Top 10 Teaching Tips!
Curriculum
Find a lesson appropriate for the age of audience and the program setting. If you use a higher level lesson, students will understand a little and if you teach a lesson lower than the level they are, they get bored soon.
Be Prepared
Practice your program. Don"t wing it, it doesn"t work. Have your supplies and a few extra copies just in case. You may even ask for volunteers to set the facilities you need in the class. This encourages students to take part in the activities
Have a Plan
Know your lesson and how you are going to present it. Think it through; ask yourself questions about what you will say when and how. Lesson plan is your guide in your sojourn in the classroom. If you don"t know something because you had not prepared the lesson, don’t use tricks such as, "answer this question at home" or "I don"t explain this, because you have not studies". Students are cleverer than we think!
Have Supplies
Have your supplies early and bring extra. Let the students waste some of your supplies, even.
Speak Loudly
You can"t teach them if they can"t hear you. Don"t scream! Speak as loud as you think everybody hears you and nobody is annoyed!
6. Always be Positive
If you have an individual or group say something in front of the group, be very careful about correcting them. Be supportive in their ideas. After all, you did ask for their opinion. Beware of Jokes; what is funny to you is not necessarily funny to everyone else.
On Time
If you are early, you are on time; if you are late, you are left! Make sure you have plenty of time to set and tear down your display and supplies! Don’t forget: " Early to bed and early to rise, make a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.!"
Appearance
The better you look, the better your presentation; be comfortable but professional. Students are not comfortable with a formal teacher , always in his black suit. Change your clothes off and on, attract their love and be a good model for them. When asked, most of the students say they want to become a teacher in the future; don"t deteriorate their dreams!
Use the Opening/have a Closing
A good opening makes everybody warm. Without warm up section, you will have awful muscle-ache!
Don"t forget to say "Thank You"
"Great!", "Well done!", "Excellent!", "Clap!", "Good!", etc. are magic words. Use them appropriately, as much as possible
