Teachers play a
huge role in inspiring a lifelong love for learning in
children. Here are some of the ways I have seen this happen.
1) Building
relationships with parents
If teachers and parents of students
constantly work together, the students continuously get the same message. This
ensures that there is no ambiguity regarding what is being taught and the
student learns to appreciate knowledge, skills and content. At Oakridge, we conduct a variety of curriculum
orientations and are constantly guiding parents on how to become more involved
in their child’s learning.
2) Enabling
Success
Love for learning, more often than
not, is accompanied by success in the field. If the child feels that he/she
will be able to successfully complete tasks, overcome obstacles and navigate
the course of study independently, he/she will want to learn more. Success must
be recognised (publicly if possible) so that the taste of success drives the
desire for greater success. At Oakridge, we recognize student learning not just
in the classroom but at public assemblies, formal ceremonies and through
various electronic media as well. For full article click here
