A Gift Every Teacher Should Give...

How to Put More Pizzazz Into Your Teaching...  By Mike Moore

A teacher with pizzazz has a fundamental respect for the opinions of other people. And when that comes across, your students warm up to you, and can be free and comfortable to disagree. Remember no one has a monopoly on wisdom and insight.

 

We’ve got to be able to allow our students to challenge us without

becoming upset or angry or threatened. We're not there to teach students what to think but how to think and how to think involves being bold enough to challenge and disagree.

So a teacher with pizzazz is bold enough to stand up and express their opinions but express them in a way that is not going to deny the authenticity and the validity of the opinions of others.

Your opinions will add to the debate on any topic. I have been in the classrooms of teachers who were terrific until somebody stood up and challenged them. As soon as the challenge was issued they became defensive, venomous ,reactionary and used the power of their platform to shoot down the “offending” member of the class.

 

We should always be confident enough in our opinions and our own background and experience that we don't have to shoot down the opinions and ideas of others when they happen to disagree with ours. A pizzazzed teacher has this ability in my opinion.

Ten Ways to Become a Magnetic Storyteller By Mike Moore

People love to be told stories but are easily turned off when they are told poorly.

Here are ten effective tips to make sure your stories are told well and captivate

your listeners.

1. Be on the lookout for stories throughout your day. Stories are everywhere so

carry a notepad with you and jot the storyline down in point form. Flesh it out

later.

2. Know the story you are going to tell.

3. Keep it short, crisp and flowing.

4. Don’t be afraid to make it your own.

5. Tell the story don’t read it. Anyone can read a story not everyone can tell a

story well.

6. Use your voice for dramatic effect.

7. Never let a story drag on and on.

8. Don’t get bogged down with detail.

9. Insert stories into general conversation whenever you get the chance.

I heard the other day...

I read in the paper recently about...

I saw a man/woman in the coffee shop and....

These are just a few of the many ways to insert your story into conversation.

10. Never explain your story to your listeners. Let the story speak for itself.
