom must never be monologed in nature. It should be a platform for dialogues where the
students and teachers are equal participants. In order to foster an active learning environment, teachers
can incorporate activities. If they are teaching online, before beginning the online class, they can post a
trick question or assignment and then discuss it in the class later on. An active environment is essential
to make learning effective and efficient.
2.Establish a Rapport Between the Students and the Teacher
One of the most overlooked things when it comes to teaching and learning is the rapport between the
teacher and student. Imagine you are strapped into a chair with a plaster on your mouth and someone
hands you a book. If you were asked to memorize or learn what is in the book, would you be able to do
it? Running a tight ship is not a principle of effective teaching. The students must feel at ease and they
should feel comfortable. They shouldn’t feel as though they are strapped to the chair.
3.Feedback and Communication
Communication lies at the heart of effective teaching and learning. It is impossible to talk about the
principles of teaching without highlighting the importance of communication and feedback. How would
you know if the students have understood a concept or not without gathering feedback? Evaluations
and assessments are different. That encompasses a lot of other things like learning ability, capacity, and
likewise. To ensure that your teaching methods are effective and the approaches are appropriate,
teachers must talk to their students at regular intervals. This can happen only if you follow the first two
principles.
4.Inclusivity
Every kid is different. The type of learning, the pace at which they learn, their understanding, everything
varies from one person to the other. It was also found that the previous learnings and understandings of
the students affect their studies. Accepting all kinds of learners and catering to each of them is one of
the principles of teaching that cannot be sidelined. The last thing that a teacher should be is judgmental
and it is beyond criminal to make a student feel as though they don’t belong in the classroom. Make
everyone feel welcomed and as mentioned in the previous points, try and make the classroom a safe
space where every student feels heard and valued.
5.Helping Students to Manage Time
Assignments, tests, notes, homework, examinations, evaluations, attendance, there are a lot of things
that the students have to take care of and not just for one subject. While all this is for the betterment of
the students, the teachers should understand that the day is just 24 hours. Teach your students the
importance of time management and how it can be implemented to make them stress-free. More often
than not, teachers use statements like “we were also students and we managed to do all this.” Refrain
from making such statements because it makes the students think as though everything they do is trivial.
Use more affirmations like “I understand it might be difficult, who don’t you try doing it this way?”. Such
statements will help the students and make them believe in themselves.
6.Motivation and Inspiration
More often than not, students feel demotivated. They don’t feel like studying or doing the work.
Teachers must reaffirm their faith and inspire them to do better. This is another important principle of
teaching. When it comes to principles of teaching, motivating and inspiring students, makes it to the
chart because one of the primary concerns of teachers is to shape the future generation. Motivating the
students even when they fail and fall down must be the crux of the concern for teachers
7.Adaptability and Betterment
The education landscape is ever-changing and ever-evolving. If a tree refused to spread its roots as it
grew, it would be uprooted before we know. The same would happen if the teacher stops learning. No
matter how learned you think you are, there are still things that you are unaware of. Be informed about
the changes that are happening in the field and employ what you can in your classroom. If you are
teaching online, use innovative teaching methods and approaches and cater to your students
accordingly.
Teaching is a profession with a lot of layers. It is not just about subject knowledge or presentation skills.
A good teacher knows how to make the classroom think outside the four walls of the classroom (be it
virtual or traditional!). Online teaching is the new normal and it looks like it is going to be the reality.
Since it makes quality education more accessible and brings ease and efficiency to the table, this
alternative is here to stay. Keeping one of the main principles of teaching, adaptability in mind, teachers
should opt for a good online teaching app and start educating.
Happy teaching!
Student-centered philosophies are another essential philosophy that educators should be aware of. By
focusing on the needs of students, teachers are able to assist and teach students within the classroom
ensuring a higher level of student success. In this article three types of student-centered philosophies
will be discussed which are progressivism, social reconstructionism, and existentialism.
