It could be very hard for a novice teacher to train students in various of competitions. It could be tougher when both teachers and students teach and learn at home. What are the tips that could help a novice teacher to overcome all these? Here are some of my tips in guiding my pupils.
First, I read through the concept papers, rules and regulations clearly when I was noticed to train the pupils. I brainstorm of some possible questions that could be asked by the parents and students.
After have a clear picture regarding the competition, I came out with a plan to train them, including briefing and scheduling the meeting with the students. Then, I have a discussion with the teachers to select which pupil is the best for each different competition. I reported the progress to Senior Assistant of Co-curricular and asked for suggestions. After that, I contacted the pupils for their willingness and parents for their consent.
When everything is ready, then have a WhatsApp group with all the participants and teachers involved in. This may decrease misunderstandings. Then, you may definitely proceed to your training part. Training is totally based on a teacher's creativity. Of course, having a short briefing on the concept papers with the pupils and parents is the utmost important. Then, you may start your training.
The last tip would be communication. Communication is always the important key. As having good communication between teacher-parent or teacher-admin is every important, therefore, the choices of words and tones are very important. Always be humble and smile when talk to anyone of them. Be firm when you're doing the right thing, accept comments and suggestions with an open heart.
As a novice teacher, we should also accept new challenges and be positive with everything given. When you are in the right attitude, everything will be smooth.
