"Our family is the kind of children who are very shy, very introverted, not only don't interact with the teacher in class, at home and we do not communicate much, grades have been hovering in the middle and lower, we are anxious but can't help the point."
"Children often tell me that they don't like math, think it is very boring and boring, so the foundation is relatively poor, every test is not careless or don't want to do."
"My child's learning state is like a teacher, will like that subject, the grades will be better, encountered impatient teacher, he will back off."
...
Every child's foundation, habits and learning situation are different, in the study of difficulties, difficulties are not the same. Respect for children's personality, guide children's all-round development, teachers in addition to help children improve the framework of knowledge, to solve the learning of the "intractable disease", also need to pay attention to the spiritual world of children.
Solve learning difficulties for children with professionalism and responsibility
"Everyone is questioned by life, and he can only answer this question with his own life, only with 'responsible' to answer life. Being able to 'take charge' is therefore the most important essence of human existence." British educator Victor Frank's analysis of "responsibility" is appropriate for teachers.
Liu, who has been in charge of education since graduation, realized that she "spends more energy on students than on herself" when transitioning from student to teacher.
Mathematics is a lot of children on the way to learn the "stumbling block", poor logic ability, understanding is not in place, the foundation is not solid, can not do... The reasons for poor math performance are different for each child Liu has taught. In order to help students improve their abilities in a short period of time, she will customize learning plans for students based on the two-way combination of classroom performance and personal assessment reports.
In Liu's opinion, a good online teacher is both professional and responsible. Professional help children to lay a solid foundation, with responsibility to accompany children grow up. Mr. Liu remembered that he once taught a boy with a middle score in math. There was little interaction and no feedback in class, and his progress was very slow.
At the beginning, Liu was more anxious than the students and always tried to explain as many knowledge points to the children, but with little success. Later, she realized that this excessive cultivation is not helpful and can cause children's rebellious psychology. She immediately changed her teaching method. The pace of class slowed down, courseware content implanted more interesting cases, knowledge points pointed to his daily mistakes, slowly began to draw parallels and follow up other exercises.
After three or four lessons, this student achieved remarkable results. He could not only grasp the score of basic questions in daily exams, but also dared to try some difficult questions, and even took the initiative to ask questions after class. "Seeing students get good grades makes me happier than getting high grades myself!"
A summer song singles open an introverted heart
"The child is introverted, must be corrected?" This is an educational topic that many parents often discuss with Mr. Liu. Liu never thought introversion was a serious problem until she met her student Chen Ting (not her real name).
When Chen Ting's mother carefully asked, "the child is very introverted, Mr. Liu, you must ask her more questions in class." Liu teacher in mind, every class always take the initiative to communicate with Chen Ting: the speed of the teacher's lecture you can keep up? Do you need the teacher to adjust? Can you understand this knowledge? But each time, Chen Ting would be silent for a long time.
The unresponsive conversation went on for so long that Liu described it as "frustration." Because students in online courses are not willing to interact with each other, any guidance from the teacher will be weak. "In such a situation, teachers can only adjust their own mentality, keep calm, stable and patient." The situation lasted for the better part of a month before finally turning a corner.
Before a class, Liu and Chen Ting have entered the "classroom" long in advance, in order to liven up the atmosphere, Liu proposed to play a song to listen to, "you want to listen to what song? The teacher will play it for you." She hesitated to say the name of a pop song, that song, I and her communication breakthrough. After class, Mr. Liu searched for similar songs and compiled them into playlists and shared them with students. "We shared playlists almost all summer long."
In Liu's view, students' initiative is important, but there is an even more important step that is often overlooked before that -- trust. "I think as adults, we all need to consider our relationships and positions when we interact with others, let alone insecure children."
In the process of sharing the playlist with the student, Liu gained her trust. Later in the class, they agreed to arrive 10 minutes early. During the 10 minutes, Liu guided Chen Ting to read the math questions aloud to slowly improve her "timid" problem. "The whole page echoed with the sound of the two of us reading math problems."
Slowly Chen Ting began to answer Liu teacher's questions loudly, began to take the initiative to ask Liu teacher does not understand the knowledge point, "at that moment, I know that the little seed, it will bloom."
An educational book Bridges communication with parents
Education is an important task for parents, teachers and the society to work together. As an online teacher, on the one hand, we should build the trust between ourselves and students, on the other hand, we should help parents rebuild the trust between themselves and their children. In teaching, Teacher Liu is good at analyzing the deep reasons from the appearance of students' learning, so as to solve the problem "at the root".
In the communication with Chen Ting and Chen Ting's parents, Teacher Liu found that the child's parents were aggressive and anxious about the child's grades, but did not have a correct judgment on the cause. In fact, in Liu's opinion, the child's Chinese and English scores are good, but the math always wander around the edge of passing, her parents put it simply because she is not willing to answer questions.
How far a person can go lies in his ability to correct mistakes. Education of children is the same, find the direction, method is not appropriate, must have the ability to correct mistakes. After class, Ms. Liu had a lot of communication with Chen Ting's mother, hoping that she would not be too obsessed with her child's personality. At her own expense, she bought the educational book "Introvert's Advantage" as a gift to her mother, hoping that her child's parents could take the initiative to find out the advantages of her child.
As an important part of children's education, the role of teachers is not only to explain knowledge, but more importantly to inspire wisdom and soul, which also puts forward high requirements on the comprehensive quality of teachers, especially the online institutions that emphasize personalized teaching. In addition to excellent professional ability, the corresponding qualification, professional background, the teacher's responsibility, patience, expression ability, communication ability, cooperation spirit, can understand the psychology of primary and middle school students, mobilize students' enthusiasm for learning and so on have strict requirements.
Zhang Yi, founder of Palm Education, once said, "Excellent people transfer learning momentum. More important is elite companionship, which helps students complement the 'personalization' that is not possible in school." It is by adhering to this philosophy that countless responsible teachers like Liu have stepped onto the "stage" of online teaching, and won the recognition of students and parents.
With the improvement of parents' awareness of education, under the general trend of whole-person education, the demand for personalized tutoring also increases. In order to meet the diversified teaching needs of more users, in addition to recruiting excellent teachers at the supply end, the master also cultivates online teachers with outstanding comprehensive ability through improving the training management system to build a strong teaching team.
Every seed is worth waiting for, as long as it finds its suitable soil. Palm education to cultivate education feelings, constantly polish the quality of teachers and products, tamp the foundation of teaching, comprehensive respect to guide children's personality development, guard every flower.