Student-centered philosophies focus more on training individual students. These philosophies place
more emphasis on the individuality of students and helping them to realize their potential. A student-
centered classroom may be less rigid or structured, less concerned about past teaching practices and
drilling academics, and more focused on training students for success in an ever-changing world.
Students and teachers typically decide together what should be learned, as well as how this can best be
achieved.
Progressivism is based on the positive changes and problem-solving approach that individuals with
various educational credentials can provide their students. Progressivist educators are outcome focused
and don’t simply impart learned facts. Teachers are less concerned with passing on the existing culture
and strive to allow students to develop an individual approach to tasks provided to them.
John Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778) and John Dewey (1859–1952) are the guiding minds of
progressivism. Rousseau maintained that people are basically good and that society is responsible for
corrupting them. He supported education in nature, away from the city and the influences of civilization,
where the child’s interests (as opposed to a written set of guidelines) would guide the curriculum.
John Dewey proposed that people learn best by social interaction and problem solvin. Dewey developed
the scientific method of problem solving and experimentalism. As a result of the varied opinions
emerging from the movement, progressivism was not developed into a formalized, documented
educational philosophy. Progressivists did, however, agree that they wanted to move away from certain
characteristics of traditional schools. In particular, they were keen to remove themselves from the
textbook-based curriculum and the idea of teachers as disseminators of information, in favor of viewing
teachers as facilitators of thinking.
The progressivist classroom is about exploration and experience. Teachers act as facilitators in a
classroom where students explore physical, mental, moral, and social growth. Common sights in a
progressivist classroom might include: small groups debating, custom-made activities, and learning
stations. Teachers typically walk freely among the groups, guiding them using suggestions and thought-
provoking questions.
Social reconstructionism is an educational philosophy that views schools as tools to solve social
problems. Social reconstructionists reason that, because all leaders are the product of schools, schools
should provide a curriculum that fosters their development. Reconstructionists not only aim to educate
a generation of problem solvers, but also try to identify and correct many noteworthy social problems
that face our nation, with diverse targets including racism, pollution, homelessness, poverty, and
violence. Rather than a philosophy of education, reconstructionism may be referred to as more of a
remedy for society that seeks to build a more objective social order.
Outraged at the inequity in educational opportunities between the rich and the poor, George Counts
wrote Dare the School Build a New Social Order? in 1932. He called on teachers to educate students to
prepare them for the social changes that would accompany heightened participation in science,
technology, and other fields of learning, without compromising their cultural education. This text was
important in the development of social reconstructionist schools in the United States. For social
reconstructionists, the class becomes an area where societal improvement is an active and measurable
goal.
The reconstructionist classroom contains a teacher who involves the students in discussions of moral
dilemmas to understand the implications of one’s actions. Students individually select their objectives
and social priorities and then, with guidance from the teacher, create a plan of action to make the
change happen.
For example, a class may read an article on texting while driving and watch a documentary on the need
for awareness in school systems. In addition, a police officer or a loved one of someone who has been
affected by texting while driving may speak to the class and describe dangerous and/or fatal events that
have resulted from choosing to text while driving. If the article, the movie, and the speaker inspire them,
the students may take on a long-term awareness project.
One group may choose to analyze the regional news coverage on texting while driving, while another
may choose to conduct a survey, analyzing student viewpoints on the subject. Either or both groups may
schedule meetings with political leaders and create programs or legislation. Alternatively, they might
create a web page and present it to the media. All the while, the teacher advises on research techniques,
writing skills, and public communication methods, building core skills that will be applicable across a
broad range of topics.
An excellent example of social reconstructionism is the 2007 movie Freedom Writers. In the movie the
teacher was determined to get the students interested by requiring them to write. Students were
allowed to write about anything they wanted and were free to express themselves in their journals
however they pleased. The journal writing not only taught basic writing skills; in some individual
instances, it helped to bring students out of a life of crime.
Existentialism promotes attentive personal consideration about personal character, beliefs, and choices.
