tippity tippity tip tip tips!

Teaching tip #1: Sick of seating arrangements? When the kids enter the class have them pick a number out of a beaker (... or something meaningful to your class!) and that number corresponds to a seat around the class. PRESTO. Each student sits in a different spot every class, no one worries about who they're going to sit with, and everyone gets a chance everywhere. Just keep your students with poor eyesight or hearing in mind!

Teaching tip #2: Play some music. When the students are entering the class, when they're working, when they're leaving the class. Just make the class FUN dammit. Or play 5 min of a movie at the start of every class...what better way to get them to class on time ha.

Teaching tip #3: Smile, and mean it. This is my biggest complaint about teachers new and old... they forget to really genuinely smile.

Have fun on your practicums and have amazing teaching careers you crazy crazy bunch of teachers!
