Teachers who handle elementary school children better understand the twist and turns involved in handling children at such tender age. There is always a thin line between getting it right and messing up the whole thing when it comes to elementary school teaching. This is why elementary school teachers must always be abreast of success tips that would help them get the best out of the kids under them.
Here, Ms Seyi, a seasoned elementary school teacher, shares her experience and discovery on how best to go about it, if one must do well as an elementary school teacher.
1: It's all about the children.
It's not the big ticket lesson that counts; it's the the hundreds of
little things you do everyday. Things that give the children high
expectations that matters.
2: To change the children's behaviour, you need to change your behaviour.
If you want a stubborn child to change and adhere to rules and
regulations,you must first be humble and adhere to the authority above
you.Show the child the kind of change you want and not orally.
3: Children want recognition
Children do not only want your fifts, rewards or appraisal when they
behave well or score high academically. They also want you to send
positive note to their parents,so their parents can be proud of them.
Make an appraisal note board in your class where the name of every
child that behaves well is written for the whole class to see.
4: Feedback needs to be as fast as possible.
Give the child either written or spoken feedback to help the child
improve or excel higher.
5: Reading makes you a high flier.
As you read books, encourage the children to read also. Not just
textbooks or story books but also texts and quotes from online and
they should paste ut in their class as a reminder of their
achievements as readers..
Succeeding as an elementary school teacher is not a rocket science. All you need is to learn the basic lessons, apply them religiously and you and your pupils would be on top the world.
