Significant applicability and efficiency of any particular style. Effective teachers are enthusiastic, flexible, well organized. They teach children how to learn, clear purpose and explanation, and good thematic knowledge. They also have high expectations, fun and sense of humor. Good work life balance helps to maintain energy levels, teachers maintain concentration, maintain sense of humor, and help to maintain high expectations. The style of education and learning depends on the age of the student, their views as individuals and groups, the gender and ethnic balance, the mix composition, ie streaming or mix. Studies have shown that teaching of mixing ability is often more effective for small and medium capacity students (Devine 2000, Lynch 1989). For particularly competent students, the task is to ensure complete differentiation.

Therefore, the meaning of learning must be the core of teaching. Understanding how children learn is also a precondition for a successful teaching. The children go to school, but they will also study outside the school. School is an experience of development of children's contacts, in fact it is a place to learn and vice versa, even in the natural environment. An important prerequisite for successful teaching is the teacher's understanding of how learning is done and how it is done.
