Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Teacher’s Guide to Inspire, Motivate, and Provide the Best Learning Experience For Your Students. Are you a teacher who struggles with classroom management and lesson planning? Alternatively, are you considering becoming a teacher and are looking to develop the essential teaching skills? A lot of teachers claim teaching is the most challenging, and at the same time, the most rewarding job in the world. Not many get the chance to shape young minds and influence people to achieve great things in life. Teachers do... but it’s a hard road to travel on. Most people don’t even realize the challenges teachers face every day. From lesson planning to dealing with problematic students and overbearing parents, teachers have to juggle various responsibilities all at once. The biggest one, of course, is providing the best possible learning experience for students. This particular task is extremely difficult--you have to be able to motivate and inspire a certain group of people every day while maintaining authority and making sure they understand the material. It’s no wonder then, that many teachers feel like they’ve given everything they have and struggle to keep their students interested. The education system doesn’t help much with this particular problem--most of the time, you simply get a curriculum and they send you on your own way. If you’re a freelance teacher, you don’t even get that. It’s a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, this cold-hearted system is hindering education in general, and leaving teachers to their own means can backfire and have serious sociological consequences. But on the other hand, the system provides a crazy amount of freedom for teachers to do their own thing and be creative and versatile in their jobs. This, of course, puts an enormous amount of pressure on teachers, especially young, new teachers who are only starting to find their own teaching style. With the emergence of online classrooms and various virtual educational tools, teaching has become an art, and the teaching skills that were once valued before simply don’t compare in this new, digital world. Luckily, some of those skills are still considered essential and can be applied to both physical and virtual classrooms. In Teaching Yourself to Teach, you will discover: 8+ types of learners that will help you appraise your students and come up with the best teaching strategies for each one of them Blended learning techniques that allow you to incorporate digital tools in your real-life classrooms to enhance the learning experience A guidebook on classroom management, that will help even the most inexperienced teacher establish authority from the start Numerous tips and strategies for boosting motivation and inspiring students to excel in your class, even if you have some that are currently struggling Simple lesson planning instructions, carefully designed to make sure your classes are of the highest educational quality Tips on how to deal with problematic students and help them overcome their various learning issues And much more. Even if you’re an excellent teacher, adored by both students and parents, it never hurts to upgrade your skills to improve and enrich your teaching style. As a teacher, all you want is for your students to be passionate about learning and realize the potential you know they’re capable of reaching. If you want to develop crucial teaching skills and discover how to plan and execute the best classes possible, then scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button right now.
