AGENDA:

It can be said that teaching is designed with the purpose of producing learning and
helping students/learners in the process of their overall development. Teaching learning is a
complex process which involves learners, teacher, teaching learning material, suitable
teaching strategies and conducive learning environment leading to meaningful learning
(NCERT, 2013). For making teaching more effective and learning more long lasting,
teachers must use different teaching strategies which are specific steps, actions, behaviors
or thoughts, teachers use to enhance learning and its production. In this group discussion,

we will be focusing on teaching strategies, its meaning, salient features or characteristics

and importance.

Assessment strategies are methods teachers use to evaluate their students' progress
and plan the content in their lessons. Teachers perform assessments regularly to determine
the next steps in their lessons. If certain students are progressing slower than others, they
can give them individualized attention. If the entire class is performing behind or ahead of
schedule, the teacher can adjust the curriculum accordingly (Career Guide, 2023).

Traditionally, teachers have relied on tests and quizzes to assess progress. Many
alternative assessment strategies exist, however, that are often more effective, subjective
and engaging for students. The key is to use a variety of fair and consistent assessments.
