The document discusses selecting an instructional style for teaching. It recommends choosing a style that students learn best in and taking into account individual learning styles. An interactive teaching style engages students actively in the learning process. This helps students retain information longer and develops their collaboration, cooperation, problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Some interactive techniques mentioned include putting students in pairs to quiz each other, having them apply the material by solving problems, and using response cards to vote on issues.
