How To Develop Great Teaching Skills
Teaching a class of students is much harder than most people imagine. Not only do you need the knowledge of different subjects in order to pass it on, but a wide range of other skills is also necessary to keep control over a large group, and engage them - even when the topic isn't the most exciting. This can provide you with a real challenge, but as we are about to find out, it becomes far easier when you begin to develop new teaching skills and techniques.


Improving your skills as a teacher takes effort, but once you begin to gain a better understanding of the 'tricks of the trade', you can implement countless simple measures to increase the effectiveness of your lessons - in no time at all.

One of the areas where most people slip up when it comes to being a success in the teaching industry is time management. Organizing yourself in the right way actually saves time in the long run, though at that moment, it can seem too strenuous to bother with. Create yourself an easy-to-follow, realistic schedule; by putting aside time slots during the week where you will dedicate yourself to specific jobs, you can ensure you complete all of your tasks in advance - something which benefits both you and your students.

For instance, it may be a good idea to save a couple of hours per week to prepare for any practical activities you plan to carry out with your class in the coming days, with some additional time allocated to talking with students about any concepts they didn't quite grasp. Remember: your teaching skills will often be measured by the success of your pupils; are they meeting their targets? If not, why?

Another simple measure you can take to enhance your skill collection is through analyzing all of the work you do. Look at all the activities you have done with a class, be they practical or theoretically based. Note what went well, and what could have been better. If you refer to this next time you do something similar, you can incorporate the bits which seemed to have a positive effect, and try something else in replacement of the things that needed to be improved. This way, you will end up with an array of exercises that are productive and worthwhile.

Being resourceful is instrumental should you want to ascend to the ultimate layer of teaching. Don't be afraid to ask others with experience what approach they take with their classes, about activities that they think were very successful, or for details on any courses or books they read that helped them understand the classroom environment more than before hand.

By combining these easy suggestions with your own personal knowledge and experience, you could well start to bank more and more teaching skills straight away. Hopefully, you can implement these in your classroom, simply adapting them for different age and ability groups. Students enjoying themselves - but still achieving their anticipated targets - is one of the most accurate signs in telling you that your teaching is going well.***

Changing Instructional Practice: The Impact of Technology Integration on Students, Parents, and School Personnel

Jennifer A. Alexiou-Ray Elizabeth Wilson Vivian H. Wright & Ann-Marie Peirano University of Alabama Abstract Attitudes of students, school personnel, and parents toward technology use within schools are an important and often overlooked component of successful curriculum integration of technology. Due to negative responses toward increased technology use in her classroom, one teacher engaged in an action research study to explore why students, parents, and other school personnel were resistant to technology integration. Students, once accustomed to the changed classroom environment, were excited to be engaged in new types of learning experiences. School personnel were pleased with the accessibility of classroom information and support services technology provided. Lastly, parents noted that though the style of teaching was different, it offered many new possibilities for their children. From the results of the surveys, it appears that much of the initial resistance to technology in

5 Steps to Raising an Optimistic Child

Title : 5 Steps to Raising an Optimistic Child Author : Dr. Tony Fiore Keywords : Teaching, Psychology, Optimistic, Child 5 Steps to Raising an Optimistic Child I had just completed a session with 17-year old Julie who suffered from severe depression. Julie believed she was a total failure and would never be able to change anything in her life. Julie also felt all her shortcomings were her own fault. Where, I ask myself, did such a young person acquire this negative and fatalistic thinking? The answer soon became apparent when I invited her parents into the session. They began discussing numerous life events and explaining them in ways that their children were learning. The car, for example, got dented because you can't trust anybody these days; Mom yelled at brother because she was in a bad mood; you can't get ahead in this world unless you know somebody, etc.

Technology and Civic Empowerment: Toward Inclusion and Participatory Citizenship in the Elementary Social Studies Classroom

Martin Horejsi Beverly B. Ray Idaho State University Introduction The National Council for the Social Studies (2001) defines responsible citizenship as “the knowledge, skills, and attitudes [required if one is to] assume the ‘office of citizen’ in our democratic republic” (p. 319). “A critical purpose of the educational institution in a democratic society is to prepare its citizens for their role as participants in that society…[as]…full and equal citizens” (Lindsay & Justiz, 2001, p. 7). In fact, education for all students is a moral mandate in a civil society (Dewey, 1944; Parker, 2001). To ready students for civil life, America’s public schools are charged with the task of educating all students for responsible citizenship. While opportunities exist throughout the curriculum, elementary social studies classrooms provide many opportunities to foster citizenship skills and dispositions (Parker, 2001; Maxim, 2003). Citizenship education includes helping all students contribute and
