TEACHING WITH 
VISION 
DR.T.V.RAO MD
Socratic Teaching 
The oldest, and still 
the most powerful, 
teaching tactic for 
fostering critical 
thinking is Socratic 
teaching. In Socratic 
teaching we focus on 
giving students 
questions, not 
answers
A Socratic Questioner 
should: Practice 
a) keep the discussion focused 
b) keep the discussion intellectually responsible 
c) stimulate the discussion with probing questions 
d) periodically summarize what has and what has not 
been dealt with and/or resolved 
e) draw as many students as possible into the 
discussion.
The Teaching Trends 
Have Changed 
Times have changed 
since the early days of 
classroom education in 
every country. 
Classrooms look 
different and student 
learning styles are 
different—just think of 
the tools available to a 
teacher in the 19th 
Century compared to 
today.
Move From Traditional to 
Blended Teaching and Learning
Blended learning 
Blended learning is 
a way of combining 
a variety of learning 
environments into 
one classroom— 
and even taking 
those teaching 
applications beyond 
the classroom
Many Ways are Integrated for Learning 
Blending many methods
Blended learning 
There are a variety 
of ways to approach 
blended learning, 
but they all share an 
emphasis on 
allowing each 
student to learn in 
the way that suits 
him or her best.
Blended Learning offers 
Blended learning offers 
more choice in the best 
fit for your particular 
class. Teachers know 
every class is different. 
Some classrooms are 
filled with tactile 
learners, while others 
have a heavier 
representation of 
auditory learners.
Teach Students with 
Examples 
Help students 
understand what good 
reading and good 
writing look like by 
providing them with 
examples, examining 
work, reviewing 
portfolios, and 
discussing criteria
Creating Opportunities 
for Practice 
MUST give your students 
the opportunity to practice 
whatever you will expect 
them to be able to do. It's 
possible to give them 
practice exclusively 
through homework 
assignments, but research 
demonstrates that practice 
with immediate feedback is 
most valuable
CHOOSING TEACHING 
METHODS
Build on Your Knowledge 
Build on prior knowledge 
Have students actively 
participating in the learning 
process 
Use real-world data 
Give students frequent 
practice and timely and 
constructive feedback
Teach with Multiple Styles 
Address multiple 
learning styles 
(visual/verbal, 
active/reflective, 
global/sequential, 
sensory/intuitive)
Things you might do in class: 
Remind students of the relevance of this exercise to their lives; give 
them reasons to care. These could include, but are certainly not limited 
to: 
It will help you to understand any deformation in your home state 
It will hone your problem-solving skills 
It will enrich your life as you travel across the country 
Understanding deformation helps us to predict where we'll find oil and 
gas 
This is how geologists have figured out the history of the Earth
Be a Consistent Teacher 
Good teachers should 
always consistent. 
They set up few yet 
attainable goals. 
Views the confusion 
well every time a class 
departs the room 
loudly and the teacher 
will always flash a 
pleasant smile.
Do not be Biased 
Good teachers are not bias, 
but always fair and square 
with every dealings he 
makes. All of the 
pupils/students are respected 
in spite of colour of skin, 
intellectual attainment, age, 
religion, wealth, or physical 
condition. without doubt 
sincerity and quality of 
contributions are acknowledged.
Be Cheerful to the Job 
Good teachers always 
smile and laugh. So many 
young teachers become 
old before their time 
because, for making 
everything perfect causes 
them anxiety, enables 
them to shed off sense of 
humor. Plenty of 
apprehensive situations 
can be driven out by a 
placid remarks
Be Passionate to Students 
Good teachers are 
passionate and 
enthusiastic at all 
times. They get eager 
at a ball game. They 
show great interest in 
creating the model for 
the social studies 
exhibit.
Be a Conservationist. 
Good teachers are good 
conservationists. Their 
voices are affectionate, 
distinct, and well-modulated. 
Children are 
eager to partake, as 
teachers provide and 
trigger an invitation for a 
hearty discussion.
Learn to Cooperate with 
many 
Good teachers 
encourage cooperation 
in the class with saying 
phrases like, “It is our 
class”, “We had a fine 
program” or say with 
compassion the 
phrases,
Have Faith in the Students 
Good teachers 
have faith on the 
capabilities of the 
children. They 
deem that all 
healthy pupils try 
their best in every 
task given to them
Good Teachers believe in 
High Standards 
Good teachers set high 
standards to their students. 
Each pupil’s performance is 
appraised in terms of his 
individual capacity. The 
slow learner’s small 
improvement may embody 
more effort than that of the 
very fast learner’s great 
improvements.
Best way to Survive is 
Consult others 
Good teachers consult 
others. They know that 
they do no have all the 
answers. When pupils 
fail to respond to 
corrective treatment, 
these teachers seek the 
help of parents, a 
counseling teacher, or 
principal
Some Teachers Rule the 
World without Sense
Today’s Problem in Learning 
and Teaching is …..
TEACHING IS A NOBEL PROFESSION 
HOW MUCH WE ARE MAKES THE 
DIFFERENCE ?
