Teacher's teaching skills
There is no teacher who does not want to give an excellent class, no teacher who does not want students to achieve ideal results in exams, and no teacher who does not want to be recognized by students for their proficiency in teaching.
But having vision and enthusiasm alone is not enough. In the process of hard work, you also need to come up with some tips to help you achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Based on the practical experience of frontline teachers, here are some core suggestions to help you be more calm and powerful in teaching. Preparation in advance: not only reading textbooks, but also reading students
1. Prepare for growth and think about what students have gained
When studying textbooks, put yourself in the students' shoes and think about what they can gain from this lesson, or what you can teach them first.
2. Pre set questions are more important than writing lesson plans
When preparing lessons, think more about areas where students may be confused. For example, can students understand and learn to use this writing style in the text? Prepare steps for students in advance, use familiar phenomena from life to analogize, and make abstract knowledge tangible.
3. Simplify the PPT and eliminate more distractions
Don't make the courseware too complicated and flashy. The courseware is only an aid to the class, not a necessity.
Avoid excessive text on each sheet, 1-2 questions are sufficient, and design questions that are concise and focus on the core; There is no need to intersperse too many animations and videos, especially for middle school students, as this will interfere with their attention and have little benefit.
4. After class review: More important than lesson preparation
After class, take a few minutes to write a class reflection: What example did I give today that made students' eyes light up when they listened? Speaking of which question, do students actively interact with each other? Where do students have confused eyes and a dull atmosphere? How should we adjust next time?
Write down these discoveries and reflections, and gradually accumulate your own teaching wisdom.
5. Be good at asking questions and ask more about your thoughts
The questions raised should reflect the level and depth of thinking. Abandon the questioning methods of "yes" and "right", and replace them with "how did you read the author's feelings from this sentence" and "what are the benefits of writing this way? Share your understanding", listen to students' real thoughts, and stimulate effective thinking.
6. When students get stuck, don't go to the emergency room
Someone can't answer, don't rush to call another student. You can say, "Think about it again, did we also mention this writing style in our last class
Guiding students with a 'ladder' approach is more effective in protecting their self-esteem and stimulating their enthusiasm for answering than directly giving answers or changing people.
7. Everyone participates, making every student visible
The classroom is not the main showcase for top students. When asking students questions, design layered tasks and prepare a list of special points:
High difficulty area: For those with strong abilities, ask them to answer challenging questions to stimulate their depth of thinking;
Basic area: Focus on monitoring the target, try to call and answer each one as much as possible, and everyone should participate in the classroom;
Protected area: For those with weak foundations and extremely introverted personalities, try not to let them answer in public unless they are scheduled to answer, in order to avoid dampening their enthusiasm.
8. Speak less on your own and encourage students to speak more
Don't turn the classroom into the teacher's playground. Teachers should not sing a solo performance alone. Instead, they should encourage students to speak and talk more during a class.
For example, in the class summary, "Who can tell you what impressed you the most in this class?" or "What have you learned in this class?", let students summarize on their own; When evaluating a test paper, it is recommended to have the student explain their approach to the question; Evaluate and project representative student essays, and analyze their strengths and weaknesses.
9. Criticize students for sticking to the facts
Students write their questions haphazardly. Instead of saying 'you never take your homework seriously', they should say 'when doing this question, you can write the serial number and make the words clearer'. Based on the current problem, provide suggestions to students on how to improve, so that they understand that I should not always be unable to do it well.
If you keep digging up old accounts, students will feel that you are denying them and will not listen to criticism.
10 . Everyone is equal before the rules
Dealing with problems cannot have double standards. Students with good grades can violate discipline, while students with poor academic performance must abide by it. This will make the rules meaningless.
Regardless of who violates discipline, the same standards should be applied: no one should speak or discuss issues casually during self-study classes, and everyone should do the same. Fairness itself is the best education for students.
11 . Press the pause button on the emotion first when angry“
Don't immediately erupt into emotions when encountering student confrontation or classroom loss of control. Take a deep breath for 5 seconds, control your emotions, learn to step down and wait until after class to deal with any problems.
The emotional stability of teachers can give students a sense of trust and security: when they encounter problems, they can be solved in a better way.
12. Less sarcasm and more encouragement and praise
Students have self-esteem. Repeated criticisms, accusations, and even sarcastic or insulting language in the classroom can leave shadows and scars in a child's heart, which may be difficult to heal for the rest of their life. Many times, the more children praise, the better. No need to be perfect in every class, no need to excel in every exam, no need to constantly worry about whether you are recognized.
As long as you keep students in your heart and respect their pace and ideas, your teaching will gradually become more warm and powerful.
