If you are a teacher and plan to move forward with teaching, you must keep in mind a few things, master some habits as well as practice it regularly.
1. Enjoy teaching
You can only enjoy teaching if you keep in mind the children in the class, thinking of their improvement. If you can't make teaching fun yourself, you can't expect kids in your class to have fun learning it. If you can make every moment of the class enjoyable and interactive, then both teaching and learning will be enjoyable.
2. Making a difference:
Teaching means more than just teaching. The biggest task of teachers is to make a difference in the lives of students and make a difference. Make students feel safe, special and important in your class. It is important to create this feeling in your class so that you have a positive effect on them because you do not know what kind of reality or situation they go through before entering the class or returning home after the class. So even if they don't get proper support from the family, at least you can make a difference in their lives.
3. Spread positivity
Enter the classroom every day with a positive attitude. Hold your beautiful smile throughout the day and spread it among the students. Before entering the classroom, leave all your problems, personal adversities behind the door and come to the class with your maximum, maintain this mask and let your students think of you as a super hero. Always with positive and positive energy in the class, just as it spreads, so does the negative. So decide what you want to do.
4. Get to know your students
The greatest feature of a successful teacher is that he knows his students very well and is aware of their interests, strengths and weaknesses, and gives them the necessary support based on this information. In conversations outside the classroom, students can be easily identified in a variety of ways. The better you know your students, the easier it will be to teach.
5. Pour your best
As a teacher, you can expect the best from your students when you can give your best. So pour out your best.
. Be open-minded
The biggest challenge for a teacher is to be open-minded and take constructive criticism positively because you are constantly being criticized by your students and their parents, peers and head teachers. No one is perfect. So use the criticisms as tips for your own improvement.
. Set a standard:
Set an ideal standard of work as a teacher and share it with students so that they understand what kind of work and results you expect from them, and they try their best to meet it.
. Get organized
Plan the tasks, organize them, make a lesson plan for the class. If you organize and take classes according to the plan, you will be able to understand the position of yourself and the students and decide what to do accordingly.
9. Prepare yourself:
You don't have to start from scratch to teach. A skilled and creative teacher does not create everything and all ideas by himself but collects resources from different places. So collect and prepare the necessary resources using regular books, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, blogs etc. to update and enrich yourself.
10. Accept the change:
Everything in life is not planned, we have to change our work due to the situation and need. Your skills will only improve over time if you embrace change and master new things and techniques.
11 Give yourself time and reflect
A skilled teacher constantly thinks about what happens in his class and understands through reflection how to do better, come out of failure. So always give yourself time to improve your skills, think about what was good, what needs to change. Then you will become a skilled teacher.
Remember these eleven tips, practice regularly. You will see that you are in the most beautiful and important profession in the world. Enjoy teaching.
