Why some instructors and teachers give high grades to their students or pupils

Posted on by eugene



Teaching can be a daunting task. A mentor in school may assume different roles to ensure that the students will be able to learn their lessons well and eventually acquire knowledge, wisdom and necessary skills that are essential later in life.

A mentor has a tremendous duties and responsibilities. They must able to assess their students to the best of their abilities.

The grades of the students given by their instructors reflect the overall performance, brilliance inside the classroom if there is any and the learning curb of the students.

There are scores of instructors that seem too generous in giving hefty grades on most of their students. If the range of the grades between the highest and lowest is small and majority of the students get scores of 85 and above (in the Philippines the passing grade is 75 and above). This is an indication of poor assessment on the part of a mentor although the students will likely be very happy with this.


Here are some reasons why instructors give undeserving high grades on their students:

  • The mentor’s inappropriate generosity can be a sort of a bribe. It is most likely that with their high grades the students will no longer complain about the shortcomings and inadequacies of their mentor.
  • High grades on most students in a class indicate that the mentor is not doing his job well in correcting the papers of the students (like quizzes, seat work, assignments, examinations, research papers and/or other requirements). A high on every student will compensate for the inability of the mentor to check and evaluate the student’s performance.

Bloated grades imply poor evaluation on the part of the instructor.

Ways to make your life school-friendly

Posted on by eugene


Here is a short list of things you can do to turn your life school-friendly:

Try to reduce any other changes taking shape into your kid’s life during the weeks leading up to school. If your child is still at the point of adjusting to his bed from his crib, giving up naps or just had a new nanny while she is at the point of entering school, this occurrence can be overpowering.

After the weekend or after a shopping spree load snack-size baggies with small portions of nutritious snack and place these in a cabinet snack. You can toss these goodies in your child’s lunch box for the whole week.


Turn off the TV in morning since your kid will be likely to be late for school.

Relax during evenings and weekends. Your child will likely be tired and may call for your attention while he’s home.

At the start, lessen the times of going out at nighttime, playdates and out-of-school activities, to make your weekend stress-free and easygoing.

Have a nice weekend and have fun!

(This article also contain the things you’ll children learn in kindergarten or preschool) There are a lot of rooms and facilities in a preschool but they are not only built for fun and games, since your kid is actually learning essential lessons as he plays and develop numerous skills.

Story Corner
Just by listening and watching her teacher read stories, your child is becoming familiar with basic literacy concepts like reading from left to right and what words and letters are. If you come across with the book corner, you will see the preschoolers reading by turning the pages appropriately and narrating what they see and this can be a great start to real reading.

Sand Water Table
The fools and toys aid in teaching science concepts like the cause and effect. Since there is no right wrong with these materials, children are expected to have success when they attempt to play with them.

Circle Time

This school town meeting allows your children to socialize and have an important practive for the skills they’ll need to learn from kindergarten.

Art area
Crayons, markers, art papers, safety scissors, glues, paint brushes are all nice tools from mastering skills and hand-eye coordination.
Children would be bragging about their own respective art works. The art area is not only a place to squeeze out creativity and artistic flair but it also provides children to practice with language and express themselves well.


Puzzle Table
Legos, puzzles, beads, geez, these are recipes for pandemonium! Puzzle tables provide children the opportunity to develop their fine moto skill, concentration and hand-eye coordination when they play mind-boggling games.

Is gender a factor in effectiveness of a teacher? More and more homosexuals are in the academe, is that a good thing or bad thing?

Posted on by eugene



Answer: With our society becoming more liberal and open-minded, more and more guys are coming out in the open to admit that they are gays. And more and more gays are entering the education sector to impart their know-how. Though the scriptures are against homosexuality I think no one has the right to condemned anybody especially those belonging to the third sex. And this extends to work or work place.
In my opinion gender is not an issue, and besides the things teachers does inside the classroom should matter the most, no more no less.
It’s good for the academe if there are no strings attached. Since being a teacher assumes greater responsibility and high status in the society. Keep in mind that there are some that uses their position in order to get some indecent favors and this should be avoided.
But if a gay teacher will not stoop low and will live up to his duties he can be a great asset to the academe.


Here are some reasons why gay teachers or instructors can be an asset to any school:

  • They are very diligent and hardworking
  • They are creative
  • Aside from their chosen expertise, they have multi-faceted features and attributes, thus they are multi-talented
  • They are compassionate and humble
  • They are competitive and will do their best to win in any contest
  • They are flexible and can able to adopt easily on their environment
  • They are very friendly but will not hesitate to protect their pride once assailed with verbal attacks
  • Most of them are good dancers and singers too
  • They are good in entertaining the school’s guests
  • They are also adept in hosting
  • They are so good in organizing events like beauty contests hehehe
  • They are so good in networking
  • They can also very funny and hilarious, expect the faculty room and classrooms to be in elation once they throw some jokes
  • They are enthusiastic and full of vigor
  • They are dynamic
  • They have good taste when it comes to passion

How to Make Lesson Plan for College Instructors

Posted on by eugene



Lesson plan is considered to be the bread and butter of teachers in elementary and high school in order to have cohesive, fluid and effective discussions inside the class. With a lesson plan the teacher will able to make the most of his resources, time, effort and visual aids. The flow of the lessons will be smooth as a silk. Moreover the different part of the lessons are handed out with relative ease.

The lesson plan must be concise yet teeming with worthwhile activities and substantial content to ensure that the children will able to gain knowledge and acquire necessary skills that will be useful later in life. Indeed, the lesson plan is so important since it provides teachers the opportunity to strategize and take control of the class.

