Modern principles of effective teaching

Set the basic rules unanimously, and best of all, if the power of your voice is on par with the votes of successors. This is a very effective practice, which is aimed at freedom and full-fledged disclosure of the potential of the interacting parties.

To get acquainted in general terms with the features of this technique, you can in our article about the Summerhill School of Freedom - where we tell you what the fundamental difference between freedom and permissiveness is. And if the impressions of Summerhill's educational methods pierce you, then you know: you can always expand your ideas by referring to the book of the same name or film.

At the beginning of each lesson, provide its full structure to the student so that he is aware of what he is going to work with; laconically set the goal, subtasks and take a place to conduct bright short notes - they contribute to better memorization of the material.

Avoid excessive haste, in addition, and from information that ultimately can not be applied in practice. In good schools, and especially in those where oriental philosophies are taught, for example, yoga or ayurveda - the student can not move on until he masters the current level and learns to fully apply it in practice.

Do not be shy about your ignorance - a good teacher understands and recognizes that ignorance is the right way to knowing the world.

If possible, then always start learning from the "experience" stage, and not from the "theory" stage. Most people to some extent have a real life experience, intersecting in some way with the problems of the studied subject, whether it's marketing, foreign language problems or wood burning.

Evaluate students only on their personal progress, not on imaginary criteria. To account for progress, use one hundred point system and self-marks.