The primary question existentialists ask is whether they want to define who they are themselves, or
whether they want society to define them. Although freedom and individuality are highly valued
American principles, existentialists argue that there is an underlying message of conformity. Rather than
the belief that the mind needs to understand the universe, existentialists assume that the mind creates
its universe. Their beliefs incorporate the inevitability of death, as the afterlife cannot be experienced
personally with the current senses, focusing on the fact that the experience we have of the world is
temporary and should be appreciated as such.
Education from an existentialist perspective places the primary emphasis on students’ directing their
own learning. Students search for their own meaning and direction in life as well as define what is true
and what is false, what is pleasant and satisfying, what is unpleasant and dissatisfying, and what is right
or wrong. The goal of an existentialist education is to train students to develop their own unique
understanding of life.
An existentialist classroom typically involves the teachers and school laying out what they feel is
important and allowing the students to choose what they study. All students work on different, self-
selected assignments at their own pace. Teachers act as facilitators, directing students in finding the
most appropriate methods of study or materials, and are often seen as an additional resource, alongside
books, computers, television, newspapers, and other materials that are readily available to students.
By focusing on student-centered philosophies school systems and educators will be able to make
necessary changes to create effective and life transforming environments for students.

ABOUT US
The Edvocate was created in 2014 to argue for shifts in education policy and organization in order to
enhance the quality of education and the opportunities for learning afforded to P-20 students in
America. What we envisage may not be the most straightforward or the most conventional ideas. We
call for a relatively radical and certainly quite comprehensive reorganization of America’s P-20 system.
That reorganization, though, and the underlying effort, will have much to do with reviving the American
education system, and reviving a national love of learning. The Edvocate plans to be one of key
architects of this revival, as it continues to advocate for education reform, equity, and innovation.

  • 1. Principles of Teaching- A Complete Guide ANAGHA VALLIKAT - 07 JUN 2021 Stephen Covey said that there are three constants in life; change, choice, and principles. This couldn’t be any more true. The world is changing by the minute, the only way to survive and succeed is by adapting and making the right choices. Everything and anything around us is guided by one principle or the other. What are principles? Principles are the basic guidelines or foundation within which things must operate. Teaching is a complex profession and it would be chaotic if it works without taking into account the major principles of teaching and learning. Having said that, more principles get added every day because of the changes that happen around us. Holding on to a particular set of principles of teaching might backfire. Hence, it is important to shake and alter the list every now and then. Today, we will be discussing the basic principles of teaching and how to teach effectively. Principles of Effective Teaching What are the principles of teaching? As mentioned, the principles of teaching are the basic guidelines or foundation that say how teaching should be carried out and how it must be catered. The principles of teaching include and are not limited to: 1.Creating an Active Learning Environment A classroom must never be monologed in nature. It should be a platform for dialogues where the students and teachers are equal participants. In order to foster an active learning environment, teachers can incorporate activities. If they are teaching online, before beginning the online class, they can post a trick question or assignment and then discuss it in the class later on. An active environment is essential to make learning effective and efficient. 2.Establish a Rapport Between the Students and the Teacher One of the most overlooked things when it comes to teaching and learning is the rapport between the teacher and student. Imagine you are strapped into a chair with a plaster on your mouth and someone hands you a book. If you were asked to memorize or learn what is in the book, would you be able to do it? Running a tight ship is not a principle of effective teaching. The students must feel at ease and they should feel comfortable. They shouldn’t feel as though they are strapped to the chair.
