Effective teaching techniques.

This is something we all do sometimes in our lives - try to teach someone else something. this is also a crux of our conversations - asking questions of the other, and learning about what they have to say. this forms the core of communication, as we speak to relay our thoughts, and thus are 'always teaching' through trying to get others to see things our way. even gossip is about rumors, and rumors are about theories we wish to teach, yes?

So, how do we teach effectively? the firs thing i did while conversing with non first language english speakers was to use lots of small words replacing the big words we use to impress each other, and bring others to think they are on our level. for example, a child writing a story for recognition and something they want to do, would call their story "a piece" rather than an "essay," yes? this is because it is harder to understand these words, making you feel more important and trying to impress 'your teacher' or whatever.

Small words should always be used. this lets one flow, as, the reading of a big word makes for a longer period of hesitation between words, breaking the 'flow' of the sentence. this is something i tend to always do, as i like to be understood by n.f.l. english speakers and children too.

Then, you need to speak to them on either a universal level, or a level familiar to them. for example, you could speak about how cows need grass on a universal level, and then how much grass each species eats on a personal level, yes? this would be better to get as detailed as you can without confusing your audience, of course.

~ So far, small words, familiarity.

Making new techniques is something students often do for their projects. this is like progress being developed in their fields, and is essential to see the world's academic centers to keep moving forwards.

I find the best way to try to make these new ideas manifest is to merely think of your 'ideal world.' would your ideal world, seventy years ago, included cell phones? there were no cell phones until someone conceptualized of them, yes?

To 'guide your thoughts' you need to first of all get a lit candle near you. this will send energy to your body, speeding up the blood flow, if you keep it on your right hand side, to your right hemisphere of your brain, the motherboards and buses, yes? then, the warmth and light will keep you alert and functioning well too.

Then, you could also listen to music with a repetitive beat. instead of getting stuck in a rut, you will start to sing the song while you write, and, that will leave you with advanced pattern finding while i suppose on the down side if it is music you do not like then you may repeat certain things over and over. but, this is good because everything out there can be understood, and, with music, your mind will, if it is something like 'goa trance,' find patterns emerge in the things you write or read, helping you study as those cassettes for ocean sounds make you learn quicker, it is proven. instead of thinking of this as brain washing yourself, you are, if you are doing one of these 'projects,' thinking in patterns, and i believe the whole world is made of patterns.

Maybe you should also release stored old energy within you? this i find when i have sex i find this much easier, as, the stored energy within you leaves through your heightened enjoyment, yes? other stress relievers are hot spices and taking a hot shower, of course, among other things.

Another way often used to teach students is to summarize the notes into smaller things where they focus on the key points of each entry in the textbooks. of course, if they were to summarize them into points, then elaborate on them with their own methods, they could earn points instead of writing tests, yes?

So, instead of having them summarize each other's work, which is what often happens, they could simply write a page's worth of points, with no more points to write on than say the number instructed, and then write about them.

This is because in a survey i read about, you retain about ninety percent of what you teach, while only remember about fifteen percent of what you read, of course. this new teaching method will replace tests, as the teacher can evaluate the students after classes before the next class, having ten minutes or so to help them with the areas that came through less than adequate, and, then moving onto the next summary during class time for the teacher to evaluate each night. this would come to about forty five pages to read per class, with six classes a day, would come to five hundred pages to read each night, or, over weekends.

Maybe the week could be spread out? the teacher could teach for two days, they could summarize and prepare their 'thesis' for each friday, and over the weekend the teachers could mark the tests.

I predict that there will be a heck of a lot more people passing, and, then they will actually understand the subject, even the rebel children, if they do not get home work.

Maybe it would be a good idea to mix luxuries or direct money with the students, to show them the value of a rand or dollar? this would show them, if they slack off, they will miss out on 'bonuses,' yes?

What i mean is that each student could help the teacher with tasks set forth by the community, maybe as a social worker or such? lawyers could send paper work to the teachers that are competent, and they could check to 'see if it works.' maybe the students could brain storm for the companies out there, like they do in college, where they come up with their own ideas and products? this is often ignored by students that want to go out with their friends, but, if the students were to earn their own money, i am sure they would participate, especially if it is in school time?

So, for high school, they should source certain surveys at least, or source whole projects? if the school does well, they get paid, and i am sure that successful schools will succeed. if on the other hand a particularly disruptive group of students gets to do their own thing, they will waste their chance and not get paid, unless the parents know about it, yes? if a student could pay for their own treats or going out money, i am sure they will motivate them, of course.

But, how will this work? if the students check work from legal, political, economic, technical and other types of business, they will need to know what is going on, yes? this could be cleared by having a term to see if they understand, reading and elaborating on points of case study, and, in the second term, they could begin working for the teacher that is working for the school that is sourced by the state or private sector businesses.

The students should be encouraged to 'do more.' this could come down to a project a month for the teacher or school, where they earn bonus points. the research level at college level is quite high, with grants being granted now and again, but, if they were to get into projects and stuff like that at high school level, then we could get exposure and maybe make a drive for a patent, which means a lot of money, yes?

Financial incentives for studies must be the way to do it. maybe some free time too? say if they were to hand in a bonus project, they could call a day they like off where they get to sit at home or go to a place of their choice in the school, where they could watch the girls play basket ball or something, as there is almost always a class of that going on.

So, bonus projects could be organized after hours by them, for their own interest. this will be justified by having them learn more about the subject or the working world around them, and, then they could pass their grade before the end of the year, of course - something i am sure they would love, yes? incentives like these should be applied to all classes in high school, where they get taught how to succeed in their subjects and life too.
