1. Have clear objectives every day and communicate them to your students!

​

Imagine the "Students View" and asked these questions:

​

-What I will learn from this class?

-Why I need to learn this lesson?​

-What I am going to do to learn it?

-How my teacher know I learn the lesson?

-Have a sense of purpose

-Show to students the big picture of your lesson

-Make it relevant to them.​

​What if I fail the first, the second, the third or more times?

Are my failing grades final?

Do I have a second chance?

Is my teacher willing to work with my weaknesses?​

​

​

​

2. Always expect your students to succeed!

-Be positive.

-Be humorous.

-Be consistent.

-Maintain high expectations.​

-Let students know that it is okay to fail.

-Failure is NOT final.​

​

​

-determine which makes your students productive

-​understand their emotional struggles

-know what makes them happy

​Make connecting with your students your goal!

​3. Adapt to your students' need!

The coach/mentor is the other person that sees what you did not see.

-​"Yes, your reflections are correct."

-"Oh, check this first. You might did not see it this way.

​

​

​

​4. Reflect on your teaching methods!

Seek out a mentor/coach.​

​

​We are never too old or wise to have an instructional coach.

-change your lesson delivery​

-change your way of asking warm-up activities​

-change your way of asking learning artifacts

-change your way of giving them a homework assignment.

-use new resources​ or new tools

-change your classroom setup

​

5. Welcome change and try on new ways.
