Four Key Elements that Revitalize Your Teaching
使教學(xué)充滿(mǎn)活力的四把鑰匙
By H.G. Cadenas，姜重芬 摘譯
School reform has been the main focus of discussion among educators for a number of years.
The truth is that schools, as well as society, are facing many problems which are not unique to them. Nevertheless, the fact remains that when a teacher and his/her students face each other in the classroom they must truly work with each other. They have to connect with each other. This is the only way in which they will be able to understand and use the information given in the classroom. I feel that there are four courses of action that could make the classroom a better place in which students, and many times the teacher, really learn.
The following four courses of action I call keys because they are the tools that could open certain areas which, if not addressed, may result in the institutionalization of many of the problem that plague our schools today.
Key Number One Renew and refresh your knowledg of the subject matter.
How?
Read new information to maintain currency in your field. You can gain different ideas from different areas and incorporate them in your lessons, resulting in greater understanding of the world at large. Above all, talk to your colleagues. Many students today do not understand the fact that " learning is its own reward" . It is important for the teacher to be so imbued with delight in the subject matter that students will see its value in every activity.
