Effective Teaching

Many people can comprehend a subject but few have the strategic ability to educate others about it. Too few do we find teachers with a passion, vision, creativity and intellect to teach students. An effective teacher goes beyond just presenting information to a room full of students. They must develop the work in a display that will engage students and allow them to understand its significance and apply it to everyday life.  A good teacher must have a true passion for their career, patience, and creativity. There are methods, certain techniques that teachers can use to do their job more effectively.

These techniques can include anything from making visuals and games to using some of the latest technology.  Not every student learns best by reading a book. Some students need visuals to understand concepts more clearly. Creating descriptive class or group games are a good method to engage students in the learning process.  I myself am like that, as I wok and understand best with a real life view on how to apply the concepts.  Technology is also a great way for students to learn. Using videos and computer diagrams that would help explain different subjects is a good way to allow students to see and hear the previous knowledge in class lectures.

Teachers could also take the liberty upon themselves to understand their students’ academic needs a little better. Doing things like having students take tests at the beginning of the school year,  forming conferences with students or taking surveys would ensure that teachers could pinpoint specific areas students struggle and need help in. Teaching can be effective if you adapt the techniques or methods to display information that people understand and can apply to life.
