Content: Rapport/Constant communication
Keeping in touch with students is key to knowing their worries. Teachers should not be afraid to ask the hard questions to their students. Look for a way to strike rapport with your students especially the reserved ones. The questions could help unearth a problem or challenge facing a student. Some kids have low self esteem and only a one on one sessions with a teacher helps them open up what is disturbing them. 2. Switching teaching strategies/Materials. Teachers need to vary their teaching methods teaching and never stick to one. For example, a text can be read, acted, turned into a poem, into informative flyers and adverts!!!!!A single repetitive method of teaching is boring to any student. Some of the ways of teaching are classroom participation, alliteration, demonstrations and checking for understanding (CFU’S).
