Here are five tenets of my teaching posture. If you re excited, they re excited. Enjoy and embrace teaching and exude that attitude all day, every day. Students always enjoy a topic more if the speaker shows general interest in the material itself and in passing the knowledge onto others. Respect every student s ability, earn their respect in return.
Every student has genuine interest in gaining knowledge.
Seize that interest, and respectfully correct and guide them to a thorough understanding of the topic. Be kind, thoughtful, and helpful when students ask questions. Challenge both the average students and the gifted students to their full potential. Don t provide answers, provoke answers. Guide students to the correct solutions to challenging problems.
