What is your teaching philosophy?
My purpose as a teacher is fulfilled when my student is able to assume the teacher role before inquiring minds.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
By assessing their likes and dislikes and encouraging learning styles to fit their likes.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Positive reinforcement.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I will reassess their understanding of the material. I will break the material down further and/or use a different approach to present the material.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I'll first assess if it is a lack of knowledge of definitions, a lack of deductive reasoning skills or lack of abstract thinking. Once the problem is identified, we will proceed with practice.
What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?
Listening and frequent assessments.
