How to be an Active Teacher?

There are many ways to be an Active Teacher.

Enjoy Teaching

Make your lessons live by making it as interactive and engaging as possible, instead of only reading the instructions out of a textbook.

Enjoy every teaching moment to the fullest.

 Make a Difference

Make a difference in children’s lives. How? Make them feel special, safe and secure when they are in your classroom.

Be the positive influence in their lives. Why? You never know what your students went through before entering your classroom on a particular day or what conditions they are going home to after your class. So, just in case they are not getting enough support from home, at least you will make a difference and provide that to them.

 Spread Positivity

Bring positive energy into the classroom every single day.

Flash a beautiful smile as much as possible throughout the day.

Learn to put on a mask in front of the students and let them think of you as a superhero! (it will make your day too)

Be someone who is always positive, happy and smiling.

 Get Personal

Get to know your students and their interests so that you can find ways to connect with them.

Don't forget to also tell them about yours!

In the beginning of the school year, make it known that children and their parents can come to you about anything at anytime of the year.

 Give Your Best

Whether you are delivering a lesson, writing report cards or offering support to a colleague - give your best!

Do your job for the love of teaching and not because you feel obligated to do it.

Do it for self-growth. Do it to inspire others.

 Be Open-Minded

As a teacher, you will be observed formally or informally.

Be open-minded when receiving constructive criticism.

Nobody is perfect and there is always room for improvement.

 Set Standards

Create standards for your students and for yourself.

Remember, you can only expect a lot if you give a lot.

 Find Inspiration

Find inspiration from as many sources as you can. Whether it comes from books, educational websites, YouTube, Facebook, blogs or what have you, keep finding it!
