X Things I Learned From Teaching Young Children
#3. Learning Material
A quick review… it is about my teaching experience at a company where I was a teacher to support children’s learning after school.
X Things I learned From Teaching Young Children is a series of articles, starting from 1. Age, 2. Character, and this time, it’s about the learning materials.
3. Learning Materials
1: textbooks
If textbooks were already chosen, all I needed was to just use those. Some students were assigned to have an extra exercise book. That could be either more challenging or less challenging.
Because I was working for this company, I didn’t have to pick any learning materials by myself. Textbooks and exercise books vary depending on the students I had to teach. So I had to do some preparation every time, looking through them to estimate how much time I would spend time on explaining based on an assumption of how much time students would spend on it or have a good understanding of it.
Assumptions based on other students and the student’s previous learning experience had given me a good estimation of spending less time on, and where I had put more effort into explaining them such as providing examples.
