*WHAT SOME TEACHERS DIDN’T

KNOW ABOUT TEACHING*


By MK SIABWAZUNGA

1. 👉�� Teaching is not politics where you


win votes by talking.
2. 👉�� The result of teaching is learning.
There is no teaching if learning has not
taken place.
3. 👉�� Teaching is not about answering
questions but raising questions.
4. 👉�� Good teaching must be slow
enough so that it is not confusing, and fast
enough so that it is not boring.
5. 👉�� In an effective classroom, pupils
do not only know what they are doing, they
should also know why and how?
6. 👉�� Good teaching is more of a giving
right questions than a giving of right
answer.
7. 👉�� The test of a good teacher is not
how many questions he can ask his pupils
that they will answer readily, but how many
questions he inspires them to ask which he
finds it hard to answer.
8. 👉�� It must be remembered that the
purpose of education is not to fill the minds
of pupils with facts….it is to teach them to
think, if that is possible, and always to think
for themselves.
9. 👉�� You can not make people learn.
You can only provide the right conditions
for learning to take place.
10. 👉�� If children can feel safe, they can
take risks, ask questions, make mistakes,
learn to trust, share their feelings and grow.
11. 👉�� Kids don’t remember what you try
to teach them. They remember what you
are.
12. 👉�� To teach pupils effectively you
must touch their hearts long before you
begin to teach their minds.
13. 👉�� Do not limit your children to your
own learning, for they were born in another
time.
14. The best teachers are those who show
you where to look but don’t tell you what to
see.
15. 👉�� If a child is not learning the way
you are teaching, then you must teach
them in the way the child learns.
16. 👉�� Good teachers are those who
know how little they know. Bad teachers
are those who think they know more than
they don’t know.
17. 👉�� Teaching children what to think
limits them to your ideas. Teaching them
how to think makes their ideas unlimited.
