There are so many things that a teacher must remember. But one of the most important things is to be consistent. The student learns through repetition. They must always understand what the purpose of each lesson is. This is why teachers try to always begin with openers or warm-ups. This, hopefully, would help them to prepare their minds for what is to come. Another thing that an online teacher must remember is that the student must be able to connect the lesson to something that they already know. This is why teachers give examples or scenarios that the students could relate to.
When the government decides to phase-in the return to school, we should be just as accepting of reduced expectations for our institutions in the first months as we are with âhome learningâ.
Stability is paramount.For all the talk of ânew normalsâ and âresilienceâ, itâs criminal to expect schools to run at reduced capacity with a range of new measures, yet have the same expectation of performance reviews, class observations and strictly measured outcomes.Watching Denmark go back to school, with mandates or 2-meter spacing, reduced numbers, games of shadow tag, and whatever else, almost a silhouette of their former selves, itâs clear to see the emotional support needed for all school community members will likely even be greater than was needed during the lockdown.So much great work has been done by educators in the last month, but the true impact-range of school staff will be keenly felt when schools return post-lockdown.People see now just how central schools and all their staff are to the lives of children, parents and the well-being of communities as a whole - Itâs going to be a tough time, and we can make it easier by being by taking needless pressure off our amazing educatorsÂ
It actually is a method that we all use, in our daily life.
We notice something, we think if this is happening then some other thing must also happen.
Then we check if that other thing is happening or not.For example, you notice that a new car is in the parking space of your office.
Again, Science is a method of gathering information by observing, reasoning and experimentation.
You observed a new car outside.
For example, what if receptionist says no, there was no new person inside.
