Thinking Thursday: The Don'ts & Don'ts of Teaching


Strange to have a "don'ts and don'ts" list, but the author explains...

Here's a GREAT article from ASCD for novice AND experienced teachers!!! Wish I knew all these when I was teaching! It will be 5-10 minutes well spent to refine your teaching craft… Here's the abbreviated list, but read the details at the link above:

1. Don't try to teach too much in one day.

2. Don't teach a lesson without a student activity.
3. Don't send kids to the office.
4. Don't allow students to shout out answers.
5. Don't make tests too hard.
6. Don't be indecisive.

7. Don't tell a student you're calling home.

8. Don't try to be a buddy.
9. Don't dress too casually.
10. Don't babble.
