Moreover, we need to put in our minds that, while we as teachers should know how to teach the content or the lesson itself, we also need to assure that, while we are teaching the content or the lesson, we are also teaching and transforming the lives of each learner inside the classroom. We need to involve our learners in the teaching and learning process through interactive activities. Explore various strategies to involve our learners to increase both their engagement and retention since learning should take place with them. Teachers could come up with a traditional strategy wherein they will set up activities like think-pair-share, different engaging activities like role play, debate, brainstorming, peer review, and many more to incorporate active learning inside the classroom. Interaction between teachers - students, student - student, students -teachers are very beneficial to teaching and learning process.
