How to become an effective teacher
Effective teachers are the basic prerequisite for effective teaching. Effective teaching is also an important guarantee for improving school teaching quality. The times are constantly advancing, and we are facing a huge variety of students, so our ideas need to be updated, methods need to be explored, and cultivation needs to be tempered.
Promote curriculum reform and implement quality education. As front-line teachers, we have a huge and sacred mission. All teachers have some impact on the academic lives of the students they teach, but some teachers consistently have a greater and more positive impact, seeming to get along better with their students and being more successful in teaching them. Such teachers are called "effective" teachers. Nowadays, most parents of children hope that their children can be taught by a teacher who is dedicated, loves students, and has high teaching ability. Recall that our teaching life is the classroom, and the position where teachers and students cooperate in teaching is the classroom. If we If the classroom cannot allow students to have endless aftertaste and linger on the knowledge they have learned, then our learning is inefficient. Ye Shengtao once said: "Teaching is for the sake of not teaching." Then I must pursue effective teaching in the classroom, make my classroom my life, the spiritual home of students, and constantly improve my professional knowledge.
To become an effective teacher, you must cultivate the characteristics or qualities that effective teachers have or should have, and strive to demonstrate these teaching behaviors in teaching practice; prompt teachers to realize that teachers can only teach through their actions Only students who are the main body of teaching can play a role in effective teaching, recognize the complexity and dynamic changes of teaching, encourage teachers to teach flexibly, show teaching tact, and achieve effective teaching.
1. Effective teachers must love their career and pursue excellence
If a teacher is interested in and passionate about education, he will have the innate advantage to become a successful teacher. The famous saying says: "Love is the best teacher." "As long as you have unlimited enthusiasm, a person can succeed in almost anything." I have deep experience of this in teaching. Every day I approach the classroom and see the cute and innocent smiling faces, I feel indescribable love and joy in my heart. Feeling and enjoying the time with the children, I feel that I have become much younger. I continue to grow in my teaching work, and the students continue to grow and improve in the Chinese classroom teaching, and the Chinese class has become a *** with them. A platform for learning, exchange and growth.
I feel that my love for education sprouted in the teaching process and became increasingly intense in the mutual contact with students. As a Chinese teacher, I deeply feel the huge impact of the new curriculum on primary school Chinese teaching and the changes that have followed: teachers’ teaching concepts have changed, the roles of teachers and students have changed, classroom teaching models have changed, and teaching methods have changed. More diverse. The beautiful texts in the Chinese class attracted my children and me. We study and play in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. I invested a lot of enthusiasm and energy in my work, constantly tried, summarized, and reflected, and finally formed a set of feasible teaching plans for teaching, and achieved good results in teaching practice.
A deep love for teachers can also create a teacher’s professional loyalty and lofty career vision. If you love students deeply, you will not only focus on teaching knowledge and passing exams well, but you must be determined to teach them for life. Benefit from things and provide the best education for their growth and development; if you love your career deeply, you will not be satisfied with the success you get, but you must pursue excellence, create "better", and constantly push the education industry to the top.
2. Effective teachers must master professional knowledge and increase their knowledge reserves
As Tao Xingzhi said: "Only teachers who are tireless of learning can teach students who are tireless of learning." “Teachers need to pay close attention to their professional development. Whether you are a new teacher who has just stepped onto the stage or an experienced teacher with many years of teaching experience, please keep up with the development trends of your major. If you are a middle school teacher, please order a middle school student magazine; if you are an English teacher, please actively participate in some related seminars. Only teachers who are proficient in professional knowledge and educational psychology can choose, plan and implement the most effective teaching. Only by mastering professional knowledge can teachers be able to flexibly handle and use teaching materials creatively when teaching, and only then can they know "to what extent they have been taught and to what extent they have learned", and only then can they clearly guide students' thinking back to the right path when students have problems. It may be a more natural way to expand teaching resources. Only by being familiar with the knowledge of pedagogy and psychology can teachers implement teaching according to the laws of education and teaching and the laws of students' physical and mental development in order to achieve effective teaching results. Therefore, we must constantly improve our knowledge base, enhance our personal value, and be a people's teacher that students like, parents expect, and we are satisfied with.
