I love the children. But the class material is interesting too and I am always |
learning something. It keeps me in touch with the Spanish-speaking community |
and allows me to maintain my mastery of the language. Parents are great |
sources of information and I love learning from them. But the work load is heavy |
and, with correcting and planning, the after-school hours are surprisingly long. |
Tips |
Take a classroom management course. Become certified in English as a second |
language. Collaborate with other teachers in the school. Learning from |
experienced teachers can help you tremendously. Engage the parents in the |
learning process. They love the classroom and will lend their support to your |
efforts. |
Additional Information |
You need to be patient and caring but firm and outspoken in your objectives. A |
teacher has to establish clear expectations for her students in order to persuade |
them to succeed. They should not be forced to guess what you want from them. |
Still, you need to temper your firmness with a generosity of spirit that your kids will |
respond to. |
