class.
• Do not use a voice level that is always either too loud or too soft.
• Do not use the same teaching strategy or combination of strategies day after
day.
• Do not wait to collect and returning students papers before assigning them
something else to do.
• Do not interrupt students while they are on task.
• Try to get the most from student responses. Do not settle for less when you can
get more from them.
• Avoid interact with only a “chosen few” students. Rather spread interactions
around to all students.
• Intervene quickly in cases of inappropriate student behavior.
• Be interested in the process of student thinking and not final answers only.
• You need not try to talk over student noise. Try some other technique.
• Do not take too much time to give verbal directions for an activity. Be precise.
• Check yourself from being anxious and nervous. Students easily get to know
this and become nervous too.