3. Effective teachers should teach based on morality and accumulate through dedication
“Come with a heart and leave without a straw”, Mr. Tao Xingzhi’s words , which symbolizes the noble moral realm of effective teachers. It is impossible to be a teacher without virtue, and it is impossible to be an effective teacher without high virtue. The ancients said: "It is easy to find a Confucian teacher, but it is difficult to find a personal teacher." It means that the teacher's virtue is more valuable than the teacher's talent. Teacher ethics determines the teacher's work attitude, degree of commitment, and the status of the teacher-student relationship. It is directly related to the reliability and validity of education, and directly affects students' thoughts, emotions, and attitudes. Only with noble teacher ethics and superb teaching skills can a generation of teachers be formed.
4. Effective teachers should be willing to learn, be good at learning, and never tire of learning
Modern society is a society that requires lifelong learning, and the teaching profession is a profession that particularly requires learning. Learning is an important part of teachers' work and life. "Learning is work" is becoming more and more widely accepted as a modern concept. As promoters of social civilization, teachers should become models of love for learning and leaders of lifelong learning. Mr. Tao Xingzhi said: "Teachers must study and educate every day so that they can have the joy of teaching without the pain of teaching." There are many role models around us who deserve our respect and learning. In teaching, I regard learning as an eternal need for my own survival and development, contribution to society and realization of self-worth. I learn from books, practice, and various information channels, draw thousands of clear springs, gather thousands of rich mines, and gather the strengths of hundreds of schools to constantly enrich myself. I firmly believe that lifelong learning is the need for educating people. Only teachers who are not tired of learning can teach students who are not tired of learning.
5. Effective teachers must have a childish heart and an elderlike demeanor
Effective teachers have an unfailing childlike heart. They always remain sincere, enthusiastic, optimistic and positive. I am willing to stay with students, do activities together, play games, observe nature together, and discuss problems together. Always emotionally connected with students, rejoicing, worrying, and being excited together. Teacher Si Xia still got along closely with primary school students until she was seventy or eighty years old. Teacher Tan Ao was immersed in small inventions with his students all day long, and he never tired of it for many years. This childlike innocence is actually a strong sense of professionalism. In teaching, I can proudly say that I have an unyielding childlike innocence. It is this childlike innocence that also makes me win the love of my classmates. Rich and interesting teaching activities, vivid language, and clever teaching design allow students to experience something new and novel in every class. Singing, jumping, and playing games with the children. The same childlike innocence as the children makes us no distance apart, and the teaching effect can be imagined.
Teachers’ elder style is characterized by maturity, stability, tolerance, generosity, good control and cultivation. Effective teachers always devote themselves to educational work with a stable mood and a happy mood. They are good at creating a cordial, harmonious and pleasant educational atmosphere, so that students can enter the best learning state and stimulate them to learn and develop lively, lively and proactively. Effective teachers can also calmly face conflicts at work and students' "troublemaking", or they can provide guidance and prescribe the right medicine, or they can calmly resolve them skillfully.
6. Effective teachers must be honest, open and good at communication
Effective teachers have strong affinity and cohesion, and can create a good interpersonal atmosphere that is conducive to work development and student growth. . Be good at communicating with students, establish a democratic and harmonious teacher-student relationship, and become an amiable, respectable and trustworthy friend of students. The teacher-student relationship is the cornerstone of the education building. It is not only the background condition for the implementation of education, but also a potential education in itself. There is an old teacher in our school, Teacher. This teacher can handle the teacher-student relationship very well. The students respect and love her. She is skilled in teaching and can handle classroom teaching with ease. Her relationship with her students is harmonious and harmonious. Teachers and students work well together in class, and students' progress is quite rapid. Teacher Wang is in poor health, and the students feel sorry for her. During a discussion between the principal and students, the students said to the principal emotionally: "Principal, every time we go to the office, we see Teacher Wang lying on the table writing. Can you allocate less work to her? Wang The teacher's health is not good!" The student's plain words are enough to show Teacher Wang's status in the students' minds. Students respect her and love her. It is conceivable that her affinity and cohesion will also play a big role in teaching.