  • 2. 3.Feedback and Communication Communication lies at the heart of effective teaching and learning. It is impossible to talk about the principles of teaching without highlighting the importance of communication and feedback. How would you know if the students have understood a concept or not without gathering feedback? Evaluations and assessments are different. That encompasses a lot of other things like learning ability, capacity, and likewise. To ensure that your teaching methods are effective and the approaches are appropriate, teachers must talk to their students at regular intervals. This can happen only if you follow the first two principles. 4.Inclusivity Every kid is different. The type of learning, the pace at which they learn, their understanding, everything varies from one person to the other. It was also found that the previous learnings and understandings of the students affect their studies. Accepting all kinds of learners and catering to each of them is one of the principles of teaching that cannot be sidelined. The last thing that a teacher should be is judgmental and it is beyond criminal to make a student feel as though they don’t belong in the classroom. Make everyone feel welcomed and as mentioned in the previous points, try and make the classroom a safe space where every student feels heard and valued. 5.Helping Students to Manage Time Assignments, tests, notes, homework, examinations, evaluations, attendance, there are a lot of things that the students have to take care of and not just for one subject. While all this is for the betterment of the students, the teachers should understand that the day is just 24 hours. Teach your students the importance of time management and how it can be implemented to make them stress-free. More often than not, teachers use statements like “we were also students and we managed to do all this.” Refrain from making such statements because it makes the students think as though everything they do is trivial. Use more affirmations like “I understand it might be difficult, who don’t you try doing it this way?”. Such statements will help the students and make them believe in themselves. 6.Motivation and Inspiration More often than not, students feel demotivated. They don’t feel like studying or doing the work. Teachers must reaffirm their faith and inspire them to do better. This is another important principle of teaching. When it comes to principles of teaching, motivating and inspiring students, makes it to the chart because one of the primary concerns of teachers is to shape the future generation. Motivating the students even when they fail and fall down must be the crux of the concern for teachers
  • 3. 7.Adaptability and Betterment The education landscape is ever-changing and ever-evolving. If a tree refused to spread its roots as it grew, it would be uprooted before we know. The same would happen if the teacher stops learning. No matter how learned you think you are, there are still things that you are unaware of. Be informed about the changes that are happening in the field and employ what you can in your classroom. If you are teaching online, use innovative teaching methods and approaches and cater to your students accordingly. Teaching is a profession with a lot of layers. It is not just about subject knowledge or presentation skills. A good teacher knows how to make the classroom think outside the four walls of the classroom (be it virtual or traditional!). Online teaching is the new normal and it looks like it is going to be the reality. Since it makes quality education more accessible and brings ease and efficiency to the table, this alternative is here to stay. Keeping one of the main principles of teaching, adaptability in mind, teachers should opt for a good online teaching app and start educating. Happy teaching! Student-centered philosophies are another essential philosophy that educators should be aware of. By focusing on the needs of students, teachers are able to assist and teach students within the classroom ensuring a higher level of student success. In this article three types of student-centered philosophies will be discussed which are progressivism, social reconstructionism, and existentialism. Student-centered philosophies focus more on training individual students. These philosophies place more emphasis on the individuality of students and helping them to realize their potential. A student- centered classroom may be less rigid or structured, less concerned about past teaching practices and drilling academics, and more focused on training students for success in an ever-changing world. Students and teachers typically decide together what should be learned, as well as how this can best be achieved. Progressivism is based on the positive changes and problem-solving approach that individuals with various educational credentials can provide their students. Progressivist educators are outcome focused and don’t simply impart learned facts. Teachers are less concerned with passing on the existing culture and strive to allow students to develop an individual approach to tasks provided to them.
  • 4. John Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778) and John Dewey (1859–1952) are the guiding minds of progressivism. Rousseau maintained that people are basically good and that society is responsible for corrupting them. He supported education in nature, away from the city and the influences of civilization, where the child’s interests (as opposed to a written set of guidelines) would guide the curriculum. John Dewey proposed that people learn best by social interaction and problem solvin. Dewey developed the scientific method of problem solving and experimentalism. As a result of the varied opinions emerging from the movement, progressivism was not developed into a formalized, documented educational philosophy. Progressivists did, however, agree that they wanted to move away from certain characteristics of traditional schools. In particular, they were keen to remove themselves from the textbook-based curriculum and the idea of teachers as disseminators of information, in favor of viewing teachers as facilitators of thinking. The progressivist classroom is about exploration and experience. Teachers act as facilitators in a classroom where students explore physical, mental, moral, and social growth. Common sights in a progressivist classroom might include: small groups debating, custom-made activities, and learning stations. Teachers typically walk freely among the groups, guiding them using suggestions and thought- provoking questions. Social reconstructionism is an educational philosophy that views schools as tools to solve social problems. Social reconstructionists reason that, because all leaders are the product of schools, schools should provide a curriculum that fosters their development. Reconstructionists not only aim to educate a generation of problem solvers, but also try to identify and correct many noteworthy social problems that face our nation, with diverse targets including racism, pollution, homelessness, poverty, and violence. Rather than a philosophy of education, reconstructionism may be referred to as more of a remedy for society that seeks to build a more objective social order. Outraged at the inequity in educational opportunities between the rich and the poor, George Counts wrote Dare the School Build a New Social Order? in 1932. He called on teachers to educate students to prepare them for the social changes that would accompany heightened participation in science, technology, and other fields of learning, without compromising their cultural education. This text was important in the development of social reconstructionist schools in the United States. For social reconstructionists, the class becomes an area where societal improvement is an active and measurable goal.
