Not everyone is born, with an innate ability to be an effective teacher. Rather, it is an important skill acquired through dedication and effort. Being a teacher required a tremendous amount of commitment; a long – hand motivation, and an unrelenting passion to succeed far beyond expectation of others, while retraining a resilient connection between students and other colleagues.

Successful teaching is not about the passion I ignite in my students. If my students are assionately studying their lesson each week and eagerly looking forward to their next lesson everyday something is missing. My students imply that group lesson were not effective but I can guarantee I had nothing to do with the group lesson and everything to do with the teacher inability to ignite the passion.

So how do I ignite my passion to my fellow Science teachers and to my students? Here are my five top tips.

Firstly, I must be passionate about teaching to e ven begin to have a chance. I must be excited about watching any students develop and improve everyday. I used FUSE videos in my grade VI science classes. I captured the interest of the Grade VI pupils or in the science lesson through interesting and meaningful presentation of science concepts. I provided my pupil with support instructional materials that will make every science lesson enduring and interesting.

Next I need to find out what ignites each student my students for example respond well when praised in front of their student. When I have my demo teaching in our school I invited my parents to watch my demo teaching with the use of these videos. My students were very active to participate in the class discussion, when I will asked questions to my students, they were very confident to answer my questions. I’ll never forget to praise my students.

I’ll keep them moving forward. I’ll see to it that my students make progress no matter how small in every lesson. Through the assessment evaluation I’m giving to my students. It’s my responsibility to check if my students are progressing.

Build confidence: Confident pupils will make faster progress. I will always try again. I’ll keep saying “GO NOW YOU CAN DO IT”. If my students is struggling the exercise maybe too difficult or too fast. I’ll find their starting point and build from there. Pupil’s confidence is critical.

Communication with parents. I believe that parents have important role to play with their children. They were may partners for the success of my student because of the help of the parents and open communication, it is of great help to me and to our school. It’s really very effective and it was tested and proven.
