Some schools divide one school year into five grading periods. Each
period has weekly quizzes and a grading test. But wait a minute! Are
these tests too much for you? If they are making your teaching life
fully-packed, the students, too, have to brace themselves and have no
options when they are pushed to the limits. On you part as a teacher,
you have more
actions to be done before, during and after testing the
students. One of these is to identify the topics, skills and percentage
of items. Next is the marking of test papers and computing students’
grades. Well, everything is a cycle; however, there is a big deal in the
preparation of your test. Good preparation will not only benefit the
students but it also gives you more benefits. Let us see some tips which
will make those positive outcomes to happen.Click on Stuff for teacher to read the full article.
How to prepare for a test
Are
you a type of student who crams for a test tomorrow or a day after
tomorrow? Do you regularly study your lessons or take a seat, with all
readiness to strike the keys for online games or social network after
your classes? Do you want to have an excellent grade or
test result, or
do you find contentment to get a median score or you just simply sulk
after a fiasco? Whichever is your answer, there is always a link between
preparation for a test and the grades that you will receive afterwards.
Remember, tests or exams are measurement tools in many forms: written,
oral, projects, reports, etc. They measure your mastery and performance,
so a well-prepared mind is necessary to engage in the test prepared and
designed by your clever teacher. To help you have a good test result,
here are the best ways you can do.Click on STUFF FOR STUDENTS to read the full article.
The challenge of handling children with special needs in the classroom
In
a class, how many children are there and how many needs does each child
have? To what extent should an annoying behavior be tolerated? There
is no exact formula to use how to face challenging diversified needs of
children. No wonder why there are teachers who freak out during the day
and end with frustration over situational classroom behaviors. Others,
too, take control of outward attitudes lightly and creatively. To be a
teacher is a profession of art; oftentimes a teacher has to be an actor
or actress, angry or kind, firm or considerate.
It is true that to
teach those children with special needs is very challenging. You need
to use your teaching styles and approaches suitable to the individual
needs of the children you teach. On the other hand, your daily
objectives must rhyme with what you utilize, so it is important to be
aware of those objectives at the same time. To further enhance what you
already have as a teacher, here are some tips to make your teaching more
fun!
