Is there one teaching method or strategy that is the best?
CORRECT! No
There is no one method that is considered best for all students all of the time. Consider the wide range of diversity within a classroom. Not only will learning styles play a large factor, but background knowledge and experience will affect necessary lesson delivery. In addition, there may be a need for a combination of methods or strategies. To ensure that students are obtaining the highest level of retention, always be conducting action research within your classrooms and monitor and adjust lessons when necessary.
