THE TEN COMMANDMENTS TO BE FOLLOWED TO BECOME

A GOOD TEACHER

1.A GOOD TEACHER IS AN ASSERTIVE TEACHER

Your students can have problems, bad days, stress, or even depressions as well. If you see that some of your students start to study worse, have no desire to do all schoolwork you give them, and just want to give up everything, do not be in a hurry to argue and tell them about how bad or lazy they become.

You can become like a parent to them. Support your student, ask about what happens to her, push her to do better. If you see that your student is depressed, maybe it would be better to meet with her after classes and find out what exactly is going on.

2. BE THEIR FRIEND, BUT DON'T GO TOO FAR & DON’T BE A DICTATOR :

Students just don't like when their teacher starts behaving like a student himself. Stay professional, help students with schoolwork, listen to them, talk about their lives, but remember who you are. Even if you are a young teacher, and you are almost of the same age with your students Too nice is not always nice, especially when it comes to teaching. don't go too far & don’t be a dictator.

3. Make your lesson relevant to their lives If you want your students to remember your lessons,

just try to connect the information you provide with some moments of your students' life. You can use some of them as an example, describing this or that situation. it would be more interesting for them to visit such lessons.

Just try to come up with an example so that the students remember your lessons.

you are.  Remember, that time is important for

your students as well, so, there wont be any wastage of time with irrelevant matter. Be conscious &prepare well to maintain your time factor.

your lessons as possible. Students believe that the best teacher is able to teach in a big variety of ways: use books, videos, music, presentations, speeches, and everything that can be interesting for your students to accept (you know them better, so, you will definitely come up with good ideas).

7. A good teacher always has objectives A great teacher establishes clear objectives for each lesson

and works to meet those specific objectives during each class When you start a lesson, you should have lesson plan in your hand with clear objectives make your students understand clearly such a plan will help students concentrate and know what they are supposed to do during this class.
