Answer all the questions in this section
1.1 As a student teacher preparing to teach a diverse Grade 9 classroom in a
SoAfrican school, you are required to:
a) Define the concept of a teaching strategy and explain its importance in lesson
planning.
A teaching strategy is a planned approach or method used by educators to deliver
content effectively and engage learners in the learning process. It involves selecting
techniques that suit the learners’ needs and promote understanding (Shulman, 2004.
Becoming a teacher).
Importance in Lesson Planning
Teaching strategies are crucial because they help teachers organise lessons that
accommodate diverse learners, address different learning styles, and promote
higherorder thinking skills (Nesbit, Leach & Foley, 2004). Effective strategies also
ensure lessons are purposeful, structured, and adaptable to various classroom
situations, which is vital for meeting curriculum goals (Shulman, 2004).
