Building Upon Students’ Prior Knowledge and Skills

Before going to college, there is a huge period (including 14 years of formal education) that shapes the minds of the students. Not only lessons from the syllabus but they are also inspired a great deal by the personal stories and experiences. The more extensive your knowledge is, the more likely it is for you to have an impeccable academic record. Similarly, having a knowledge gap will automatically hinder the process of growth. Naturally, educators have a major role to play in this.

That is why the teachers from top schools in Greater Noida have always strived to offer the best experiences to the students so that they can draw inspiration from those later in life.

Here's what one can do as a mentor to see that the students have the most fruitful experiences-

  1. Take the Pressure Off for a While

While some students work excellently under pressure, it is not positive reinforcement for the long term. That is why it is important to take the pressure off their minds for the time being. Start with conducting fun activities which are also helpful for evaluating their process. Keep grades away for a while. The purpose of this is to assist the skills of the students so that those can be channelized in the right direction. While the aim remains static, to gauge the prior knowledge of the students, the educator's observation powers will certainly be put to test here.

  1. Different Assessment Strategies for Monitoring

For teachers, it is of primary importance that they keep a track of the student's progress in the classroom. However, every student cannot excel in every form of assessment. The best thing to do is to conduct different types of assessments and take their output into account. For example, if a student is excelling in written tests, someone else will shine in group activities. The vital thing to do is to find out the strength as well as the weakness of the students and to nourish them adequately. Make sure to maintain a certain regularity in case of conducting assessments. This will help them brush their skills and keep up with everything that is being taught. That being said, there shouldn't be any stagnancy. Whether it is the form of assessment or a certain topic on which the assessment is conducted, try different approaches every time so that the interest of the students never fades away.
