FREE TEACHER GUIDES FROM EDUCATION. COM
Education. com, the first online destination for parents, children and teachers, now offers free guides to help teachers focus on everyday education problems.
‘Developing Your Teaching Style’ is just one of the excellent teacher guides available; example excerpt follows:
Cast your mind back to when you were at school and you will probably remember your teachers having their own individual teaching styles. Some, you might have described as being boring, strict, grumpy or even useless, while others you may have felt were influential or inspiring. However you might have described them, their teaching style was probably not something that came about through conscious thought.
What do your pupils really think of you? In order to maximise a childÂ’s learning potential, a positive and effective teaching style is needed. Plenty of thought should be given to what works well for you and what works best for your pupils. Consider the following questions:
Are you comfortable with the words your pupils would use to describe you?
Are any barriers created by your mannerisms and approach to teaching?
Could any changes in your teaching style allow you to enjoy your job more?
Are you a confident teacher?
Do you allow your pupils to see you have a sense of humour and enjoy theirs?
Education. com also offers teachers daily news, weekly reports on key educational issues, free email, a resource centre, a ‘Virtual Staffroom’ with diary, discussion forum and even games! Find the site at: http://uk. education. com (http://uk. education. com).
