Teaching is that profession where the success of the teachers of the teacher depends on the ability of the students but there have been such teachers who have made even the worst of students the best of learners.

Teaching Math to Young Children

******************** I think it is important for children and their teachers to accept and believe in the following three teaching/learning principles: 1) When the student tells the parent or teacher what s/he doesn't understand or cannot do, s/he should ALSO TELL what s/he tried to do and why. S/he should tell what s/he understands about the problem and how s/he tried to go about solving it, and why s/he tried that. S/he should tell as specifically as s/he can where s/he thinks s/he is getting stuck. Obviously this will be more difficult for young children to verbalize, but they should have the opportunity and the coaxing to try to communicate in some way how they are thinking and seeing a concept or idea. It is important for parents and teachers to try to help children explain their own ideas and reasoning as much as possible. 2) It is important for the parent or teacher to (try to) understand where the child is going wrong and how the child got there, so that the teacher can correct misconceptions and so that he or she can know what sort of answer might serve the student best. 3) When a parent or teacher believes a child has understood an idea or concept, the parent or teacher should present the child with a problem that requires a slight modification of it, in order to see whether the child recognizes something new needs to be done and can see how to take it into account. If a child can do this, that presents better evidence the child does understand what s/he been doing and has not just hit on a pattern that works for particular situations or has not just learned by rote how to do what you were working with them on previously. While teachers should be looking for any indication a student does not understand something, it is also important that the student should say if s/he does not understand a parent or teacher's explanation or answer or some part of it. There may be more the parent/teacher needs to say, or there may be some other way they need to say it so that the student can see it. "Seeing" someone else's explanation about something, particularly in math, is not always easy; and it does not mean a student cannot learn or come to understand a principle or relationship, or that a student is not smart, just because s/he doesn't see it the same way the teacher sees it, or the way the teacher says it the first time they give what they THINK is an adequate explanation. The teacher will just have to try a different approach to help, or will just have to explain more about his/her initial approach. But the student needs to let the teacher know, because otherwise the teacher may not realize s/he doesn't understand, and may keep on going in a way that gets the student really lost.

Amazon.com: Teaching English Abroad: Teach Your Way Around the World! (Teaching English Abroad, 5th ed): Distributed title: Books

This review is from: Teaching English Abroad: Talk Your Way Around the World! (4th ed) (Paperback) I read this book on the recommendation of a friend who lived abroad. Unfortunately, it did not apply in most cases to the 20 countries in which I traveled and tried to find work, not only because I'm American and this book is aimed at UK natives, but because of the brevity of info offered. Americans and Canadians have a more difficult time finding work simply because of EU citizenship requirements, though it is also true that English taught with an American accent is more desirable. The latter, however, does not mean Americans will be better paid or even employed. Many times, schools fill positions with natives who studied English abroad, even if their command of the language is quite poor. British natives are often preferred over Canadians or Americans simply because they have no work or residence permit issues if you're in the EU. Americans, at best, can find tutoring jobs through placing an ad in local newspapers (and it helps to write the ad in the local language to attract students) and will not be paid as well... in fact, half the rate in many cases of a native speaking substandard English. In the majority of cases, some previous teaching experience, credentials and certificates are required in order to be considered for a position.
