Ten Errors Teachers Avoid In The Classroom


  •    Unreadiness for class – Coming unprepared for class is the loss of valuable teaching time. It also shows a negative behavior      
  •  
  •      Aggression  It is just not fine if the teacher lose temper in front of the students. Especially if you are an Early Years Foundation Stage teacher. Rebuilding  relationship with students is not that easier as it seems to be. Try to keep calm and make effort as to avoid yelling. Also focus on your behavioral aspects and change the things that need to be changed. 
  •       
  • Shouting- Students like shouting at them. This will cause them to slowly dislike you and may result in distrust too. Also by yelling, you can never follow the prepared lesson  plan. pupils will more listen to you, when you speak in a normal voice. While raising your voice, it seems like you are showering your frustrations in front of them. Clear communication will make learning an easier and enjoyable task as well.
  •       
  • Immobility  Teachers sitting at the beginning of the class is okay. But remaining in that position throughout the class may create lack of interest and motivation in students
  •   
  •  Lack  of  class control – Never loose control of the class. Take control of the class. Students may become excited and may lead to noisiness. New  teachers might find it difficult, but it is a skill that can easily be developed. An ideal way would be to create signals such as clapping of  hands or raising hands to keep them quiet. Or kneeling down
  •  
  • Humiliation – Never hurt the self-respect and self worth of a student. He/she will lose confidence in your teaching. Also they will never  totally trust you.
  •  
  • Over friendliness – Most new teachers make this error. They try to win the students by not being too strict  on discipline, which may result in disdain. Make sure to follow  strict on rules that teaches  discipline. Also never be too free with students to discuss your personal information. 
  •  
  • Late behavioral guidelines – Setting rules in the beginning of the session helps to create a peaceful atmosphere during the whole year. Routines and rules, established late will fail to serve the purpose
  • .
  • Pulling down other teachers – Talking ill about other teachers ,staff, in the school will be of no gain at all. It is better to discuss directly with the teacher or staff member whom you have issues with and solve the problem him or her. 
  •  
  • Too  much authoritativeness – A teacher/staff’s authority is a responsibility. Never misunderstand that. Being too authoritative and hard may result in students being scared of you. Your aim should be to be respected, loved and not to be feared by them.
