Have you ever hired a student to teach a lesson?
I have!
Once my students have mastered a skill and feel that they know it well enough to teach it, I hire them to take over. It is priceless!
They always feel 6 feet tall when they are standing at the white board, marker in hand, trying hard to find the right words to say.
While they are teaching, I sit in their seat, which I love. And my students love. You get a whole new perspective of your classroom and your students.
Here is one of my cuties teaching a lesson on future tense verbs.
And this handsome boy is teaching the class about "Super E!"
The next time your voice needs a rest, hire a student to be the teacher!
Then, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

LOVE THIS!!! The best way to show complete concept acquisition is if you can teach it! PERFECT POST!
ReplyDeleteWhen I have students do this, I let them call me by my first name and I call them Mr. / Miss ____ based on their last name. I raise my hand to ask questions for clarification sometimes, and they think it's so funny to hear their teacher asking a kid for help (even though I'm usually doing it for the benefit of the kids!) Love the photos!

This is one of the funnest things to do. It is also a great way to work up their self-esteem, confidence and give them a chance to share their knowledge with the class. :)
