“More important than the curriculum is
the question of the methods of teaching and the spirit in which the teaching is
given.” - Bertrand Russell
In every classroom, educators often
find three levels of students – below average, average, and above average
students in terms of their levels of intelligence and understanding the essence.
The role of educators must be to ensure that the knowledge reach out to all
levels of students equally. It is easier said than done. Therefore, educators
must deliver the key ideas and insights three times in the classroom so that
all levels of students can understand the essence effectively. When educators
tell the key concepts first time, the above average students understand the
message. When they tell second time, the
average students understand the message.
When they tell third time, the below average students understand the
message.
The role of educators is to elevate
below average students as average students, average students as above average
students, and above average students as extraordinary students. Precisely,
educators must help successful students become even more successful to provide
a meaning to their profession and make a qualitative difference in the lives of
students.
“There are two kinds of teachers: the
kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can't move, and the kind
that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.” ― Robert
Frost
