Advice for teachers when they are teaching:
Ø Listen to them and make sure they hear everything the student is saying.
Ø If the student is hyperventilating, tell them to take a deep breath and speak again.
Ø If the student is not listening to you, stop, and get their attention.
Ø Speak clearly to ensure the student is hearing you.
Ø If the student isn’t speaking clearly, be polite and first say excuse me and then tell him/her to start his sentence over.
Ø Keep your desk neat and clean so you don’t loose your student's papers.
Ø Make a homework box and put it out side your door in case the student forgot to hand in his or her homework, they can put it in.
Ø Be kind to the student if they are having a bad day.
Ø Take the time to ask the student if he or she is ok so that
they can express their feelings.
Ø Make the class entertaining so the kids want to pay attention.
Ø Never yell at or embarress your students because they have to feel like that for the rest of the day.
This is a students view on their every day lives at school. I’m sure they would appreciate you to do this!
