Class Management and Atmosphere

Creating an enjoyable teaching experience 

My first experience at teaching have been wonderful. Every class I go to the school is a challange for me. Talking about Management and Atmosphere, I realized that being a teacher is not an easy roll, but I really like it. When I'm teaching them, there are some students that are difficult to catch their attention because some of them are kind of troublemakers, but If I got the indicated activities, I can handle the class.

I enjoy the class with my students; I like to pay attention to them when they want to say something or when they want to participate; They feel very good when they know the answer for some questions.

Some of my students carrying out an activity

When my students like the activities that I have them develop, they themselves feel secure and confident. There are different kind of students in my class who have amazing habilities like drawing or memorizing. Talking about attitudes, I would like them to have more values. They are used to being so selfish one to another; therefore, they don't like to work in groups. Not all of my students behave in that way of course, but it's something worried.

I consider my way of teaching very active. I like my students to feel confident with me when I'm teaching them. When I'm in front of them, I got too much energy in order to catch their attention and let them participate by themselves; actually, they like to participe by themselves. It's very interesting the way they behave. I would rather develop many activities and games instead of giving them sheetworks to practice, but 15 minutes before finishing the class, I give them sheetworks to practice because it's part of the learning process and also it's  one way of getting knowledge.

I must be concious about what my students need for leaning effectively. Sometimes, it's difficult have the answer for many questions. I try to handle every situation that I'm involved. Treating with little kids could be stressful sometimes, but every single class help me to build up a good relationship with my roll as a teacher. I need to work on the creativity and in many other aspects that a beginner in this arena usually has, such as being patient, speaking louder, and some others.

I have been creating my shor-term goals by every single class I taught. Firstly, I want to get a lot of experience and knowledge putting them together to be a better teacher. I need to be careful with everything at teaching, creativity, grammar, pronunciation and so on. I want to be an excellent professional in my area.That's my long-term goal; that means that I need to work hard step by step. I want to reach my goals by practicing and enjoying.
