This document provides 10 ways to make teaching more effective:
1. Do audience analysis to understand your students and tailor your lessons accordingly.
2. On the first day, introduce content and objectives, and establish expectations and tone. For openings and closings, use engaging techniques like questions or anecdotes.
3. Prepare thoroughly by deciding what's essential, setting objectives, and structuring lectures into discrete segments. Lecture from notes rather than reading text.
Being a teacher, there can be nothing worse than coming across an unmotivated student. Come to think of it – All your effort to plan and prepare lessons can go waste if the student is not motivated to do better. Trying to encourage a student can often feel like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands. Teenagers are tough to motivate- every teacher remembers that one stubborn student in every class couldn’t be persuaded to move an inch! Or the ones who’d always do the opposite of what was told. And worst of all, the ones who’d mentally be on some other plane of existence entirely!