Since lesson plan is of essence, college instructors may take advantage of this in order to have a solid discussion as well on their classes. The lesson plan you will need may not be very detailed just like the ones that are employed in primary and secondary. But keep in mind that your college lesson plan must be more of an active than passive, meaning it should allow the students to participate in order for them to explore things and answer the questions that cropped up into their minds.

Here is an example of a lesson plan for college instructors:
Title:

Free Falling Body and Gravity

Objectives:

To recognize the different factors that may affect a free-falling-body.

Explain the concept of a free falling body and gravity.

(The objectives must enable the students to think deeper)

Task concept: Gravity

(Simply the topic of the lesson plan or an activity)

The Task Context:

If you hold one book in one of your hands and two books in to your other hand, which do you think will faster into the ground? What if you drop a stone and a feather at the same time? Which to do you think will fall faster. (Note the notebooks to be used should be identical)

(A rationale)

Task Instructions:

Gather the materials needed to perform the task.

Determine which will fall faster in the tasks given, one book or two books? Feather or stone?

Determine the factors that may affect a free-falling-body.

Use your creative flair whilst doing a college lesson. Remember that the possibilities are endless and you may employ this anytime as you wish. Make sure that the lesson plan must also jive with the course of syllabus of the subjects you are teaching.

I used this strategy a lot in teaching Physics I and II subjects and it spell some wonders on me.

(Simply the procedure)

Thanks for the read and have a nice day!

Explanation of the theme of this year’s World Teacher’s Day, “My Teacher, My Hero”

Posted on by eugene


Question: Explain the theme of this year’s World Teacher’s Day, “My Teacher, My Hero,” and cite your own Heroism as a teacher.Answer: Teachers are considered unsung heroes in equipping the citizens of the world with knowledge, wisdom and necessary skills that would later turn them to become productive and useful individuals. The teachers are also responsible in developing the socio-emotional skills of the students. They also instill good values to ensure that the future denizens of the planet can communicate effectively and work in various companies with dignity and honor.
The teachers also encourages the students to get hooked up with various activities that will develop, improve, hone and polish skills that will be valuable later in life.

The teachers indeed play a significant role in shaping up the well-being and future of their students, and I am proud to be one of them. I consider myself hero just like my colleagues, since deep in my heart I carry out my duties to the best of my abilities. I impart them knowledge, wisdom and various skills. I also have a part in molding them to be good-natured as I keep my eye on details and correct any mistakes whenever I see them surfaces right before my eyes.
I persuade them to discover and tap hidden gifts in them and once those innate God-given talents are discovered I help polish them with their parents. I encourage them to participate in competitions and I set the stage for them to have a splendid performance by virtue of providing them the resources and preparations they need.

I also act as their mother or a sister to my students. I never treat my students as my friends, since they have a lot of them already and I know that what they need is unconditional love which can be provided by a mother or a sister.
At the moment I have a terrible and notorious class, but I didn’t bucked down. I stood on my ground and principles. I tame them not by using sheer force and might, but with motivation and encouragement. I also learn their weaknesses and strengths so that I will able to gauge what actions I will undertake.

I also stand besides my students even some of my colleagues would say that they aren’t capable. I believe that there are no dull and inept students. With proper impetus a student will eventually optimize his skills and intelligence, although this will take some time, effort and hard work.

I consider myself a heroine, for I know that I am doing my share in our pursuit to topple ignorance.

How to Look Good in Your Class

Posted on by eugene


What is the best look for teacher? You must look good and as much as possible in a business look at all times. Look neat by virtue of having a fresh breath armed with a dismantling smile. Your hair must be fixed to the best of your abilities. You must also sport well-trimmed and decent nails. It will also help a lot if you have shoes that may glitter like gold. Appropriate wear is a must, but you need not buy branded or high-end dresses or clothes to do that so. Make sure your clothes make you mouthwatering as this helps you get the attention of your students throughout the lesson. You should also smell right too, and have a proper posture (chest out and chin up). Right bearing means, good manner in speaking and the way you carry yourself.

You must also feel good since this will resonate to the people around you. You must be ready to smile when the time calls for it to do so. Be amiable, sincere, cool, and approachable. Show off your charisma, nice humor, nice disposition, and charm to eke out respect of your colleagues and students.

Your business looks can also add firepower to your teaching armory. Be unyielding yet kind. Have authority in the class when you say “I’ll say it once and I wont say it again,” that’s it. You must use the rules for everybody’s advantage but bear in mind rules are rules (but with heart), when someone steps further on the house rules of the classroom mete out appropriate means of correcting them. Be fair, decisive, don’t make uncalled for compromises. Be always just and merciful to be at your optimum whilst teaching.

Here are some ways, tips, cues and pointers to reinvent yourself as a teacher or as an instructor. Thanks for the read we hope you come back for more read in the days to come.


How to Reprimand Your Students the Correct Way

Posted on by eugene


Perhaps one of the most difficult things to do as an instructor or teacher is to give reprimand unruly or misbehaving students in the class. One wrong move and your class might be in peril especially if you are teaching college students, since this might spoil and even poison the class if not properly handled. Moreover this will serve as a hindrance in preserving the integrity of your classroom management. If you get angry inside your class because of the students’ unruly behavior then the problem is you since you shows your classroom management is rather very weak.

Here are practical ways and easy tips to use reprimanding to your advantage:

  1. Command the behavior in a nice manner to stop.
  2. Say concrete reason and in a logical manner why it should stop.
  3. Offer options or alternatives, like saying, “Stop making noise. It disturbs your classmates who want to listen about the subject matter that we will discuss for today. We can have some fun in group once we are done!”, or “Don’t carry on with that game. It is hurting your classmates. Try to work on your own activities instead!”, “Cut that talk. It offends people. Be friends with the newcomers and win new friends!”.

Here you have it some useful tips that you might need to reinforce you classroom management skills.
