The first contact a teacher has with her/his new students
often makes a lasting impression and sets the tone for the entire experience. Here
are some ideas on how to make that first impression a positive one.
·
Be
sure to smile.
·
Write
your name on the board. This helps the students remember your name and gives
them a chance to write it down.
·
Pronounce
your name slowly and clearly. If your name is unusual or difficult to
pronounce, you may want to talk about the origin of your name. Do you think the name MWAMBANDILE is easy to them?
·
Talk
about your teaching experience or your motivation for becoming a teacher. Be
creative.
·
Communicate
your expectations. You are there to teach, but you also are there to learn.
·
Let
your students know what you expect of them. This can help motivate them to do
good work.
·
Take
a deep breath and go for it! You are about to embark on a wonderful adventure.
