Sarah is a new teacher who has heard about progressive teaching philosophies. Her past teachers stood at the front and lectured, while students did homework from textbooks. Some teachers at Sarah's school recommend focusing on progressive approaches, but Sarah is unsure how to apply them. Progressive education emphasizes active, experiential, and problem-based learning centered around students' interests. It focuses on intellectual and social growth through cooperation rather than competition.

and she heard a lot about
different types of
teaching philosophies.

4. While thinking for an effective way of teaching, she remembered
her teachers’ way of teaching when she was young.They just
stood infront of the classroom and told them what they needed to
learn.

5. For homework, she
would read her
textbook. And THAT
was that!!

6. But some of her
teachers at her school
told her that she
should focus more on
the progressive way
of teaching.

7. Sarah is intrigued by these ideas but she’s not sure how to
apply them in her classroom.

8. If you were Sarah, how are you going to apply
the progressive way of teaching?
