By Cynthia Thomas


Teachers are one of the most vital people for every person because they are helping to improve and develop students in having their own knowledge and personality. That is why using the best methods possible is essential for them in doing this to everyone in their class and not only the few ones. This is because they keep on improving and learning their abilities still.

School districts are offering programs usually every year in helping teachers develop skills to help their students better. Improving instruction seminars are attended by them where what they learned are then applied to their classroom setting. Here are a few common tops which are taught at seminars for better improvement of class experience.

Most students are confused, bored or afraid which leads in academic failure so better be helping them combat the fears when they manifest as apathy. Their fear in failing is hidden with the use of apathy and other concerns also include unwanted pregnancies, substance abuse and physical appearance. Encourage them in having abilities for doing the given tasks to alleviate the fear they have.

Teachers usually use class behaviors as a measurement in determining the grades a student will get instead of their academic accomplishments. Passing grades are given when you are almost always present and higher ones are for those who do more during lessons. Measure instead their skills to recall, comprehend, apply, analyze, synthesize and evaluate.

Ask questions to make their critical thinking be used and not answering only those requiring them to memorize only the description and details. Involve them emotionally because this helps in reducing the achievement gaps between some racial groups. Critically thinking should be practiced because of the usefulness of this skill during tests.

Covering all specified topics within a textbook is more or less impossible so never be compelled in doing so specially when the long time that took in writing them makes other topics obsolete. Many other sources are there that help in remembering information. Teach them in using these sources and in practicing the organization of information of what was learned.

Local and state standards must be used for promoting the things students were required to do and know when in global community. Mathematics, science, history or social studies, and literature are core subjects where the standards are clearly followed. The bottom line is their ability though to gather important information about the surrounding environment and themselves then make decisions with them as basis.

Respect what are the things they know specially the difference of opinions concerning certain subject matters in helping their knowledge be farther taken away. Presenting the facts together with particular evidences and then allowing a debate over them is possible to do. There are various approaches available which depends on core subject.

Emphasize that reading is important with organized frameworks according to their purposes such as for information, literary experience and to perform task. Literary experience have different aspects to consider such as developing interpretation, initial understanding and personal reflection plus response.
