In a community there are many differing opinions and philosophies of successful education. That is why it is important as a teacher to be flexible, and to have the ability to work well with others. This ability unites the community. Many of the things that I have talked about are important aspects of teaching that take place outside of the classroom. What goes on inside of the classroom is also very important.
Kids learn best when they can take part in activities.
Hands-on activities are the best because they're meaningful for the students. Students don't learn when a bunch of information is just thrown at them. They need to be able to relate new information to what they already know. Part of this is getting students involved, which often takes hands-on activities. Another great way to get students involved is to ask a lot of questions.
