An editor’s view of Chuck Allen’s remarks at the MCATA annual meeting
WHAT ARE CHILDREN LIKE?
Teachers need to maintain their enthusiasm to create a motivating atmosphere.
Teachers create the atmosphere to motivate or “turn-off” the pupils.
Teachers know what needs to be done Do we have the ability, wisdom, knowledge, and patience to do it? Does anyone have the talents and gifts to be ideal in all these areas? Use interesting, novel ideas to create activities that will help make basic facts fun to learn. Many ideas were presented at the opening session to show that there are interesting activities without spending money for sophisticated equipment.
