Not sure how to help your child? Do you have a student that needs extra support? Here are some ideas that might help for the first steps towards changing the way in which a child learns and the way in which an educator delivers communication.
Communicating in a learning environment:
• Break your lesson down into small steps.
• Ensure that written text is broken down into short digestible formats and avoid the typical black text on white background. Opt for a different colour - pale colours such as grey, pink or yellow work better as a background.
• Use simple spoken language. Don't offer too much dialogue when asking questions and keep to a minimum if offering information - a little like spoken bullet points.
• Teach content that is based on everyday experiences that the pupils will understand - they'll find a relatable experience and use that as a foundation for their work.
• Make sure that key concepts and vocabulary are reused - repetition helps familiarity.
• Encourage your students to present their information in a variety of ways.
• Remember to recognise and emphasise effort and success by giving rewards and plenty of praise.
The above is critical in ensuring that students have a solid foundation in their learning environment. This means students understand their educator because they always communicate clearly. From a teachers perspective, this can take time to practise, but with some conscious effort, you can change your language and verbal and non verbal communication skills.
