The mindset I need in teaching my students during the pandemic.

In this presentation you will learn about how to effectively teach students in the
pandemic times?
Teachers have faced a turbulent year, forced to consider the ways on how to reach students
and keep them educated in this times.
Teachers play a key role in physical safety and mental health during the pandemic. Teachers’
ensure that learners are supported with community measures for keeping them safe from
getting and spreading the virus. Given the situation, educators all around the globe were forced
to re-think on how to other methods of teaching in meaningful ways that help the community
safe, healthy and engaged. So we’re going to find out how educators can effectively deal with
education in the pandemic.

Here now I am going to show a list of techniques and strategies to make you and your students
engaged and motivated in the teaching and learning in times of pandemic.

In introducing these tips I want you to know what the right mindset for this kind of
circumstances are.

Expect trial… and plenty of error


Start by being reasonable with yourself. It is, in fact, impossible to shift to distance
learning overnight without lots of trial and error. Expect it, plan for it, and do your best to make
peace with it.

Acknowledge The Situations

Reset your baseline. We're all operating in the shadow of a global pandemic, and it is
disorienting and limiting. What we might expect for a student is different now than before.

Reduce the workload (for yourself and your students)

If your district allows it, you should plan to do less. Students won’t be able to work as
productively as normal. Consider that parents are trying also to work from home and siblings are also
contesting for computer and Wi-Fi time.

No person is an island
Humans are social animals. Working from home, or worse, from quarantine, is isolating and
often depressing for both teachers and students.

Make a concerted effort to speak to other colleagues and trusted professionals to provide
emotional and psychological context to your work. Teaching at this moment is extraordinarily hard, and
you’ll need the virtual company of people who are experiencing what you are. Don’t forget to “reach out
to students as often as you can,” to show your availability.

(and lastly)

MIND THE GAP

Your work will be hard, but students are facing more severe challenges. Students with no
internet or no computer will need support, as will those with learning differences or other
circumstances that make distance learning especially difficult. Supporting these students was on almost
everyone’s mind.

The educator’s mindset he/she equipped with are the crucial factor in determining whether
his/her teaching method will succeed so it is better to consciously check your mindset if are in favour of
your students’ learning, safety and happiness.
