My pedagogical credo: importance, values and priorities. Nowadays, it is extremely important for each individual to preserve basic human values and develop essential knowledge, skills and abilities that will help him/her to live and achieve success in the contemporary world.

My pedagogical credo:

For me it’s about: Creation a positive atmosphere for learning Involving learners in important decisions Ensuring good discipline, order in the

classroom Social skills Active participation in classroom activities

What’s Classroom management?

Classroom management - the art of carefully preparing, presenting, disciplining and controlling activities.

Discipline - is about teaching people appropriate behavior and helping them to become stronger or more in control of his emotions and being independent and responsible.

LEAD Instantly impact students by helping

them develop skills they need to compete in a challenging global market. Parents and colleagues will appreciate your work as they see students using these skills in daily life.

Why do we teach??

INSPIRE The role of the teacher has changed

significantly: Rather than being a purveyor of knowledge, the teacher joins the students as the learning leader. Share your knowledge and use your imagination and ingenuity to bring your subject to life in ways students will always remember.

Why do we teach??

INNOVATE Do it by removing the walls between

classrooms and real life. Be innovative yourself. This is the kicker, because

innovation requires the willingness to fail, a focus on fuzzy outcomes rather than standardized measures, But the reward is a kind of liberating creativity that makes teaching exciting and fun, engages students, and—most critical—helps students find the passion and resources necessary to design a better life for themselves and others.

Why do we teach??

Effective classroom management:

Establish and sustain an orderly

environment in the classroom.

Increase meaningful academic learning and facilitate social

and emotional growth.

Decrease negative behaviors and

increase time spent academically

engaged.

If a child lives in society and understanding, he learns to find love in this world;

If a child is criticized, he learns to hate; If a child lives with patience, he learns to understand others; If a child is constantly ridiculed, he becomes withdrawn; If the child is praised, he learns to be appreciative; If a child lives in a hostile environment, he learns

aggressiveness; If your child cheer her up, he learns to believe in himself; If a child lives in a clean, he learns to be fair; If a child lives in security, he learns to believe in people; If the child is supported, encouraged, he learns to appreciate

himself.

Vital truths that will help the class teacher in the education

Problematic students are the nightmare of every teacher but there are ways to deal with them. First, remember to praise any naughty kid for any good thing they do in front of all the other children. If necessary exaggerate! "Look everybody! Leyla has her notebook today! Well done! You are a very good student, Leyla! I'm proud of you!", and so on. After a few weeks they will crave your praise, so then feel free to use that. Make little naughty-no-more kids your helpers. Let them distribute the worksheets, play with the puppet etc.

Being fair is vitally important if effective learning is to take place. The teacher cannot be unfair, either to the class as a whole or to particular students. Most teachers have students that they like or dislike more than others, but they cannot allow themselves to show their preferences and prejudices in front of the class. When the teacher has a negative attitude to learning and does not really care what is happening in the classroom he or she is also likely to lose the respect of pupils. Losing the respect is the first step to cause problems of misbehavior

Parents take their child to school with the hope that it will fall into the hands of intelligent, humane teachers who will provide it with appropriate care. This is not enough. Only if joint, co-ordinated activities teachers and parents can achieve success in your work.

Working with parents is the key to success.

Teamwork, games and sense of competitiveness (students love competitions and young learners are no exception)
