Teaching Technique-"Take the show on the road"
Teaching Technique-“take the show on the road”
This technique will work regardless of the subject matter you are teaching. This concept is valid for any grade level. It has worked for me at grade levels 8 through college.
My explanation to my students was this. We are going to proudly show others what we do, how we do it, how well we do it and particularly how much we enjoy doing it.
Here are some ideas where you can tale your students to do a… Continue

Teach Lifes Lessons part 5- Dress for Success
Teach Life Lessons-Dress for SUCCESS
If your classes are 55 minutes as were mine when I taught, I suggest you use the last 5 minutes to teach Life Lessons. I know you are evaluated on state or national test score results, but our kids need more. (I often wonder what was Bernard Madoff's (he stole millions from his friends) test score or Marshall Applewhite’s ( Heaven’s Gate Suicide cult leader) test score.
I would like to suggest that you teach “Dress… Continue

Teaching Technique-The Reverse Field Trip
I was assigned to a new school. On my first day the principal said. “I have heard of you, you like to take the students on field trips, there will be no field trips at this school.” I have never met the principal before, but his comments did not affect me whatsoever.
My concern is how can I best educate my students? I knew that the lecture method is the technique that is least likely to achieve the results I wanted. I was guilty of the… Continue

Teaching Technique-Call and Response
This is not a NEW Idea. But I have not seen it used in Public Schools. It worked marvelously
for me. I encourage all teachers to give it a try. It Works!
First a little history of the concept.
You have probably seen (on TV) an army group marching, whereas the leader calls out a verbal
command and the entire group responds with some verbal reply.
You have seen a football and/or a basketball team get in a circle,… Continue

Teaching Technique-COACH-4teachers
This will not work for everybody. But it worked for a dear friend of mine. Let us just call him Bob. Bob was the only Caucasian in an all Black school. He was also the only male.
He was 5’6” and weighed 130 pounds. He explained to me that the female teachers in the school were excellent teachers and they were demanding and hard on the students. He said they were ideal mother figures and ruled with an iron hand. He explained that he was reluctant to use… Continue

Teach Lifes Lessons part 3
TEACH LIFE LESSONS – LESSON 3
WHAT IS A GOOD JOB?
I asked my students this question when I taught at Atlanta Technical Institute.
The answers I received were $10.00 an hour, $15.00 and hour and $18.00 an hour.
The answers were all about an hourly wage that was going to be earned.
My reply to my class was this.
Item 1: A good job with respect to wage involves the letter K that is regarding salary.
Not an… Continue

TEACH LIFE’S LESSONS lesson 2
Marketable Skills PLAN B
An education is essential. It is a key that opens doors. It tells potential employers that you are trainable and that you can endure and complete assigned tasks.
Sadly, it does NOT guarantee employment. (I wish it did) Even a job in today’s world is not enough. There is NO “job security”. It does not exist as it once did. In right to work states (The one in which I reside) you may be fired for… Continue

Teaching Technique-LEGACY
Teaching Technique - Legacy
BY DEFINITION: Something handed down from an ancestor or a predecessor or from the past
How do you want your students to remember you?
If you are walking in a local mall and one of your former students sees you then runs to give you a hug and a thank you, would that make you happy.
If you overheard one of your students saying “she is the best teacher I ever had”, How would that make you… Continue

TEACHING TECHNIQUES- Make Learning Fun-Voice OVERS
Teaching Technique -Make Learning FUN using Technology
First let me say I have encountered many teachers who think
that teachers should NOT try to make learning fun, they believe that learning is and should be laborious. They believe you have to “burn the midnight oil” and you experience PAIN to learn. They say “NO PAIN NO GAIN”.
Let us agree to disagree. I made the Deans list in college and enjoyed every… Continue

TEACHING TECHNIQUES- Student Survey Sheet
TEACHING TECHNIQUE-Student Survey Sheet
I took an assignment teaching HTML and Web Site design at a local technical college. The classes were going well but something inspired me to try this concept.
I created a questionnaire. The questions were judiciously created. I had questions on the list in which I was not really interested, such as; what is your favorite color?’ what is your favorite season of the… Continue

My Educational Paradigm
My students are my customers. NO!
My students are my clients!
The word client implies a long time relationship
whereas customer may be a one-shot deal. I am a life-long Learner but more importantly I am a LIFE- LONG TEACHER. My students will always be my students.
If my students are my clients,… Continue

Let Kids Teach Kids
This techniques works best in high and middle school. The idea is that the instructors
introduces and teachers specific concepts and the allows his or her student to teach the same
concept to students in a much lower grade.
For example, a Biology teacher, after teaching concepts about the heart in animals can create a
Biology show where he allows his Biology students to teach the same concepts… Continue

Ask and it shall be given
I was teaching Chemistry in school system to be unnamed (The name has been excluded to protect
the innocent). The lab equipment was so outdated, I hated to use it. I was frustrated one day I
left and just took a walk (on my lunch hour). The school was located in an Industrial District.
I found there was a building in walking distance that had a sign on the front that said Shulton
(the… Continue

How to be happy at work ( for teachers)
see the video clip.
and
Consider this.
Who do you work for?
How would a typical teacher answer this question?
Maybe, they she would answer "John Doe Middle School"
or may be he would answer " the board of education" knowing that he could be transferred
from one school to another within the same system in one day for no obvious reason.
I personally had this idea.
Teaching was not a job. It was not even… Continue

TEACHING TECHNIQUES- Puppets
to share. You decide if you can use the concepts.
I had a second job at a neighborhood community center at night.
Color Video cameras had just come on the market. I bought one to use in my teaching effort. I found some unusually
cool hand puppets on sale and I bought them. I got this great Idea.
At my community center job I used an overturned table, a small 13 inch… Continue

Are you teaching-if they are not learning?
If they aren’t learning..Then you aren’t teaching
I didn’t always believe the concept that is inferred in the title of this article. I once thought that I was one super extraordinary teacher, the fact that 75% of my students had “F’s” was not important. My thought was that if they got bad grades it was because they wanted bad grades. (I sure made it easy enough by giving excellent explanations and commentary on the lessons.) I did all I was supposed to do and… Continue

Paradigm - the REAL key to quality teaching
What is it? By definition “an example serving as a model; pattern”
Every teacher has one; but most teachers don’t realize what their paradigm is.
Your paradigm determines how well you do every little teaching task that you do.
But first let me give you some examples.
Here are some examples of teacher paradigms.
“My job is to present the lesson. It’s up to the student to learn the… Continue
