This document discusses maxims that innovative teachers use in their teaching. It outlines several maxims including: teaching from the known to the unknown; teaching from the definite to the indefinite; teaching from the whole to the parts; teaching from the simple to the complex; teaching from the actual to representatives; teaching using analysis to synthesis; and teaching from the seen to the unseen. These maxims are meant to simplify the teaching process, create a joyful learning environment, encourage purposeful teaching and learning, and develop skills like creativity, analysis, synthesis, and critical thinking in students. The document encourages teachers to thoughtfully integrate psychological principles for students with logical sequencing in their teaching.
