Unit 2: Lesson 3 - Strategies for the overall good teaching
Strategies for good teaching
Be clear
Give clear and concise expectations. Do not give students more than they can handle at one time. This could result in frustration and cause them to go into crisis.
Praise
Give consistent praise and positive feedback. These students typically have a low self-esteem and need plenty of reinforcement in order to become confident in their abilities.
Student-centered learning
Students need to be in charge of their own learning. This teaches them to be accountable for their own actions and they are more engaged in the lesson. They also tend to enjoy this type of learning more.
