Description
The purpose of this article is to give seven habits of highly effective teachers at any level of teaching, whether it is K-12 or postsecondary. Teachers today are facing more challenges than teachers did 20 years ago, and those challenges are continuing to grow. As technology continues to boom, students in some instances are excelling ahead of their teachers in the area of technology. Students today have access to cell phones, personal computers, internet, and other technical gadgets. Teachers have to be more creative to keep students engaged in the classroom. The new millennium student is turned off by long lectures, and they now understand the saying death by PowerPoint. One of the first things to take over the classroom is to implement what's called the 2 Minute Offense Principle. It's where the teacher gets his/her point across in the first 2 minutes of class, and has activity going within the first 2 minutes of class. A teacher can start class with an icebreaker, a group activity, and/or a warm-up game. Students will then pull away from cell phones and laptops, and get involved immediately. The sport of football changed forever in the 80's when the San francisco 49ers implemented what's now called the West Coast Offense. They basically tried to score on every play of the game, and they did not rest long between plays. Our teaching needs to have the same enthusiasm. We need well planned out activities, and we need to keep the student engaged from the time they hit the door until the bell rings.
