Connect the dots in a puzzle using only 4

A teacher who is attempting
to teach without inspiring
the pupil with a desire to
learn is hammering on a cold
iron.
Horace Mann
Students enjoy well- designed
learning games.
Students respond to
Challenges.
And can make outstanding
educational progress in the
proper setting.
And
To do this they need:
Teachers feel empowered.
Arsenal of teaching strategies make
their students succeed.
Can build a sense of community and
a family feeling for students and
teachers alike.
It makes most challenging students
sit in the class and allow the teacher
to teach and the students to learn.
Classroom procedure are different from
classroom rules.
A procedure is something you want to do
many times a day
The most common procedure are:
Paying attention to the teachers
Being seated
Handing in/out papers/notebooks
Getting pencil sharpened
Raising hands
The more orderly your class performs
procedure like these less hair you will
lose.
Use this technique whenever you want to
quickly gain the attention of your class
for maximum effect, occasionally vary of
your tone of voice.
Follow directions quickly.
Raise your hand for permission to speak.
Raise your hand for permission to leave your
seat.
Make smart choices.
Keep your dear teacher happy.
It’s a crucial power teaching skill. Teachers must learn to speak more briefly. The longer we talk the more students we lose.
Research show that the students learn the most when they teach
Frequently reward for positive behaviour and penalize for negative behaviour
Observe plus/minus rule and keep positive and negative rule scores within three points
‘Its cool’ is the
most easiest and
painless way of
correcting errors.
Telling you class
that it is a difficult
topic and its okay
to make a
mistake.
We never want our
students to say “I
can’t” these are two
of the most mind
crippling words in our
language. Instead of “i
can’t” instruct the
students to say “ I
can’t yet”
There are various reasons for which students raise their hands. This gesture can be used that the student wants to ask a questions.
You can also change the gesture if you like

Unavoidable
situations
• Large numbers of children with whom teacher needs to develop relationships
• Lack of time to spend with individuals
• We find it easier to develop positive relationships with some. (Why is that?)
• Some children are actively suspicious of, and unfamiliar with, positive relationships.
(Particularly students who come from the culture of poverty.)
The importance of positive behavior in a role
model can’t be emphasized enough. Kindness
and humor shown in a business-like, task-
oriented atmosphere is pivotal. When
students feel cared about, they want to
cooperate, not misbehave.
Make eye contact by scanning the entire
room as you speak
Freely move about all sections of the
room
Deliberately move toward and be close
to each student in the room
Attribute ownership of ideas to the
student who originated them “Abdullah
has just added to Abiyah’s idea by
saying that…”
Allow and encourage ALL students to be part of classroom discussions
Provide appropriate “wait time.”
Emphasize right parts of wrong answers
Encourage collaboration
Restate or rephrase the question
Give hints or clues
Provide the answer and ask for elaboration
Teacher-student relationships are critical to
the success of the two other aspects of
classroom management – rules and
procedures and disciplinary interventions
To build good relationships, communicate
appropriate levels of dominance and let
students know you are in control of the class
and are willing and able to lead
