I choose the three tips below not only because I consider them teaching "building blocks," but because all of them, at one time or another, have been challenges for me. On to it, then:
1. Plan:
This is crucial and the more you do it, the better. Some teachers write 7 step lesson plans and rehearse in front of their cats the night before. More power to them. At least look over the book and have the requisite materials ready. Writing down the homework helps the next day and in grading, for not only will planning help you prepare for future lessons, it will also serve as a record of your achievements.
Follow up:
2. Correct work consistently and return on time:Paper correcting has bedeviled me since I started teaching; I find it incredibly boring. The fact of the matter is, however, that many students won't do work unless it "counts." Correcting work shows you care and allows you to know your students' strengths and weaknesses. Try to get it back quick and you'll see more productive students.
3. Don't sit down during class:Whether you're lecturing or just observing, walk around the class as they're working. You'll be amazed at the stuff you find. Also, many students who won't ask a question in a large group will let you know their issues as you pass by. This is the most one-on-one most teachers will get with students.
For me the best teacher must have good at explaining things,keep their cool, have sense of humor, have common sense,and are good managers of time.All of these qualities define some of the characteristics of good teachers. If it is not your goal to become a good teacher at the very least, perhaps thinking about the above will help you see other career alternatives. A good idea, when first making such a decision, is to talk to teachers. Find out what they do, and what led them into teaching. Do a personal inventory of your own values, personality, preferences and goals. But, whatever you do, don't go into teaching simply because you love kids!
