usually neglect. This is a spiritual talk. As all of us know that all human beings are made up of the mind,
body, and soul. Each one of which has its virtues. Find below the virtues or sanskaras of each:
them to act correctly. Teach them empathy over fear. Teach them why honesty is important? Reward them for being honest… Such soft skills can be taught only by a teacher.
Always remember that the virtues of the mind, body and soul that we had talked about can be brought out more powerfully in children and show them the right path. All this is possible through educating them rightly.
A study has proven that a great teacher must possess the following skills
Leadership. …
Communication. …
Teamwork. …
Problem Solving. …
Social and Emotional Intelligence. …
Cultural Competence. …
Nine-Tenths of education is encouragement
— Anatole France
Following are some skills that a teacher must have to be successful and
be in the right path of teaching
Subject knowledge has a very important role to play because high-quality teaching rests on teachers understanding the subjects they are teaching, knowing the structure and sequencing of concepts, developing factual knowledge essential to each subject and guiding their pupils properly. They can simplify the topic into main points that can easily be understood by the learners. You should know the material well before you can deliver the message effectively. The classroom performance can be improved to a greater extent by better preparation.
Of course to some extent you should depend on the organization to give you a standard curriculum. But the best parts of the course are the parts you could not possibly standardize. Don’t be afraid to be creative!
Varying the pitch, volume, quality, and rate of your voice enhances your expressiveness and overall style. The professional actors you hear doing cartoon voices make it sound easy which in hand enhances your teaching and interests the learners.
Physical gestures – such as sweeping the air with hands – help you clarify, describe, and emphasize points. Gesturing and moving about the room can help constructively use up some of your nervous energy.
Be sure that you can be seen and heard by students seated at various points in the classroom. Break away from the podium, desk, or chalkboard.
Try to use constructive (i.e. non-hostile) humor, you can show cartoons or tell funny stories that relate a point, put stickers that say, “Good job!” on assignments well done. Students learn more when they are having fun.
The use of suspense makes the material more intriguing for students. They tend to concentrate more on the subject. Try developing an “anticipatory set” at the beginning of a class, a question which you will answer at the end of the class.
Of course, to have the self confidence and energy to use surprising behaviors, jokes, and other techniques, you must prepare. In order to be enthused in the classroom, you must capture the passion for the subject matter and for the teaching-learning process.
Your dramatic skills will also help you manage uncomfortable situations in the classroom. You can prepare some props and keep them handy to identify what behavior you are expecting.
My best teachers were those who were willing to keep explaining, knowing that eventually it would make sense. They were willing to wait until a distraction calmed students down, or abandon a lesson entirely if it needed to be revisited.
Research has shown that each child is unique and has different learning styles and capabilities. A child can be a slow learner and some can be very fast learners. Also learning styles may differ, some may want to read and learn, some may want to listen and learn while others may want to write and learn. Keeping all this in mind helps bring out the patience in you.
The best teachers laugh off their mistakes. Where some teachers get frustrated, good teachers leave the mess, even joking about the mess up, and go on about the lesson.
Teaching with humor, compassion, and conviction are the attributes of a good teacher. The best teachers have a sixth sense when a student needed extra attention and gave it gladly. They take time to discuss subjects outside their teaching, knowing that sometimes lessons can still be taught without following the textbook. Good teachers are willing to speak up for the children, if need be.
Good teachers have understanding – not only the sixth sense as mentioned earlier, but a true understanding of how to teach. They don’t have a rigid technique that they insist on using even if it doesn’t help the students learn.
The best teachers encourage the sharing of ideas and offer incentives (like not having to do homework for a day) to get students to think outside the box. They don’t tolerate students badmouthing other teachers, doing their best to point out that other teachers are human too. They encourage students to be good people, not just good memorizers of text.
The best teachers know that everyone can do well if they have the right teacher. They don’t accept that a student is a lost cause. They encourage if you are frustrated and provide true belief that you can get the material.
The best teachers are those who don’t stop teaching when the bell rings. They know that some need extra attention or assistance and they don’t act like its not their job. They take that job seriously and know they aren’t just employed to get students to be able to do higher math, but to do well in life.
The best teachers aren’t just interested in their subject, they are passionate about it. They are also passionate about many other things. They praise good weather and smile when they take a few minutes to discuss something out of the topic.
Many classroom management plans begin with the teacher’s philosophy of teaching, controlling and motivating.
A classroom management plan is designed to help you get and maintain control of the classroom. It helps instructors know how to deal with unwanted behavior such as showing up late, a rude attitude, or incomplete assignments.
Be as specific and detailed as possible. Write down the points so that students can be able to take note as required.
Every organization has its own set of guidelines for classroom management, such as number of absences allowed, when late work needs to be turned in, and the deadline for dropping a class. Build off these to create a positive classroom environment for your students.
Classroom management is not just punishing students who behave poorly. It is also about practicing preventative measures that help you get control of a classroom before someone misbehaves.
It is important that you follow these rules, too. Set the example for students and let them know they can trust you to keep your word.
Communicate consequences upfront so students know what to expect when they behave inappropriately. These can be explained on the first day of class, put a poster in the classroom, or include it in the course syllabus. Be as specific as possible. Then be sure to follow through. You could also go a step ahead and show the consequences to obey the rules.
Being vigilant in the classroom is the best way not only to catch students cheating, but to prevent cheating from happening in the first place. Always greet students as they come into the classroom. Look at their hands/arms to make sure they didn’t turn them into cheat sheets…
You need to stand out, catch their attention and hold it.
