7 Tricks to Improve Your Teaching Skills – EdTechReview™ (ETR)
Some great ideas on improving your craft
-
1) Uncover the Why
-
sit down and list all the reasons you are teaching a particular course.
-
2) Evaluate Your Performance
-
After the school year ends, stop and think about everything that had transpired. Did you reach your goals for the year? Were there activities that you could improve on? Did your students appreciate you style of teaching? What worked and what didn’t work?
-
3) Let Your Curiosity Lead You
-
Oftentimes, inspiration can hit you while reading an interesting article in a magazine or when you’re strolling around a flea market. Collect everything that catches your eye. A nice photograph for a writing exercise, some quirky trinkets as subjects for art class or a handful of interesting rocks to help explain erosion are all potential classroom activities waiting to be explored.
-
5) Step Back A Little
-
7) Meet with Fellow Teachers
-
Sometimes, inspiration will come from chatting with another teacher. If you have the opportunity to meet with a group of teachers, either form your school or from another, you should grab the chance to interact with them. You’ll never know what you’ll learn from spending the day with fellow teachers. You can all exchange tips and experiences.
