Blog3:Try to Teach

I will soon be giving lessons on Chinese chess to some students in a secondary school from
next month. I can never imagine I will teach someone my favorite hobby one day. Today I attended the Volunteer Workshop (Give) Programme and learned a lot about teaching. It is really not easy to stand in front and give speeches freely. I feel excited about this coming challenge. Here I want to share my understanding of how to teach well.
The primary thing a teacher needs to take concern on is the classroom management. A good class order is the premise of teaching. Teachers usually use assertive discipline to manage students’ behavior. In this way they manage to improve their efficiency of teaching. It is indispensible for teachers to focus on their classes and keep using good manner. Physical punishment and sarcasm are absolutely forbidden to use. Otherwise, teachers are also required to know how to deal with conflicts which may happen in class.
The second thing is the mentoring skill. Mentoring is to support and encourage students to manage their own learning. After that they may maximize their potential and achieve their goals. Teachers are expected to listen attentively to their students’ confusion and build harmonious relationships with them. Students may benefit a lot from an enthusiastic and encouraging mentor.
The third thing for a teacher should be making lesson plans. An outstanding teacher is usually
familiar with what he will teach to his students. He does not remember the lessons word by word but keeping the main points in his mind. Teachers need to set their lesson goals and design formats about activities and resources. In addition, time management cannot be ignored. After preparing all these things well, I am certain that they can give splendid lessons.
From my perspective,the most considerable characters of a good teacher are enthusiasm and
responsibility. I will do my best to prepare well for my lessons.
