 «DIFFERENT LEARNING STYLES».

The visual, auditory or kinesthetic learning models were developed to classify the most popular ways of learning subjects today. According to these models, most people prefer to learn in one of three ways: visual, auditory or kinesthetic (although, in practice, we generally "mix and match" these three styles).

Visual style or model means that a visually-dominant learner takes and keeps information better when it is presented in pictures, diagrams and charts, so, it is given in a visual format.

Auditory style is popular with an auditory-dominant learner who prefers listening mostly. The students of this sort answer best of all to voices. For example, in a lecture or group discussion. In addition, they like listening tasks and interaction with listening and speaking. 

Kinesthetic model is typical for learners who prefer a physical experience. They like feeling a subject with their hands and they react well if they can touch an object at the moment when a teacher explains material.

This information can be a great support when you understand your students’ preferences. You will know how to plan and do your teaching better, knowing that many people use all three styles in some degree. So, it will be reasonable for a teacher to deliver the material in different formats if you wish to have good results for a shorter period. 

There is no wonder that the simplicity and usefulness of the styles have added a lot to their growing popularity among trainers who remember that students may have a different mix of preferences. Like all these teachers, be sure that you include a mixture of these models, which will engage all your learners. In this case, you will achieve more than you could do if you were just giving them an ordinary lecture.

«MARIA MONTESSORY’S SYSTEM OF EDUCATION».

The Montessori Method of Education, developed by Maria Montessori, is a child-centered educational approach based on scientific observations of children. Montessori's method has been used for over 100 years in many parts of the world.
Kids are naturally interested in learning about the world and through their curiosity can develop themselves. An artificially created environment of the Montessori classroom supports natural development. This approach allows developing the fundamental capacities of children that they need to become happy and mentally mature adults who can contribute to society.
The Montessori’s room prepared environment is tidy, simple and real, where each element exists for a reason in order to help in the development of a child. This kind of atmosphere unites children of mixed ages that are grouped in periods of 3 years, and that promotes socialization, respect and solidarity among them. Maria said that freedom developed within clear limits, encouraged children to live in harmony with others in their small world of the classroom.
Children work with the materials that were scientifically designed, which give them the keys to explore our world and develop basic cognitive abilities. The learning tools are made in order to allow a child to recognize the error without anybody’s help and become responsible for their own learning.
Pupils in Montessori schools follow their real interests, wherever that passion leads and such an approach gives them strong life skills and traits like leadership, self-discipline, responsibility, independence, initiative and a lifetime love for learning.
The adult of in this school is, firstly, an observer and, secondly, a guide who may help and stimulate the child to go on learning in various directions. Thus, this approach allows children to act, want and think by themselves, and it helps them to develop self-confidence and inner discipline for the future.

«USEFUL SKILLS FOR TEACHERS».

Teaching can certainly be a challenge, but it is also one of the most rewarding careers. There are some useful skills that every good teacher should have (imagination, adaptability, taking risks, never-ending professional growth and so on).
Adaptability means to teach different kids in different ways. Good teachers know how to adapt their lesson plan to their students, so that all the kids learn optimally. This trait can take some experience and practice in a classroom setting, so give it time.
Imagination is a more effective tool to create new and interesting ways for your students to learn. You may be inspired by the work of another teacher, mentor - it does not matter. All that matters is that you take the initiative to find new ways for your kids to learn the material.
Risk taking is about finding a new unusual way to make kids learn, and sometimes these new learning methods can be uncertain, but it is worth doing. Practice shows that many new good methods were found through new ways of training.
Constant learning is the part of teachers who always look for ways to expand their horizons with courses, workshops, and seminars. Make sure you do not regress, take courses regularly to keep the content fresh in your mind.
No teacher will succeed if they do not have good communication skills. Clear, concise, and to the point - the better your communication skills are, the easier to understand your lessons. 
Teachers should remember that they are one of the most consistent mentors in a child's life. That means setting a good example at all times. Teachers may also have students that they spend extra time with being a mentor, which means being a good role model.
At last, leadership is also vital. Your students need someone to guide them, to be in charge, and set the tone of the class. Accordingly, be the one who leads them.

«PREPARING FOR AN INTERVIEW».

