Maintain Smoothness of a Lesson

A teacher needs to have a smooth lesson process. Such smoothness benefits in achieving lesson objectives easily. Avoiding any disruptive behavior gives the teacher an appropriate chance to complete his tasks without critical interruptions. Here are some tips to sustain desirable smoothness.

Understand your students’ traits and behaviors. Each stage of personal life has its own characteristics. A five-year child has incomplete muscular coordination and a teacher, as a result, does not expect perfection. A visual learner usually interrupts teachers and she is impatient. She needs demonstrations and visual aids. Tiredness or boredom showing on students’ faces is a sign to start a refreshing activity. Considering all these helps to keep the lesson achieving its aims in motivating atmosphere.

Watch your attitude and motivation.  A low energized teacher transfers dullness and students, as a result, will be less engaged. A motivated teacher has plenty of energy to deal and put up with undesirable behaviors. Keeping positivity, exercising, and surrounding yourself with optimistic teachers feed your passion to run high.

Improve your teaching style. Technology provides various fascinating alternatives. Watching videos, gaming, browsing the Internet, preparing and designing presentations are merely examples. Moving from working in pairs to groups or rearranging seats from traditional rows to U-Shape refresh student good mood.

Change your teaching places. Possibly your classroom is perfectly designed and prettily decorated.  However, taking students to the playground or visit a nearby zoo or museum keep students engaged and motivated. Consequently, they develop positive behaviors towards their school and teachers. 

Try new strategies. Applying a variety of selected strategies refresh students’ attitudes positively. Rather than repeating the same routine unprompted, they experience new ways with interest. Moreover, moving from one strategy to another clicks more on different skills. "Choral reading" focuses primarily on fluency in reading aloud skills. On the other hand, "cloze passages" improves text comprehension.

      Finally, never forget to celebrate with your students any achievement. Praise any tiny progress and celebrate project completion, the end of a unit, gaining new skills, or the end of a semester. This rewards their effort and fuels their motivation to another step.
