The teacher plays a vital role in the teaching-learning process. To be able to achieve her goals she must be prepared to execute efficiently the lessons she undertakes everyday.

            For better teaching-learning outcomes, there should be a well-organized plan of activities.  This will enable the teacher to perform better in the teaching-learning process, doing her tasks at the right time and in the right way.

            Here are some guidelines and suggestions by which effective and productive execution of the lesson can be undertaken utilizing intervention strategies to improve the academic performance of the pupils in the different learning areas.

 1. Conduct a diagnostic test to find out the weaknesses/ difficulties of the

     learners.

2. Manage your classroom classroom efficiently and with minimum disruptions.

   These include teacher preparation where in all the needed instructional

    materials and devices are at hand to effect the smooth flow of activities.

3. Recognize and solve pupils’ learning difficulties such as their inability to read

    a grade level, inability to comprehend what they read, physical handicaps,

    emotional problems, low skill levels and the like. Sensitivity of the teacher in

    identifying such problems will  help a lot in the efficient execution of the

     lesson.

4. Motivate pupils. Pupils who are properly motivated by an efficient and down-

    to-earth teacher with interesting, practical and realistic activities will surely

    learn at their best,  thus more learning is attained.

5. Elicit active participation from pupils. This goes with principles of learning by

    doing. A pupil learns more with permanency if he participates in the different

    activities.

6. Communicate english, science, mathematical concepts precisely in the proper

    inductive sequence and at a level consistent with pupils ability. Prerequisite

    skills have  to be mastered fully before proceeding to the next.

7. Adapt the pace and direction of instruction to the group you are teaching. The

     ability of  the class is the most important factor to be taken into consideration

     when planning and executing the lesson. Qualitative rather quantitative

     results should be the prime objective.

8. Provide an atmosphere where mistakes are accepted as a part of learning and

    where pupils feel free to ask questions when they do not understand a

     concept.

9. Develop in pupils positive attitude by giving activities that are within their

     abilities and  bound of their experiences.  

10. Encourage cooperative learning during group activities  Effective learning

      occurs best in a cooperative atmosphere where students interact their ideas to

      one another.

11. Employ field trips/ group trails to make the pupils experience and apply  the

       concepts they  have learned.

12. Employ, select and use varied strategies/ approaches appropriate for given  

       behavioral objectives to gain mastery of the skills

13. Equip the discussion with real objects. exploratory/manipulative materials,

      activity cards, textbooks,  workbooks and the like.

14. Establishing functional libraries, Learning Resource Center, Math/ Science

       parks, rooms and gardens.

15. Administer a series of evaluation to determine the progress of the learners

       until the  point of mastery is achieved.

16. Give enrichment and remedial instruction/ individualized teaching which  

       will help in  attaining the point of mastery.

       

          With these guidelines, we will achieve quality teaching-learning interactions and so quality education will be productively realized.
