This past show had us hearing from Mr. Anthony Crichlow and Mrs. Marion Dyer. They shared with us some tips for teachers, things that teachers can do to become better at their trade, here are a few:
1. Know why you are there-know your purpose.
2. Prepare- there is nothing worse than walking into the class unprepared.
3. Be consistent- in your methods, your correction, your everything, nothing beats consistency!
4. Listen to the children- they do have something of value to contribute, and they are people, not robots.
5. Keep the lines of communication open, between the parents as well as your fellow teachers.
6. Encourage community in your class.
7. Create empowered students- an empowered student is an independent learner and one who is getting prepared for the world.
8. As a teacher, you don't have to act as if you know everything- thee is nothing wrong in telling your students that you don't know and will do your best to find the answer.
9. Reinvent your classroom every now and then.-switch things up!
10. Mingle with your students- be friendly, but not familiar.
Have a great year!! Enjoy yourself as you empower your young scholars!
