Having organized lessons ahead of time means classes can proceed at a pace conducive to your student's level of interest. Additionally, being organized and prepared means a more certain teacher.
On a broader level, a lesson plan for the year, whether in outline or in more comprehensive form, will remind teachers where they are at each stage of the year. Flexibility Though your lesson plan may be detailed down to the smallest detail, be prepared to change things on the drop of a dime.
If an exercise doesn't seem to hold the students interest be flexible and change direction, even if only for that one section.
Disruptions are a part of classroom life and a good teacher will need to be able to flow with it instead of fight it. Caring Show your students that you care about them. Only go through the motions and your students are certain to do the same. Showing you care may mean listening to student concerns, offering a compliment, flashing a smile or even a supporting hand on the shoulder.
This creates a comfortable environment where students will ultimately feel more comfortable expressing themselves and learning new concepts. Parents also need to understand the level of concern you have for their children as this will propel them to encourage their child. Discipline Discipline with grace whenever possible. Disruptions do happen, and dealing with these disruptions in a way that maintains everyone's integrity is important. Always consider addressing the classroom as a whole rather than singling a student out when possible.
Embarrassing a student is a sure way to turn him against you. If direct confrontation is necessary, speaking to a child in private is always a much preferable strategy. Humor Classrooms can regularly become cauldrons of anxiety due to demands of a specific subject, required examinations or outside influences. Before a disruption reaches the ignition stage, the ability to occasionally laugh, and encourage your students to join in, can place the lesson back on track and develop a sense of camaraderie between student and teacher.
Cultivating Student Leadership in the Classroom. Leadership: simply stated, is someone who has the ability to alter the behavior of others. I have always had a natural ability and a love of teaching. I want to impart and gain knowledge from children.

If the only classroom teaching strategy you know is traditional lecturing, that's the teaching tool that you're likely to use for all classroom situations.
If, on the other hand, you have more tools in your toolbox, you will have the opportunity to choose the most appropriate tool for the task at hand. The teacher uses knowledge of effective verbal, nonverbal, media, and technological communication techniques to foster active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction in the classroom.
Much of teaching is about sending and receiving messages. Carefully planned and skillfully delivered messages can issue invitations to students that school is a place to share ideas, investigate, create, and collaborate with others.
School can be a place to be understood as well as a place to gain understanding. But without intentional considerations and planning, the messages actually received by the students can be conflicting, confusing, or discouraging.
For this reason, teachers need to monitor their personal verbal and nonverbal communication so it is characterized by clarity, organization, enthusiasm, and sensitivity. Effective teachers consistently use active listening skills as well. These include the use of paraphrasing, perception checking, and clarifying questions. Effective teachers also recognize the increasing importance of technology as a tool for student learning and as a major communication resource to be developed.

The fruit of being an effective teacher…. Teddy's letter came today, and now that I've read it, I will place it in my cedar chest with the other things that are important in my life. I have not seen Teddy Stallard since he was a student in my 5th grade class, 15 years ago. It was early in my career, and I had only been teaching two years. From the first day he stepped into my classroom, I disliked Teddy. Teachers although everyone knows differently are not supposed to have favorites in a class, but most especially are not supposed to show dislike for a child, any child.
Nevertheless, every year there are one or two children that one cannot help but be attached to, for teachers are human, and it is human nature to like bright, pretty, intelligent people, whether they are 10 years old or And sometimes, not too often, fortunately, there will be one or two students to whom the teacher just can't seem to relate. I had thought myself quite capable of handling my personal feelings along that line until Teddy walked into my life.
There wasn't a child I particularly liked that year, but Teddy was most assuredly one I disliked. He was dirty. Not just occasionally, but all the time. His hair hung low over his ears, and he actually had to hold it out of his eyes as he wrote his papers in class.
And this was before it was fashionable to do so! Too, he had a peculiar odor about him which I could never identify. His physical faults were many, and his intellect left a lot to be desired, also. By the end of the first week I knew he was hopelessly behind the others. Not only was he behind; he was just plain slow! I began to withdraw from him immediately. Any teacher will tell you that it's more of a pleasure to teach a bright child.
It is definitely more rewarding for one's ego. But any teacher worth her credentials can channel work to the bright child, keeping him challenged and learning, while she puts her major effort on the slower ones. Any teacher can do this. Most teachers do it, but I didn't, not that year.
In fact, I concentrated on my best students and let the others follow along as best they could. Ashamed as I am to admit it, I took perverse pleasure in using my red pen; and each time I came to Teddy's papers, the cross marks and they were many were always a little larger and a little redder than necessary. While I did not actually ridicule the boy, my attitude was obviously quite apparent to the class, for he quickly became the class "goat", the outcast -- the unlovable and the unloved.
He knew I didn't like him, but he didn't know why. Nor did I know -- then or now -- why I felt such an intense dislike for him. All I know is that he was a little boy no one cared about, and I made no effort in his behalf.
The days rolled by. We made it through the Fall Festival and the Thanksgiving holidays, and I continued marking happily with my red pen. As the Christmas holidays approached, I knew that Teddy would never catch up in time to be promoted to the sixth grade level. He would be a repeater. To justify myself, I went to his cumulative folder from time to time. He had very low grades for the first four years, but not grade failure. How he had made it, I didn't know.
I closed my mind to personal remarks. First grade: Teddy shows promise by work and attitude, but has poor home situation. Second grade: Teddy could do better. Mother terminally ill. He receives little help at home. Third grade: Teddy is a pleasant boy. Helpful, but too serious. Slow learner. Mother passed away at end of year. Teachers who do not enjoy their job will find it nearly impossible to be effective day in and day out.
Caring, compassionate, generous, responsible, kind-hearted and patient. They are prepared to answer questions and keep the material interesting for the students.
