Subscribe1. Address students by name
Amanda Muffler from Utah recommends that teachers address each student by name at least once a day. In her view, this simple action increases student engagement, as when a child knows they are noticed, they feel important and become more active - writes Education Wee.
2. Use "Exit Tickets" effectively
Dr. Caposi, an author of educational books, advises utilizing the last minutes of the lesson for "quick checks" or "Exit Tickets." This allows teachers to quickly assess the level of material comprehension and provide students with the necessary help or assignments for the next lesson. Such an approach helps parents keep track of their children's progress, as students can immediately send them their results or grades.
3. Amplify students' voices
Cindy Garcia from Texas suggests giving students the opportunity to actively participate in learning through SWiRL - a method that includes speaking, writing, reading, and listening. Teachers can instantly provide feedback and help students better understand the material.
4. Optimal learning experience
Trainer Megan Giroux recommends adhering to the "just-in-time" principle. Instead of moving the entire class to the next task simultaneously, Giroux suggests adapting the learning pace to meet the needs of each group. Students work at their own rhythm, which reduces boredom and frustration.
5. Foster responsibility in the classroom
Educators recommend involving students in discussions so that children can learn from one another. The practice of brief writing or reading aloud can help develop vocabulary and confidence in speaking.
American teachers provide simple advice, but their implementation creates a positive classroom environment where every student feels noticed and important, making learning a process in which children willingly participate.
