Kinder garten teachers are to be more professional
in handling kids of Kindergarten. During training session of kindergarten
teaching techniques training the Chairman of South Zone Board of Continuing
Education K.Govindaraju enlightened the teachers, “Kinder garden teachers are
to be more professional in handling kids of Kindergarten”. The Chairman further
said, “Kindergarten is the first
time most children are exposed to a classroom environment that's less about
playing and more about sitting still, listening to the teacher and completing
classwork. Teachers in kindergarten classrooms use several teaching methods to
ensure that each student is learning what she needs to know. The same teaching
methods are designed to help students who excel remain challenged, as well as
to help students who are lagging behind catch up, because they incorporate a
wide range of instructional strategies. If you
believe that teaching your child to read and helping your child develop
proficient reading skills is the key to future success and if you wish to help r
children develop to their fullest potential. Young children are generally
motivated to learn about everything. Unless they have been made fun of
regularly, when investigating or presenting their knowledge, they usually have
a strong desire to find out and share information. One of the best teaching methods
is to motivate children by modeling enthusiasm and curiosity. Motivation
comes from within and from outside. Making too much fuss of any one child
can result in a competitive attitude in the class. Model curiosity
and asking questions about the topics studied. When children
have an opportunity to communicate their new knowledge to patient adults it
helps solidify concepts. It often takes children time to find the correct words
to explain their thinking and to supply the students with descriptive words as
they are playing or working, This extends their vocabulary and increases their
ability to share new discoveries. The Kinder garden teachers are to maintain a
classroom atmosphere of warmth and acceptance. For some kindergarten children, the
classroom will be one of the few places where their opinions and ideas have
been heard and valued. Learning doesn’t happen if a child is
over tired, hungry, upset, scared or worried. Learning is to be flexible
and understanding with young children is a skill that will serve you well in
your
educational career. At times, children need to get away from everyone
and be left alone. A small space, such as under your desk, works is well
for some students who are too overwhelmed by home or other circumstances, to
cope with their peers or their teacher. If a student is hungry, it’s easier to
let her eat part of her lunch early or to provide a snack, than to try to force
the child to concentrate on a task until the scheduled eating time. Most Kids often
do not have the vocabulary to express themselves and teachers are to use
reflective listening to help children understand what is upsetting them. Sometimes
children work well in groups and this helps them learn to share and develop
ideas and at other times they need to be alone with ample time to figure things
out and to relax and have fun with your students. The biggest challenge
any teacher faces is capturing the students’ attention, and putting across
ideas in such a way that it stays with them long after they have left the classroom.
For this to happen, classroom experience should be redefined and innovative
ideas that make teaching methods more effective should be implemented and
teachers are to be trained in some innovative ideas that will help teachers
reinvent their teaching methods and make their classes interesting. Teachers
are to be trained in Creative
Teaching, Use of Audio & Video Tools, “Real-World” Learning, Brainstorm, Classes
outside the Classroom, Storyboard Teaching, Stimulating Classroom Environment, Welcome
New Ideas, think About a New Hobby, Think About A New Hobby, Start School Clubs
or Groups, and Introduce Lessons Like a Story. Kinder garden schools to take measures
for improving the quality of teaching and learning, these innovative ideas are
sure to make teaching methods more effective”. - Kris
