What You Need As a Teacher
Today's writing sounds real submission over a book entitled 'How to Teach so Student Remember' for me. This work of Ms. Sprenger might be quite old in time of publication but possesses an incredible inspiration.
As a teacher, it is indescribable feeling and satisfaction knowing that our students remember the lesson we taught long in the past. If you are a teacher, undoubtedly you might not deny it. Some of us might experience teaching successfully in any condition. However, a very long-lasting teaching is not merely those of verily unique and inspiring ones. They are completely justifiable. And, Ms. Sprenger explained this in an inspiring way by bringing up 7 steps to get our lesson everlasting.
So, here is the 7 steps and the core explanation:
1. Reach -- The learnable lesson should reach the student
2. Reflect -- Student should be able to reflect on the lesson learnt
3. Recode -- Student should make the lesson his own
4. Reinforce -- Here is where teacher should ensure the understanding
5. Rehearse -- Student stores the lesson into long-term memory
6. Review -- Checking whether misconception is there or not
7. Retrieve -- Student should be able to retrieve the lesson stored in their brain
The above 7 steps and explanation is of course not enough to understand how it might work. This book is structured in very teaching in nature. It comes from the inspiring moment or delightful memory of either Ms. Sprenger's teaching or her counterparts. The interesting thing to learn from this book is the problem solving in each step - how it may work from one another. Interestingly, she also shares some teaching tools to work with these 7 scenarios.
Well done. I wrote this small post as my own notes personally. If you find it interesting, you may then access the book and learn that you can start to make your teaching could hardly be forgot by your students. Thanks for reading
