Article Title: Rethinking Classroom Instruction for Speedy Realization Sustainable Development Goals in Bayelsa State
by Dr Allen A. Agih and Dr Irene Iniye Wodi

Abstract:
Teaching, in the opinion of Clark and Starr (1970), is an attempt to help people acquire some skills, attitude, knowledge and ideas. Again, Clark (1995) saw teaching as the interaction between a teacher and students under the teacher’s responsibility in order to bring about the expected change in the students’ behaviour. This means that the task of the teacher is to create or influence desirable changes in the behaviour of his/her pupils or students. In other words, the teacher is to effect desirable changes in the students by way of interacting with them in and outside the classroom using different methods. Emerging contemporary issues like sustainable development, national development, character development, entrepreneurial education, teaching to acquire employability skills and others require classroom instruction to assume new trend. This paper therefore advocates newer methods of interaction in the school system. This will be discussed under rethinking classroom instruction for speedy realization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Bayelsa State.
