Students work collaboratively to investigate complex issues, develop solutions, and present their findings to peers and teachers.

Teachers guide students through a series of questions to stimulate critical thinking and provoke thoughtful discussion.

Hands-On Labs and Experiments

Practical, hands-on activities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects.

Students conduct experiments, collect data, and analyze results to develop scientific inquiry and problem-solving skills.

Debates and Role-Playing

Organized debates and role-playing activities to explore different perspectives, develop argumentation skills, and enhance communication abilities.

Encourages students to consider diverse viewpoints and articulate their thoughts effectively.

Literature Circles

Differentiated Instruction

Tailors instruction to meet the individual needs, interests, and learning styles of students.
