    Keep children intrinsically motivated by modeling enthusiasm for learning. Reinforce thinking processes over praise and have children regularly share their new knowledge to help solidify concepts. Remember that children need to be active - incorporate movement breaks throughout the day. Be sensitive to individual children's needs, as learning is difficult when a child is tired, hungry, upset or overwhelmed. Maintain a welcoming classroom where children feel heard and valued.

    BEST TEACHING METHODS

    Keep motivation intrinsic


    Young children are generally motivated to learn about
    everything. Unless they have been made fun of regularly, when
    investigating or presenting their knowledge, they usually have a
    strong desire to find out and share information.

    One of the best teaching methods is to motivate children by


    modeling enthusiasm and curiosity. Motivation comes from
    within (intrinsic) and from outside (extrinsic). Making too much
    fuss of any one child can result in a competitive attitude in the
    class. Model curiosity and asking questions about the topics
    studied.

    Reinforce thinking processes rather than praising the


    child. Try, “That is an interesting way that you sorted your
    blocks. Tell me what you were thinking.” Then, “Sarah sorted
    her blocks in a different way. Both ways of sorting are
    interesting.”
    Have children describe or share their
    new knowledge regularly
    When children have an opportunity to communicate their new
    knowledge to patient adults it helps solidify concepts. It often
    takes children time to find the correct words to explain their
    thinking.

     Supply the students with descriptive words as they are


    playing or working, e.g. “Notice how dull those rocks are,
    the other ones are shiny”. This extends their vocabulary
    and increases their ability to share new discoveries.

    Remember that children  need  to be


    active
    If kindergarten students have been sitting still too long, they
    will quickly let you know when it’s time to move.

     Well-planned, interesting learning plans fail if the children


    need a break.

    o Go for walks around the school, jump up and down,
    act out a story, do anything that gets the blood
    pumping around. It results in good circulation and
    more alert studentsScheduling lots of movement
    breaks throughout the day is an invaluable best
    teaching practice. 
    Be Sensitive to Children’s Needs
    One thing I learned early in my teaching career is that learning
    doesn’t happen if a child is over tired, hungry, upset, scared or
    worried. Learning to be flexible and understanding with young
    children is a skill that will serve you well in your educational
    career. At times, children need to get away from everyone and

    be left alone.

    A small space, such as under your desk, works well for some


    students who are too overwhelmed by home or other
    circumstances, to cope with their peers or their teacher.

    If a student is hungry, it’s easier to let her eat part of her lunch
    early or to provide a snack, than to try to force the child to
    concentrate on a task until the scheduled eating time.

    Inexperienced teachers sometimes misinterpret a child’s


    unwillingness to participate as stubbornness or bad
    behavior. It’s good to remember…

     That children often do not have the vocabulary to express


    themselves.
     To use reflective listening to help children
    understand what is upsetting them.
     That sometimes children work well in groups and this
    helps them learn to share and develop ideas and at other
    times they need to be alone with ample time to figure
    things out.
     To relax and have fun with your students!
    Summary
    Maintain a classroom atmosphere of warmth and
    acceptance.For some kindergarten children, your classroom will
    be one of the few places where their opinions and ideas have
    been heard and valued.
