Life lessons come first

Information will always be there for us to find, whether it's by flipping a page or clicking a link online. It's a teacher's job to help students learn how to use the most powerful tool available to them ... their minds. Letting them know that making mistakes is OK, teaching them how to learn from their mistakes, and how to reflect, these are the lessons that will last them a lifetime.

Keep it fun

Be silly with the students. It's amazing how their attitude towards learning changes when they feel they can be themselves around the teacher. Plan games and fun activities for them to apply or review what they have learned, because which child wants to listen to an adult speaking for a whole year ?!

No free answers

Students need to work for the answers to their questions. If a student asks "How do you spell ....?" , reply with "You tell me! Break the sounds down and have a go." Help them build the habit of thinking for themselves and becoming risk takers.

Every child is unique

Each student has their own way of understanding things. Make sure lessons and assessments are catered to all learning styles in the classroom. encourage student inquiry and Create generations of thinkers and problem solvers who will make our world a more peaceful place with more compassion and understanding.
