Good practices in teaching #1

i'm starting this to help myself pick up good things as well as deter from negative stuff.
to begin with, i met 2 really cool tutors in class today, which somehow really gives me the feeling of a well-spent day at NIE.

Tactic:
- Have fun, be relaxed, be natural
- Model for students (if you wan them to read e notes, u can pretend to be reading)
- Proximity (Go near them to subtlely stop their -ve behavior)
(adapted from raymond tan - CPA)

Tactic:
- 10 - 15min warm up b4 lesson (to cater for late-comers)
- cartoons, magic, videos
- Exaggerate
- Mind reading trick (raise the stake!)
- Story of poor farmer (how to counter the cunning loan shark)
- Magic Trick/Teaching must have value
(adapted from katoh - Physics)

It's hard to find good teachers, even here in NIE. I really appreciate those who make the effort to enhance my learning in this short one yr. 3 cheers to you guys!!
