“A Beautiful Gift for a Future Teacher”

This article title “11 Techniques for a Better Classroom Discipline” by Thomas R. McDaniel is highly interesting and helpful for future teachers to keep in mind useful techniques at the moment of teaching.

Students of pedagogy who are used to speaking soft have always worried about how they would face, perhaps, more than 40 children in a classroom. After reading the article most of them feel more relaxed because they have realized they can take advantage, as future teachers, of their soft voice. Making children know the teacher’s way of working and, at the same time, let them know teachers better, these professionals can get the attention and respect that they need from their pupils without speaking louder and without children feel teachers want to compete with them. As a result, children and teachers could enjoy an effective class developed in a comfortable atmosphere.

Finally, at the moment I read the article I can go back on time and remember those school days when, as a child, I could not realize what to be a teacher means. Nowadays, as a student of pedagogy, I can see how exhausting but rewarding the teacher’s profession could be if I love it and apply the right techniques in a class.

“A Beautiful Gift for a Future Teacher”

First of all, I enjoyed reading the article “11 Techniques for a Better Classroom Discipline” which seemed highly interesting to me. This article gives many useful techniques that, as a future teacher, it is important I am aware of them.

Moreover, while I was reading the article I went back on time and I remembered that when I was at school I could not realize what to be a teacher means. Nowadays, I can see how exhausting but rewarding the teacher’s profession could be if you love it and apply the right techniques in a class.

On the other hand, as an English Pedagogy student who is used to speaking soft I have always worried about how I would face, perhaps, more than 40 children in a classroom. Then, after reading the article I feel more relaxed because I have realized I can take advantage of my soft voice. Making children know my way of working and let them know me better I can get the attention and respect that I need from them without I speak louder and without they feel I want to compete with them. As a result, children and I could enjoy an effective class which developed in a comfortable atmosphere.
