10 Ways to Help Your Teacher
Your teachers want you to succeed, but YOU have to help them.
They teach you about a particular subject like science, math or English. And they do much, much more.
In combination with your parents, teachers show you how to take responsibility, how to get along with others, how to handle stress, how to improve your communication skills and how to believe in yourself. They teach you how to manage your time, how to set goals and how to make better personal decisions. So how can you help them?
10 Ways to Help YOUR Teachers
1. Listen—really listen—in class
2. Improve your note-taking skills
3. Take part in the class discussions
4. Review your subject notes before class
5. If necessary, change your seat assignment
6. Do an extra-credit project
7. Ask questions
8. Double check your homework and test material before handing them in
9. Hand your homework in on time
10. Two days before a test, do some additional studying in that subject area
Teachers have goals, called lesson plans, for each of their classes. For example, how do you teach students about the metric system if they have never been exposed to the concept? A lesson plan is a step-by-step breakdown of how the teacher plans to accomplish this task. Then, how do teachers measure how well you are learning the material?
You guessed it. Tests, quizzes, class participation and term papers are the tools they use to measure their success. They tell the teacher if your class needs further review or can move to a new topic.
Here’s the key. The above ten rules will help your teacher succeed. The bonus - you will succeed also.
Ideas for Implementation:
1. Take one item for the week and work to improve in that area.
2. Show your teachers what you are doing and ask for their help.
3. Ask a student who is good in note taking to give you a couple of pointers.
10 Steps to Better Grades
Dreams are your “door opener” to opportunity. The key is turning the dreams into a plan and then taking action on the plan.
When used properly dreams are a springboard to your future success. They are your tools for self-exploration and will provide you with ideas, enthusiasm, and determination.
How to turn your dream of higher grades into positive results:
1. Dreams increases inspiration - Challenge to actively think about getting higher grades.
2. Inspiration increases ambition - Challenge to dedicate yourself to getting them.
3. Ambition increases desire - Dare to ask someone to help you.
4. Desire increases enthusiasm - Dare to think positively about getting higher grades.
5. Enthusiasm increases motivation - Dare to tell others about your excitement.
6. Motivation increases planning - Dare to clearly define your challenge or desire. What grade do you want? Which subject?
7. Planning increase goal setting - Dare to write down your goal, add specific action steps and a completion date.
8. Goal setting increases determination - Confront to move closer to your goal by completing your action steps that move you closer to your goal.
9. Determination increases action - Dare to take positive action on your dreams.
10. Action increases results - Congratulate yourself on a job well done.
You are a WINNER!
Make sure your dreams are telling you that on a regular basis.
Suggestions for implementation:
1. If dreams are the door opener to opportunity, then what can you do to ensure your dreams are positive? Discuss your ideas with your family or friends.
2. Finish this statement: My actions today will _______________.
Questions for discussion:
1. Of the ten items listed above, which do you think is the most important?
