Incorporating effective teaching styles in lessons

Kirsty Meyer, a teacher in Cape Town, shared with Briefly News that there isn't one best style for teaching, as teachers cater to learners' needs. Furthermore, it's impossible to get through every learning style in one lesson.

"That's why your lessons need to be so different and dynamic so that students don't get bored."

The young educator approved of the man's techniques, and added:

"I think it's great that this teacher incorporated real-life objects and not just pictures, as some kids need to see and experience what they're taught.

"When teachers do their planning, they need to plan accordingly and ensure there's a balance in how it's presented to the class."
