TOUGH TASK FOR TEACHERS

TEACHERS HAVE the huge task of ensuring, at best, that each student demonstrates incremental improvement in knowledge of all subject areas. Since each teacher is responsible to impart knowledge and monitor the progress of hundreds of students, it makes it difficult to give much-needed attention on a one-to-one basis.

Teachers exert a lot of energy every day within the classroom coming up with innovative ways to best connect with their students – giving assignments and encouraging students to revise and study daily. Nonetheless, we provide below three tips on how to study so that students might find beneficial:

It is important that students develop a timetable which strikes a balance between academics and social engagements, as both are necessary for holistic development. This type of planning teaches time management and how to set priorities.

Use test papers to guide study topics this ensures that students understand that tests are for them to know the areas that they have not grasped. Encourage them to study the topics that they have gotten incorrect and then attempt the questions again. This way, we know they are paying attention to the subjects they like as well as dislike.

Never neglect the subjects you excel in (your favourites), but equal or more attention should be given to those subjects for which your performance has deteriorated.

Being productive and successful is not based on talent or gift but how you apply yourself to accomplish the goals you set yourself.
