This document lists 150 different teaching methods that can be used in a classroom setting. These methods range from traditional lectures and discussions led by the teacher, to more innovative techniques like role playing, simulations, projects, and using community resources. The list emphasizes engaging students through active learning methods like debates, presentations, experiments, field trips and other hands-on activities rather than passive listening. It is meant to provide teachers with a large variety of options to choose from to suit different subjects and help all students learn.
