Make your students go “Ready, set, Learn”
Hello Teachers,
Our job as a teacher is to advantage as many students as possible everyday. It doesn’t mean your students should have the highest test scores, or you have to be the?best math teacher, or all your class should have a 100% attendance rate.?These things take care of themselves. But How do we make our learners passionate?
Well here’s the surprise—it doesn’t have to do with subject matter expertise. It actually is about understanding your role as a facilitator in the 21st-century classroom.
You need to shape your students into problem solvers, critical thinkers and idea creators. You need to give your students the opportunity to create their own ?? ideas and the time to find solutions on their own.
This could be as simple as being quiet ?? for 10 mins in your class and asking students to shoot questions at you after you have completely and thoroughly explained the lesson. The minute you stop talking, and there is a complete silence in the classroom — they will become ?? curious and start exploring for questions to ask you.
?Another example is turning your students into problem solvers and giving them a problem ?? to resolve on their own. One good problem case would be what would be the best seating arrangement for our class and why.
The idea is to expand the reach of your teaching to sustain a healthy classroom environment and to ensure the ability of individuals to fulfill their potential. It is important to take our role as teachers beyond teaching our subjects.
To learn more tips, tricks and strategies on how you can do that, watch this masterclass here.

2 年We need to have pupil teachers internalise the idea that they're no longer the teachers or even guides for their students. They're most certainly not going to be the knowledge banks who feed it to fill the empty receptacles of student-brains! Modern students come in knowing a lot already. Pupil teachers need to imbibe the idea that they are to be active and personalised "facilitators of learning and positive growth" for their class. This means that students who need active teaching should get that, but self-learners may only need course correction. Sometimes all that the teacher needs to do is keep an active self-learner honest or empathetic. Standing at a blackboard and "transacting content from textbook to the classroom" is no longer needed or useful. Teachers need other skills urgently as their primary tool. I'm glad Suraasa focuses on those actively. The quoted phrase is courtesy of a brilliant educator Sushma Nair from whom I heard it first 13 years ago!
