Ms. A.Josephine Jenifer

1. Students care more about fairness than anything else. This seems to be a very strong human sentiment.
2. Make yourself approachable.
3. Kids don’t stay angry for a long time (unlike adults who can hold grudges for years).
4. Hands-on lab work is important for the learning experience in the sciences.
5. Don’t kill the fun of labs by burying the kids in one lab report after another.
6. Treat your students as human beings. Respect them and they will respect you.
7. Don’t underestimate the power of busy work but it should not be the mainstay of your teaching.
8. Nothing beats a strong explanation.
As teachers we need to bear these firmly in mind.
