The Simple, Hard Truth About Teaching
Essential Question: Who is the teacher and who is the learner?
Let's talk about things Effective Teachers do. Things that all of us teachers should strive for.
- CARE ABOUT YOUR STUDENTS!!! Create loving relationships, be aware, respect the students.
- Interact directly with students - You can only know what's going on if you are involved!
- Be Enthusiastic!! It rubs off!!!
- Hands-on!!
- Inquiry!!
- Clear goal identification!
- match instruction to learner needs
- Flexible grouping!!
- Be more concerned with understanding the meaning!! Not memorizing!!
- Know your students.
Without these things plus other things, your teaching will not be reaching it's highest potential and therefore neither will your students!! I want my students to be happy, feel loved, and reach their highest potential!!
