For KG teachers (serious answers only please)?

I was a KG teacher's assistant while I was in University. You have to almost be very motherly towards them without babying them at all. Try to see if the local high school has a co-op system or if you can get some volunteers to come over if they have a spare period (teenagers that want to go into teaching will jump at the opportunity to get some experience and put it on their resume.)\nOne thing I remember was that whenever the kids got too rowdy or loud or just too excited, the teacher just calmly walked to the light switch and flicked it on and off. This made the kids sit up and take notice of what she was doing and then she calmly told them that they need to keep it quiet. She did this whenever she wanted to change an activity (going from crafts to reading a story, etc.) or if they were loud or if they needed to clean up the classroom. This meant she didn't have to shout - EVER! The kids payed attentioned and they loved her!\nGood Luck!

The purpose of  your class is unclear so it is difficult to offer good suggestions.  How about having them do projects related to the countries they might work in?  I'm not sure of the purpose of teaching them technical writing???  What do you mean by "a technical class"?  Or have them demonstrate each other's skill areas so that they have to stretch a little?\n\nI wish I could be of more help.

How about paying attention to what your teacher is saying? I am serious...you are there to learn, not to pass time. I think you must be joking, right?

Pay attention to the way the teacher poses questions and then adapts the students' answers into follow-up questions. Watch how children respond to questioning as well as which children the teacher focuses on the most and least. How does the teacher's attention affect students not actively involved in the exhange? (i.e. does in encourage or discourage others from attempting to get involved?)\n\nLook at the way each area of the room is set up and determine how language instruction has been integrated. Also, ask yourself how the teacher integrates language (vocabulary building, grammar and usage) into other subject lessons.\n\nI'd have to know the grade level to be more specific. Hope this helps a little.

First off.......I am such a language/English/literature person. But in college I had to take a statistics class. I was scared to death because I just so don't have a mathematical mind. I loved it! The teacher was amazing......and related to each of us on  such a personal level. The hilarious part was that it was one of those huge lecture type classes with over 200 people. Yet, she had this way of making it seem like she was talking straight to you. We would all be working problems and laughing and poking fun at our silly mistakes instead of feeling like we were losers for screwing up. Her tests were monstrously hard, but I ended up with an "A" in the course. Shows you what amazing teaching skills mixed with personable skills can do for students. I loved this question......I'm so glad you asked it. I haven't thought of her in so long. I really should go find her and tell her thanks sometime!

Good for you for trying to learn outside the classroom.  I'll be honest, though.  You can't blame this one on the companies.  Many teachers don't want the answers available for their students to copy, so the companies have to keep them private.  Check the publishers' websites, and contact them to see if they will help you.  If not, see if you can get a teacher at the appropriate level to help you with this, or at least to check your answers.

Teachers not being paid enough.  We have a shortage of teachers here in Las Vegas, NV. One teacher was interviewed on the news and asked why she was leaving teaching. She said that she was going to be paid more to teach aerobics than to teach children in a classroom. SAD!

Get them active, in maths for e.g get them picking balls out of bags a write down results, the more involved they feel the more fun it'll be so the more they will remember!  I hope I've helped!!! Good luck teachings hard!!!

if its real important to you you should hire a teacher or pay for teaching classes      p.s. when you give a person a best answer comment then you will earn 3 pts so it would be nice to help a brother out

Try this, but remember, teachers are getting smarter about plagerizing...if you copy it word-for-word, expect an F, but if you site the sources, this should help.

I teach English in Thailand.  We watch cartoons and kid movies a lot.  Oh.  And I read aloud from different books every single day.  Gets them used to slang and differents ways of saying things.

I would say it would depend on the age group.  If you're teaching little kids, 1 X a week would seem appropriate to me however, if you're teaching an older set of classmen a full term with daily tutelage would be more instructional and more intensive.

What type of training are you trying to conduct? Is this during the teaching day or after? This information would help me to answer your question.