Be vocal. Have an opinion and make sure you submit it at an appropriate time. Avoid talking too much and/or being too opinionated.
Be passionate about what you are teaching. Wide eyes, a grin, and barely suppressed enthusiasm does wonders for a student.
Go that extra mile….Do more than the average teacher is expected to do. If students fail to do the work on time, call them after class and go through the entire assignment with them.
Put an effort into your appearance. You need to make a good impression, make sure you walk into the class looking good. Try to dress a little better or differently than the average person.
If a student looks unwell call them out after the class and ask them if they are alright. Try to keep yourself semi-occupied when you do this. Look at them when you ask but don’t keep staring at them until they answer you.
If you see a problem or issue worth tackling, bring it up. Tell the students you want to do something about it and ask them what you think. Deal with the problem together and you’ll make a difference together.
Tell your entire class what you expect of them. What you want them to become. What kind of contributions you want them to make in their studies and in the world. Be passionate and be genuine. Make sure not to deliver it at the beginning of the class as it may bring about the opposite motivation. Do it gradually.
If you can’t bring yourself to care enough to really bring an outstanding effort to your teaching, in terms of planning, preparation, and delivery, there is nothing I or anyone else can tell you that can make you a good teacher.
If you can’t bring yourself to come in excited and enthusiastic for your lesson and love it like it’s the greatest thing in the world your students will know.
It’s much better to do the best you can in the time you have to do it, and to choose what you think is most important, than it is to expose the students to every little detail.
Teaching is as much about learning what works for students (just remind yourself of when you were once a student) as it is about learning what works for you.
Do not talk slowly and deliberately. If you are generally a slow speaker try speaking faster than usual.
Don’t put yourself out as a ‘friend not teacher’. You need to respect the boundary here. You are a teacher, just a really good and different one.
If you are having a bad day, don’t let it show. If you are upset or angry, don’t let it show. You need to be a superhero figure here.
Make your involvement seem effortless. Whether you’re teaching, talking, listening, clearing up your desk, reading something, etc. Remember that in all your acts you are imparting education to the young minds. After all you are the role model.
Do not be over-attentive.
Do not smile too much and don’t smile at the whole class. Smile occasionally and to a specific person.
You are fallible and you should admit to your students when you have done something that you wished you had done better.
Model what you expect them to do. If you expect them to solve problems, solve some similar examples for them in class.
Give them practice.
Your evaluation or tests should be based on the original objective. It should evaluate how the students met the objectives you set out when planning your lessons.
You should be at least 1-2 weeks ahead in terms of your lesson plan.
It is never too late to start and implement these tips and ideas.
As any good teacher knows, each student is unique and students do not learn in the same way.
It is common for a class of students to be at a variety of levels in any particular subject.
Teachers need to use different teaching methods in order to reach all students effectively.
A variety of teaching strategies are available like brain-targeted teaching, the discovery approach, conceptual approach, process approach, inquiry approach, integrated methods etc.
There are also certain tools like the multiple intelligence assessment tool. This assessment can be done for anyone above two years of age.
It is a unique, scientific & revolutionary technology to identify the inborn potential, skills, abilities, and talents of a person.
It is also known as Brain Mapping.
It gives
a better understanding of child
a better compatibility with family and teachers
stress-free lifestyle
satisfaction in education and daily life
It helps in shaping a balanced, happy, amazing, and a successful individual.
It helps you understand the personal strengths and weaknesses of exploration and remedies for improvement.
It helps you unwind the genius in you.
Gives parenting tips on personality, for example, you may be a kinesthetic learner but assumed as hyperactive.
Enhance learning by identifying learning and acquiring style.
Personalize academic and extracurricular activities, for example, under pressure we might have joined taekwondo class while interested in learning music.
Boost confidence and make socialization earlier, for example, low inter-personal intelligence makes it hard to mix up with people.
Benefits of timely Talent identification
Understanding ASPIRATION vs REALITY
Understanding “NEED” of an individual
Pursue Right hobbies based on best abilities
RIGHT stream and career SELECTION for SUCCESS
Understand the STRENGTH & WEAKNESS
Understand Learning Obstacles to handle it justly
MINIMIZE TIME & Financial expenses on unnecessary courses
Whatever may be the teaching strategies, techniques, tactics, tools or approach overemphasizing skills and neglecting knowledge truly denies how a child learns. Cognitive skills are not acquired without context. Even with entertainment one does not cycle through different movies. Instead one watches a movie from beginning to end.
Distance education or distance learning, is a field of education that focuses on teaching methods and technology with the aim of delivering teaching to students who are not physically present in a traditional educational setting such as a classroom. It can be synchronous (when all students are present at the same time but may be at different locations) and asynchronous mode of delivery gives more flexibility to the students and they can access the course material on their own schedule.
I present the same lessons in the same manner that I have used in the past,
I seek no feedback from my students
I do not analyze and evaluate their work in a manner that changes my own emphasis, and timing,
I do not visit or observe other adults as they teach,
I do not share the work of my students with colleagues for feedback, suggestions, and critiques,
I do not visit other schools or attend particular workshops or seminars or read professional literature on aspects of my teaching,
I do not welcome visitors with experience and expertise to observe and provide feedback to me on my classroom practice,
I have no yearly individualized professional development plan focused on classroom changes to improve student learning
I have no systemic evaluation of my teaching
I spend most of the time either criticizing the students, their work and potential or criticizing the other teachers and criticizing the organization, managers and heads.
Then
I have absolutely no way to become better as a teacher.
