 Re: How to Better yourself as a teacher?
Hmmmm, interesting thread. I was thinking about doing some research on professional development, but considering there is SO MUCH already out there, I decided not to. Anyways, here is my input in no particular order:
1 - read practical articles
2 - associate with others in the same field
3 - go to presentations/conferences
4 - develop your own materials
5 - listen to students' needs and wants and use those to develop your lessons
6 - remember that you are there for the students and not vice-versa
7 - Appreciate your job and look for new ways to teach the same thing! |
