Some advises to help the new teachers

Being in the school for the first time as a student teacher could be exited and nervous for most of the students. I can remember my first experience, I was excited to teach and to deal with young learners however I didn't know how to start and what is the first thing that I have to do. These are some advises could help new training teacher

 

1.      Observe the children while they are learning independently it will help the student's teacher to know the students well and know what they are interested in.

2.      Use big stories with different colorful picture to grab the student's attention and its very good strategy to introduce new lesson.

3.      Ask the students to bring something from their houses that they like or prefer and talk about it in front of his/her friend for this strategy will build their self-esteem.

4.      Involve the multimedia and the popular culture in their learning to hold their attention on the lesson.

5.      In some lessons we can use creative arts such as drama, music and dance to make the learning more effective and fun.

6.      Always remember to keep you introduction of the lesson short because the attention span of the young students is short and they get bored quickly even us if we were doing the same thing for a long time we will get lost.

7.      Don’t forget the important thing about the classroom management which the children should have routines in behaving in the classroom and outside the classroom.

8.      Rewarding the learners and using the good reinforcement are very important to support them to do better and better next time also it will encourage the other students to imitate the student who did well and it build their self-esteem as well.

9.      Treat the students equally and always tell the students what the wrong that he/she did and ask him/her what should to do instead of that.

10.  Sometimes the lesson will not be as you planned for and sometimes the students will not be in the mood or they will not be listening so don’t be upset and be flexible and move to do some fun activity with them so they will be learning without they know that.

11.  The last thing that I want to share it is something I had problem with and one of my college teacher support me to try it and it works well. It was about using role-play and imagination strategy with kindergarten students. At the beginning this strategy could be difficult especially with children however after several time of practicing the students will get used to it. After I used this way of teaching I figure out that my students become good thinkers, solve problems, speak and work collaboratively. On the other hand, be careful of doing role-play for the first time when you have your college mentor or the school mentor observing you.
