Coaching new teachers
Coaching new teachers at the start of a summer school program -
so much to impart, so little time...
Perhaps it is simple:
first, get to know the children - build a good relationship with each of them;
second, run with what they love and work the academics into this...you can teach anything and everything when you teach through their interests;
third, laugh and have fun as you teach.
All will be well with this approach.
