5 Basic Lessons to Improve Teaching Among Elementary School Pupils

Teachers who handle elementary school children better understand the twist and turns involved in handling children at such tender age. There is always a thin  line between getting it right and messing up the whole thing when it comes to elementary school teaching. This is why elementary school teachers must always be abreast of success tips that would help them get the best out of the kids under them.

Here, Ms Seyi, a seasoned elementary school teacher, shares her experience and discovery on how best to go about it, if one must do well as an elementary school teacher.

1: It's all about the children.

It's not the big ticket lesson that counts; it's the the hundreds of
little things you do everyday. Things that give the children high
expectations that matters.


2: To change the children's behaviour, you need to change your behaviour.

If you want a stubborn child to change and adhere to rules and
regulations,you must first be humble and adhere to the authority above
you.Show the child the kind of change you want and not orally.


3: Children want recognition

Children do not only want your fifts, rewards or appraisal when they
behave well or score high academically. They also want you to send
positive note to their parents,so their parents can be proud of them.
Make an appraisal note board in your class where the name of every
child that behaves well is written for the whole class to see.


4: Feedback needs to be as fast as possible.
Give the child either written or spoken feedback to help the child
improve or excel higher.


5: Reading makes you a high flier.

As you read books, encourage the children to read also. Not just
textbooks or story books but also texts and quotes from online and
they should paste ut in their class as a reminder of their
achievements as readers..


Succeeding as an elementary school teacher is not a rocket science. All you need is to learn the basic lessons, apply them religiously and you and your pupils would be on top the world.

UK Report: Lack of sex education a ticking time bomb, councils warn

A lack of sex and relationships education (SRE) in some of England's secondary schools is creating a "ticking sexual health time bomb", councils say.

Sex education should be compulsory in all state secondary schools, the Local Government Association (LGA) believes.

It says pupils are not being prepared for adulthood and so are vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections.

Ministers say they are looking at how all pupils can have access to good SRE.

The LGA says age-appropriate SRE should be an essential part of the curriculum for all young people, stressing that parents should still have the choice to take their children out.

But without access to accurate information, pupils are not being adequately prepared for adulthood, the association warns.

It says official figures show there were 78,066 new diagnoses of sexually transmitted infections among 15 to 19-year-olds in England in 2015 and 141,060 among 20 to 24-year-olds.

Local authorities, which have responsibility for public health, budget around £600m a year for sexual health, it added.

Young people's dissatisfaction with SRE

• "A lot of us are turning 16 and it's legal to have intercourse, we need to be educated about signs of an abusive relationship emotionally." 15-year-old girl
• "Sex was still regarded as a taboo subject and the teachers seemed uncomfortable talking about it. The whole concept was approached purely biologically with no regards to relationships at all and was pushed into a few lessons at the end of term alongside drugs education." 15-year-old boy
• "I was sexually abused and no-one told me what was done to me was wrong. We got stranger danger and how to cross the road and that was it. He was my granddad. I didn't like it but didn't know it was wrong but thought I should be embarrassed as I thought it was my fault. If I had known it was wrong and that I could say something and someone had listened, it might have stopped earlier or I might have told before I did." 16-year-old girl
