THE CHILDREN WE TEACH:
 THE CHILDREN WE TEACH:
• The sad child – needs me desperately. I
must give him all the comfort and security I
have to give.
• The bold child – I like for his vigorous
ways. He needs toning down but not the
extinction of his personality.
• The shy child – is only waiting for my
warm affection to wipe away the film that
hides his true and lovely personality.
THE CHILDREN WE TEACH:
• The good child – is a constant source of
joy to me. I must help him become even
better.
• The bad child – is not really bad –--only
neglected and misguided. I must give him
the attention and guidance to get back on
the right track.
• These children are like melodies that must
be finished.
 Characteristics 21st Century

4 discern effective

their students at school and at
home.

A successful teacher is one that is

connect with his learners and feel
their needs as individuals. Open
and clear communication is the key
to develop a healthy friendly
learning atmosphere inside your
class.

activities, use technology and multimedia
resources and finally make your teaching
student-centred and try your maximum to
relate what you teach to students
immediate environment.

whole class become an hour long comedy routine.

5- Be clear and precise in your instructions.
6- Give room to individualized learning
7- Positive feedback

 “Do not confine
your children to
your own
learning, for
they were born
in another time.”