Preparing for your first teaching interview can be very stressful. If you come to the interview prepared with teacher interview questions and answers, then, you have the things half done. Use the following tips to help you in your preparations. 
First, you should show that you know what to do. It is important to know about the National Curriculum, the core standards, how to manage different types of children, how to assess the results of their work, types of games and other things which are normally known to all the professionals.
Bringing your teaching portfolio will the best proof that you really have an experience or something valuable to show. Fill the portfolio with the examples of your students’ works, lesson plans, photos with kids or parents, a class website, and any other resources to prove that you are a digitally literate person too. Put inside the recommendation letters, your teacher certification, or anything that you have from training. When the prospective employer asks you a question, you may give a verbal reply or show a concrete example of what you are talking about.
You should practice answering typical Teacher Interview Questions beforehand. Interviews are all about how you answer the questions. It is wonderful for you to use your portfolio and be dressed for success, but if you cannot answer a question, then there’s a good chance you will not get the job. 
There may come a time in the interview when you have no answer for a question. Instead of trying to create some eccentric answer, it is better to be honest and say that you simply had no experience in that question yet, but would love the opportunity to find out more about it. People love honesty, and going this way, you will earn another plus in the eyes of the potential employer.

«CHILD PRODIGY: TYPICAL DIFFICULTIES».

A gifted child is usually an independent learner. Such kids may choose not to do all of the tasks or follow all of the requirements because they do not see the point of them. 
Besides, they can take their own approach to problem solving or may have an idea that they find a more interesting way-out when they do their homework. This can lead to poor marks or being misunderstood by a teacher. It is important to make all educators be aware of the giftedness to guarantee that they have a more tolerant approach.
Social interaction with peers can be difficult for a child prodigy, too. Making friends is often an obstacle for them. They may feel more comfortable interacting with a teacher and other adults rather than same-age peers. This can lead to anti-social behaviour or even bullying. The teacher can help to offer a gifted child by giving advice on how to find common subjects to talk about and connect with others. Remind them that many children at school have social problems and they are not alone. 
Giftedness can be accompanied by asynchronous development when we talk about physical and mental maturity. This means that while the child is extremely intelligent, he still has a problem dealing with emotions, which can put a strain on parents and teachers, especially when it leads to inappropriate behaviour. The universal method is just explaining kids the age changes in their body which are typical for these years.
It is also necessary to remember that gifted children can be confident discussing unusual topics in conversation with adults, but they do not always know how to interpret or make use of the information they found. The teacher’s role is to clarify how to apply this knowledge in real-life situations.

«EDUCATION IN RUSSIAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS».

Russian public schools give students a comprehensive education. Schools that provide only standard course of general education, called «comprehensive schools» and schools that give depth knowledge of individual disciplines may be called differently (“lyceum”, “gymnasia”). 
Education in public schools is officially free. Now a full course of study at the Russian school takes 11 years. Standard periods of mastering of educational programs by level of general education are the following:
1/ Primary comprehensive school is the school for pupils accepted in the first grade if they were 6 years old by March 1 in the enrollment year. This stage takes 4 years — from the 1st to the 4th grade. It provides the minimum basic set of knowledge and skills which are necessary for life and any work: reading, writing, elementary math, handicraft. There are four lessons typically per day.
2/ Secondary comprehensive school includes five years of study - from 5th to 9th grade. 
The school course gives basic knowledge of the main fields of sciences. At the end of the secondary school, students take the state exam called “OGE”: Mathematics, Russian and two more for a student’s option. Upon completion of the secondary school, some pupils go to complete comprehensive school or go to study at professional educational institutions.
3/ Complete comprehensive school is the preparation period for university entrance. In Russia, these are the last two years of study: Grade 10 and Grade 11. The course includes further study of the subjects started in a secondary school, as well as a small number of new disciplines. Workload in the upper grades goes up to seven lessons per weekday. Before leaving the high school, students take the Unified State Examination (or EGE). Students must pass the Maths and Russian, and two more subjects. Every student, who has successfully completed the last stage of education, receives a certificate of complete comprehensive education.

 «LEV VYGOTSKY’S THEORY».

Lev Vygotsky was a Russian psychologist who is best known for his sociocultural theory. He believed that social interaction plays a critical role in children's learning. Through such social interactions, children go through a continuous process of learning. Vygotsky noted that culture deeply influences this process. Imitation, guided learning, and collaborative learning all play a critical part in his theory.
Vygotsky's works are often compared with a Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget known for his work on child development. Though Vygotsky’s theory differs from that of Piaget‘s in a number of important ways:
First of all, Vygotsky puts an accent on culture which affects a child’s cognitive development. Therefore, Vygotsky assumes cognitive development varies across cultures, whereas Piaget states cognitive development is mostly universal across cultures.
Second, Vygotsky places much more emphasis on social factors which contribute to cognitive development. Vygotsky states that cognitive development goes from social interactions and guided learning within the zone of proximal development. For Vygotsky, the environment in which children grow up will influence how they think and what they think about.
Third, Vygotsky places more and different accent on the role of language in cognitive development. According to Piaget, language depends on thought (and thought comes before language). For Vygotsky, thought and language are separate systems from the beginning of life, but they are united at around three years of the child’s age producing inner speech.
Forth, according to Vygotsky, adults are an important source of cognitive development for the children. Adults spread the habits, culture, behavior that children absorb. In contrast, Piaget considers the importance of peers as number one factor, as peer interaction promotes social perspective taking for the future life. Contemporary researchers agree with both scientists.