Effective teachers must also handle relationships with colleagues, leaders and the outside world well, not be troubled by interpersonal conflicts, and try to seek help and understanding from surrounding relationships, and seek opportunities for learning and progress.
7. Effective teachers must view themselves correctly and strive for self-improvement
Have a correct self-awareness and be able to correctly understand and accept themselves through self-observation, self-experience, and self-evaluation. This is psychological General standards of health. Effective teachers have strong self-awareness, can make correct analysis and judgments about themselves and their environment, can self-study according to social norms and the social value of educational work, value their professional positions very much, and are confident in doing their jobs well. , do not belittle oneself, always face education work with a good attitude, face the environment and oneself, and be a down-to-earth person and work.

Five key teacher actions for effective teaching.
1． Clear teaching
refers to how clearly the teacher presents content to the class. An effective teacher makes key points easy for students to understand, explains concepts clearly so students can understand them step by step in a logical sequence, speaks clearly and unambiguously, and has no special habits that distract students. On the other hand, "less effective" teachers use vague, ambiguous or unclear language, or use overly complex sentences, or give students instructions that are often difficult for students to understand and require repeated explanations. Not all teachers communicate clearly and directly with students; they often go off topic, speak either beyond students' understanding level, or speak in a way that diminishes the clarity of content presentation. If you teach clearly, you'll spend less time presenting the material, and your students will answer your questions correctly the first time, giving you more time to teach.
2. Diversified teaching
refers to the diverse or flexible presentation of class content. One of the most effective methods is to ask questions. Teachers can ask a variety of different types of questions. If they are combined with the rhythm and sequence of the class, meaningful and diverse teaching can be produced. Therefore, teachers need to master the art of asking questions. Another obviously effective way to diversify teaching is the use of learning materials, equipment, display methods, classroom space, etc. The material texture and various visual effects in the classroom can increase the diversity of teaching and connect with students' Attention related. The higher the student's attention level, the higher the teaching effectiveness. It seems that being able to attract students' "eyeballs" is an important characteristic of effective teachers.
3. Task orientation
refers to how much classroom time is devoted to teaching. The more time teachers spend teaching, the more opportunities students have to learn. Before and after class, teachers should ask themselves: How much time did I spend teaching and asking questions? How much time is spent encouraging students to consult or think independently? How much time do I spend organizing instruction and preparing students to learn? How much time do I spend assessing student behavior? If a teacher spends most of his time teaching relevant content, instead of spending time on processes and teaching materials that may only be needed first, and then allowing students to obtain the teaching content, by contrast, students in his class will Can achieve higher achievements. If the interaction between teachers and students in the classroom focuses on thinking content and giving students access to learning opportunities, then the success rate of students in this classroom may be higher.
4． Guide students to engage in the learning process and increase students' learning time.
The time students actually invest in learning is different from the time it takes to teach a certain knowledge point. Teachers' teaching is basically used for students' learning. If 1/4 of the students are distracted at any time during class, then the effectiveness will be compromised.
5． Ensuring student success
is the rate at which students understand and accurately complete the exercises. If a student understands the task and only occasionally makes mistakes due to carelessness, then the student's success rate is high; if the student does not fully understand the task and makes some substantial mistakes, then the success rate is medium; and if the student does not understand the task at all, let alone complete the task , then this is an inefficient and ineffective lesson. Teachers' task orientation (teaching time) and students' engagement rates are closely related to student success rates. Teaching with a high success rate is conducive to improving students' self-esteem and enhancing students' positive attitudes towards subject content and learning, which is the greatest pursuit of effective teachers. Organizing and arranging instruction that produces moderate to high levels of success are hallmark characteristics of effective teachers.
