TEACHING TECHNIQUES
The teachers observed were having a logical and sequential
lesson plans which are written from simply to complex format.
They all showcase their teaching techniques by making used of
different teaching method such as: questioning and demonstration,
inquiry method etc. they also make sure all their students are fully
involved in the teaching and learning process.
INTERACTION WITH STUDENTS
The teacher and the students are having a cordial relationship
which helps in promoting effective teaching and learning in the
classroom. The students were given the opportunity to ask
questions in which the teachers provided the needed answers to
them as this promote the flow of communication between the
teacher and the learner

Most of the teacher observed makes use of their lesson note
and in some case they make use of the available relevant teaching
aid to promote their teaching. The use of chalk board was

improvisation to get material when the original material is
absent.

textbooks and be regular in school.