  • 5. The reconstructionist classroom contains a teacher who involves the students in discussions of moral dilemmas to understand the implications of one’s actions. Students individually select their objectives and social priorities and then, with guidance from the teacher, create a plan of action to make the change happen. For example, a class may read an article on texting while driving and watch a documentary on the need for awareness in school systems. In addition, a police officer or a loved one of someone who has been affected by texting while driving may speak to the class and describe dangerous and/or fatal events that have resulted from choosing to text while driving. If the article, the movie, and the speaker inspire them, the students may take on a long-term awareness project. One group may choose to analyze the regional news coverage on texting while driving, while another may choose to conduct a survey, analyzing student viewpoints on the subject. Either or both groups may schedule meetings with political leaders and create programs or legislation. Alternatively, they might create a web page and present it to the media. All the while, the teacher advises on research techniques, writing skills, and public communication methods, building core skills that will be applicable across a broad range of topics. An excellent example of social reconstructionism is the 2007 movie Freedom Writers. In the movie the teacher was determined to get the students interested by requiring them to write. Students were allowed to write about anything they wanted and were free to express themselves in their journals however they pleased. The journal writing not only taught basic writing skills; in some individual instances, it helped to bring students out of a life of crime. Existentialism promotes attentive personal consideration about personal character, beliefs, and choices. The primary question existentialists ask is whether they want to define who they are themselves, or whether they want society to define them. Although freedom and individuality are highly valued American principles, existentialists argue that there is an underlying message of conformity. Rather than the belief that the mind needs to understand the universe, existentialists assume that the mind creates its universe. Their beliefs incorporate the inevitability of death, as the afterlife cannot be experienced personally with the current senses, focusing on the fact that the experience we have of the world is temporary and should be appreciated as such.
  • 6. Education from an existentialist perspective places the primary emphasis on students’ directing their own learning. Students search for their own meaning and direction in life as well as define what is true and what is false, what is pleasant and satisfying, what is unpleasant and dissatisfying, and what is right or wrong. The goal of an existentialist education is to train students to develop their own unique understanding of life. An existentialist classroom typically involves the teachers and school laying out what they feel is important and allowing the students to choose what they study. All students work on different, self- selected assignments at their own pace. Teachers act as facilitators, directing students in finding the most appropriate methods of study or materials, and are often seen as an additional resource, alongside books, computers, television, newspapers, and other materials that are readily available to students. By focusing on student-centered philosophies school systems and educators will be able to make necessary changes to create effective and life transforming environments for students.

September 27, 2018 Matthew Lynch Revisiting Using Edtech for Bullying and Suicide Prevention September 10, 2018 Matthew Lynch ABOUT US The Edvocate was created in 2014 to argue for shifts in education policy and organization in order to enhance the quality of education and the opportunities for learning afforded to P-20 students in America. What we envisage may not be the most straightforward or the most conventional ideas. We call for a relatively radical and certainly quite comprehensive reorganization of America’s P-20 system. That reorganization, though, and the underlying effort, will have much to do with reviving the American education system, and reviving a national love of learning. The Edvocate plans to be one of key architects of this revival, as it continues to advocate for education reform, equity, and innovation.
