There are both new and experienced teachers on this site. Offer any advice no matter how small to those who are just starting out.
It is helpful to learn all of your students names as soon as possible. If you need to play a name game on the first day of school for your sake. Then as they come in the room welcome them by name. This is very impressive and helps them understand that you care about them individually. They also think you are super smart. My father used to learn their names before the first day of school because he had access to their pictures. Then he would pretend he had physic powers and he would go around the room pretending he could tell by their faces what their name was. He made sure to skip the students with difficult names to make it look real but would go back to them at the end. |

I got this idea from how our faculty meetings are run believe it or not.
Cut up your syllabus into maybe six sections, if you do not include your class procedures in your syllabus you may want to add that to this activity. Put your students in groups of six and have each of them read their section quietly. Then have them share their section of the syllabus. After they are done give the students markers and crayons and have them make pictures about the section of the syllabus they were given. Then have the students who have the same sections find each other and have each group present their rules again to the class but this time sharing their pictures. This way you can hang up the best pictures and have your rules posted for the rest of the year. If you do not want that many pictures you can have the students with the same sections of the syllabus find each other first and then have them create a LARGE joint poster. You can follow this up with an open notebook quiz about the rules in your class. Are there any other ideas to help students PAY ATTENTION when the important information about the syllabus is being relayed? |
