Hi @cherylsonty. You're welcome. And thanks for joining round #2. Yes you can join over and over again as long as you're below 55 Rep. Looking forward to read your story. ☺️
Alright there, let me share this here to also encourage my fellow teachers.
As a student teacher back then in school during my trainings, one of the things i learnt to do in order to motivate students to learn was by reinforcement.
Now there are different ways to reinforce students, is a way of rewarding them for a task achieved or an attitude you observe in someone and you want to encourage the person so others could learn from him.
My own way of reinforcing them is by telling them that i will sponsor the person that gets the right answer for lunch that day or it's cash equivalence.
For example during my last class i did a calculation on the board and gave them another question for them to solve, i told them that the first person will get five hundred naira from me, and everyone got serious in order to get the answer.
A lot of them got it right but only one person was the fastest so i gave him the money.
The secret behind this principle is that it makes them pay attention in class and try to understand the lesson as they may never know the day i will place my reward.
Thanks alot @meetmysuperego for an opportunity to share this!