 «AN IDEAL TEACHER».

Everybody knows that a teacher plays the central role in education. Theoretically, no teacher will ever become ideal. Becoming perfect would mean that the tutor has achieved such a level of perfection that he does not need to take any efforts toward improvement and growth.
A general portrait of a perfect teacher usually includes the following characteristics: he knows fully the contents of the subject that he teaches. True teachers are scholars and are continually reading and upgrading themselves in their subject. They have the highest degree of honesty, and they are always ready to adapt to something new. Being a flexible educator means that if students are not interested in the lesson material, as a teacher with a feeling you may choose a different tactic or method to make the course of learning more motivating. 
Patience should be on the list of a teacher who is hardworking and attentive to pupils with many needs. Learners can be genius, gifted, mentally retarded or emotionally tired and some patience is required for teaching individually. This way only, progress can be made day after day.
An ideal teacher is a model of confidence and support. It is a source of great pleasure and they show it in their facial expression and their positive attitude to many things. Openness is a trait related to the teacher’s own experience to share how they feel about situations in real life. 
Talking about contemporary teachers, speakers keep in their minds an ideal teacher who monitors events of the current day and updates his materials accordingly. Therefore, the teacher not only focuses on his subject, but also has a good command of other subjects in some degree. 
The teacher of the highest class should be an excellent role model for the students, as teachers are those who contribute greatly to the quality of society. 
And finally, an ideal teacher is well-disciplined, cooperative, friendly with parents and his colleagues.

«EDUCATION SYSTEM IN ENGLAND».

In the United Kingdom, schools are either state schools funded by government and are free for all pupils, or they are independent schools and charge fees to the parents of the pupils. 
In the United Kingdom independent schools have an excellent reputation for high standards of teaching and learning and almost all pupils go on to prestigious universities when they leave. This is the main reason why British educational institutions are so popular among the foreign applicants. Besides, even the less famous schools, colleges and universities have quite a worthy quality of training. 
There are fundamental similarities in school education throughout the United Kingdom. For example, all boys and girls must attend full-time education until the age of 16. Many pupils stay on at school after that age to prepare themselves for university or other careers. 
At the same time, there are also significant differences between practice in England and Wales, on the one hand, and in Scotland on the other hand. In Scotland, pupils move to secondary education at the age of 12. Most pupils in England and Wales begin their secondary education at the age of 11 under the National Curriculum introduced in 1988, which provides a basis for education between the ages of 5 - 18. All state schools are required to follow it. Although, Independent schools are not required to follow the Curriculum in every detail, but they must show that they provide a good all-round education and they are inspected regularly every few years.
In most British state schools Primary education starts in Year 1 (around 5 – 7 years old). At the age of 16, pupils take a series of exams called the General Certificate of Secondary Education in England and Wales (Standard Grades in Scotland), usually they take about eight to ten subjects, which must include English and Mathematics.

«GAMES IN EDUCATION».

Some people may wonder, “Why play games in a class?” I think it is important to name the value of game playing for students, colleagues and others. 
Over the years, I believe game playing is a powerful instructional tool. Students learn through playing - they may be able to understand a new concept or idea, take on a different perspective, or experiment with different choices.
Games provide a context for unusual practice. For the practice to be meaningful, students must be involved. By playing games, students willingly gain desirable practice and learn a variety of important skills. There are countless skills that students can develop through game playing, such as critical thinking skills, creativity and teamwork. 
One of my first years as a teacher, a student commented that he loved the computer game we were playing. He then told me that he had never played games at home and I was the only adult who had ever sat down to play a game with him. 
While playing, students develop a variety of connections with the content and can form positive memories of learning. Some of my child’s favorite classroom memories are from game times. The fun, silly or interesting moments are likely to stand out in students’ memories. A positive emotional connection facilitates learning. 
Furthermore, many games include a variety of different motivations. For example, some students might remember the words from acting them out, others remember reading the clues, and all the others remember hearing classmates say answers.
Games grab students’ attention and actively involve them. It is a good way to immerse them in a subject. This can be especially useful in a wide variety of ways. A game allows students to go back quickly to the content we were working on if they were distracted by something. After hours of standardized tests, I find my students are often tired of sitting and full of energy and an energetic game with lots of movement may be just what they need.

«DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN EDUCATION».

Digital technology in education is the biggest change in teaching we will ever see. 
For years, teachers, parents and students have been weighing the potential benefits of technology in education against its risks and consequences. Now the debate is more pressing than ever, as curricula increasingly incorporate technology, and professors experiment with new teaching methods more and more. 
On one hand, technology allows you to experiment in pedagogy, make the classroom atmosphere free and engage students better. On the other hand, some people argue that technology in the classroom can be distracting and even increase cheating. 
Initially, young students are digital natives. They have grown up with technology; it is woven into their lives. In fact, it is one of the basic 21st century skills that they will need in school and the workplace. But using computer technology in the classroom is not just about digital devices in class — it relates to anything that simplifies an interaction between teacher and student. Today’s classroom engagement of the students is at low and lecturers are competing against instant information from phones, tablets and laptops. 
Digital education is generating new learning opportunities as students engage in online, digital environments, and as educational institutes change their training practices through the use of hybrid courses, personalized instruction, new collaboration models and a wide range of innovative, engaging learning strategies.
Moreover, a new century view of learner success requires students not only to be thoughtful consumers of digital content, but effective and collaborative creators of digital media, demonstrating competencies and communicating ideas through dynamic storytelling, data visualization and posting materials to attract people to the site.
Therefore, either distance learning or a mixed type of a class can be called not the coming day but the current period of everybody’s life. Education of any type and any quality is accessible and affordable to the major part of students across the world.

 «TEACHER’S DUTIES».

There is no secret that teachers, like any other specialist in their area, normally are in charge of many things and have many responsibilities. The range of their duties is quite wide. 
Habitually, we may start with knowledge of the subject they teach. One can hardly disagree that being an expert in your field is obligatory. To know your material as good as possible is essential. 
Planning, preparing, managing the time and order of activities before you appear in front of the children, should be done appropriately within the limits of necessary classes. These points will let you implement the curriculum completely. 
Your lessons must be conducted at the scheduled time. The approaches and strategies chosen should develop self-responsible and independent learners. To promote students’ motivation, you should provide meaningful and challenging learning experiences which include, but are not limited to: self-exploration, questioning, making choices, setting goals, planning and organizing, executing, self-evaluating and demonstrating initiative in tasks and projects. 
To provide opportunities for students, the teacher should use current technology, resources and information to solve various problems. 
To build students’ ability to work collaboratively with others by taking different roles while doing a project is the teacher’s task. 
Providing opportunities for students to apply and practice what is learned and engage students in creative thinking and interdisciplinary learning experiences is the part of your job too.
Now and again, the instructors (as somebody labels teachers today) should vary their roles (e.g. to be a coach, facilitator, co-learner, listener, friend) in relation to content and purpose of class and students’ needs to achieve the maximum result. 
Imagine that you ask a child, “What is a teacher for?” he will probably reply, “Oh, to give me a good grade for my homework!”. Hence, estimation, which can be done by applying numerous assessment tools and criteria, is the teacher’s job. Assessing and analyzing what should be improved to encourage the intellectual development of students can also be put on the list of the teacher’s duties.

At last, leadership is also vital. Your students need someone to guide them, to be in charge, and set the tone of the class. Accordingly, be the one who leads them.

 «FIRST JOB INTERWIEV».

Preparing for your first teaching interview can be very stressful. If you come to the interview prepared with teacher interview questions and answers, then, you have the things half done. Use the following tips to help you in your preparations. 
First, you should show that you know what to do. It is important to know about the National Curriculum, the core standards, how to manage different types of children, how to assess the results of their work, types of games and other things which are normally known to all the professionals.
Bringing your teaching portfolio will the best proof that you really have an experience or something valuable to show. Fill the portfolio with the examples of your students’ works, lesson plans, photos with kids or parents, a class website, and any other resources to prove that you are a digitally literate person too. Put inside the recommendation letters, your teacher certification, or anything that you have from training. When the prospective employer asks you a question, you may give a verbal reply or show a concrete example of what you are talking about.
You should practice answering typical Teacher Interview Questions beforehand. Interviews are all about how you answer the questions. It is wonderful for you to use your portfolio and be dressed for success, but if you cannot answer a question, then there’s a good chance you will not get the job. 
There may come a time in the interview when you have no answer for a question. Instead of trying to create some eccentric answer, it is better to be honest and say that you simply had no experience in that question yet, but would love the opportunity to find out more about it. People love honesty, and going this way, you will earn another plus in the eyes of the potential employer.
