Be supportive by Myrtisa Strowder

As a new teacher at Cedar Shoals High School you should expect different ways that students learn. To keep children interested in learning you have to try different things to make the lesson plans easier to understand. Having more project groups and playing the question game. If the students understand what they are learning they are willing to do the work. Another thing you need to know that if your students feel like you are supporting them in everything they do. They will most likely do their best. If the student is not getting enough support they will just give up on everything that they are doing. Making sure that the student is on task, and when he /she keep messing up you help them get back on track. Good support will bring out the best in all students. Never be a pushover! Do not let students run over you, because when you are teaching they will always disrupt your class and cause other student not to learn. They will be talking while you are talking or either texting while you are trying to teach. Your student loose respect for you because you let them do what ever they want to do. Always remember to set boundaries this is for your students to understand there are rules to be followed. Such as be prepared for and stay on task. And this is for you to know that there are standards to be met. You should never show you have a favorite student. If a student sees that you are showing favoritism that will cause the rest of the student to disrespect or act out towards you. They want do the work that you give them, and when you tell them to do something they say a smart comment back. Student should never feel like teachers have favorites. The best teachers are the ones who cause students to be successful in life.

  2. Well i really like this peice because you're addressing alot of the wrong or rather mistakes teachers in general commit, especially the favortism. You shouldn't do that at all because some students have bad cases of jealousy or neglect and their minds can't handle that. And those type of kids will always be the one's that are the trouble makers in the class room
