Tips for teaching Teens

Worgan M. describes some aspects of the teacher- student relationship that have worked for her and hergroups.

1. The First Day: The first few days are crucial to the way the course will run. This is the time when the students will make unconscious decisions about what kind of teacher you are and it is essential to let them know that, while you may be relaxed and friendly, you will not accept any nonsense.

Make sure they are conscious of the amount of work they will be doing both
in and out of class if they want to reach their objectives (pass a course or an exam, learn English, etc.) Most teenagers expect to have to put in a bit of effort, and this usually motivates them. It is really important that they feel motivated.

2. Being strict: Research has shown that firm but fair teachers are preferred by this age group. Many times teachers are tempted to treat a group of sixteen year olds as adults, but the fact is that  emotionally they are not. If you talk to them as if they were your friends or peers, they will often use this as an excuse not to study or do as you ask.

At the end of the day, most teenagers
don’t have the maturity to choose learning over fun and games and it will be much more difficult to get them to
put in the required effort. However, this doesn’t mean that teachers have to be strict all the time!

Students should be rewarded when they work hard and rewards, such as games and other fun activities, can be a great
incentive to get the task done. Transmit the idea that you are in control of the class, this is something teenagers consider as a qualification of a good.teacher.

3. Short-Term goals: For the teacher, the school year may fly by, but for the average fifteen-year-old, though, a year can be a very long time. Set them regular,
achievable goals in order to keep motivation as high as possible, and discuss and negotiate these goals with your students keeping them involved.

4. Motivation: Worgan M. mentions that one of the questions teachers of teenagers constantly ask is “How can I motivate them? They aren’t interested in
anything!” They usually don’t like the books and the topics in them. If you ask teenagers what topics they would like to cover in class they, usually, don’t know or
will come up with just a few.

Even if you bring in materials about their interests they will most probably show very little enthusiasm. The problem is not the actual topic of the lesson, but the type of activities involved.

I have used the following activities with
teenagers and they have worked well. Imagine you have a text about someone who found a bottle on the seashore. In the bottle was a message which was written many years ago.

Instead of just asking your students to read, tell them the story from the writer’s point of view from the beginning, but stopping before the end.

Now ask what happened next, encouraging all kinds of funny answers and, then, get them reading! The gist of it is to find fun ways to exploit the materials they already have in their course books.

5. Humour: A good laugh now and again can motivate teenagers to want to come to class. Make up stories or ask them to help you solve a problem or to introduce a grammar point that they actually know. My favorite problem-solving activity used to be a story which was partially true.

I would tell my students that I had
received a horrible birthday present (an orange blouse for example) from my husband and I didn’t know what to do with it, without hurting his feelings. The students would come up with all sorts of solutions, have fun and, actually, practice their English.

This will give you and the students an opportunity to relax. They will be much happier about working when they notice the teacher is prepared to tell a story or
joke. As a follow-up activity you can ask them to share similar problems they have or have had and their peers should suggest solutions.

Teenagers will be eager to
participate (as long as it is done in English) and our teaching objective will have been reached (2 nd Conditional: if I were you, I would…).

Effective Teaching Methods for Teenagers
Louanne Piccolo states in her article Teaching Teenagers: How to Motivate and Interest

Them, that t eenagers look for meaning and significance in relation to their own lives in what they are taught. An intelligent teacher will use this knowledge to personalize their lessons and relate this to what is going on in the lives of the students at the moment.

Teenagers want to know about now, and not about what happened a hundred years ago! Keeping up- to-date with technology and the topics that may interest teenagers may take a lot of effort on behalf of the teacher, but it is of utmost importance to getting and holding their attention.

Most teenagers like to talk about themselves, what they think, what they don't like and are quite emotional; so, teachers must be creative and organize activities like sharing journal entries or writing articles for a magazine students have created themselves.

This allows students to express themselves freely and talk about a topic they are interested in: their own ideas. Piccolo further explains that, prior to learning, teenagers need to know why they are doing something, how it can help them and how it relates to their lives.

Although everyone prefers interesting classes, this is not always possible. Teenagers are aware of this and even though they are, generally, in favor of fun they know that good learning takes an effort.

Six Resources a Teacher Should Use When Teaching Teenagers

Piccolo suggests six resources which help put teaching methods into use, through appropriate and adapted
activities.

Here are some particularly useful resources when teaching teenagers:
Not quite-yet-adults and not-still children is a difficult thing to be. The average teenager is an inquisitive contrast of innocence and worldliness and has a thirst for knowledge that is endless, in spite of the fact that
their interests, emotions and frustrations vary enormously.

A teacher who understands the characteristics of a teenage learner, effective teaching methods and the resources to put those methods into
practice, is a teacher who will motivate and challenge a teenage class to learn with interest.

HANDLING DAMAGED HAIR

Is your hair somewhat damaged or totally trashed? And, what can you do when it‘s true that you can’t mend split ends? Here’s the latest on hair that’s hurting, along the lines of prevent, correct and protect.

WHAT CAUSES HAIR DAMAGE?

one of the leading causes of hair damage is tight hairstyles and tight ponytails . But really,  chemicals contribute more.

Most common causes of hair damage are:

1. Relaxing, Straightening and Texturizing/Perming

Only re touch your roots, and correct dryness with leave-in conditioner's and avoid salt water .

 Once hair has been chemically straightened (or texturized to either create or loosen curl), use moisturising products daily, deep-condition weekly and dial down the heat when styling.

2. Bleaching and Colouring

Repeated applications are what usually create trouble,the protective cuticle gets opened with every application to allow the product into the cortex. The hair has no ability to close the cuticle back down on its own or repair itself.”

 Moisturizers, keratin protein and amino acids will help—if they penetrate to the cortex, they seal the cuticle. 
 To avoid damage when home-coloring, apply the colour to the new growth only. 

Color Flash: Never use bleach-based lighteners on relaxed hair—it will break!

Teaching Children with Autism 2

Continued from here

Step 6: Manage Behavioral Challenges

For students with autism, problem behaviors may be triggered for a variety of reasons. Such behaviors may include temper tantrums, running about the room, loud vocalizations, self-injurious activities, or other disruptive or distracting behaviors.

Because children with autism
often have difficulties communicating in socially acceptable ways, they may act out when they are confused or fearful about something.

Your first challenge is to decipher the cause, or function, of a particular behavior. Look for patterns in these behaviors such as when they do, or do not, consistently occur. Communicating with families and other team members, and observing the behavior in the context in which it occurs, will be an essential part of learning the function of a specific behavior.

It’s important to use consistent, positive behavioral reinforcement techniques to promote pro-social behaviors for children with autism. This process involves
providing reasonable alternatives to undesirable behaviors.

Teachers may choose to ignore other negative behaviors or give predetermined consequences. The key is to be consistent with how you react to the behaviors over time, and to use as many positive strategies as possible to promote more desirable behaviors.

As you follow these steps and learn more about children with autism, you will become a mentor to other educators when they face similar challenges for the first time. Your curiosity will fuel your education about autism, and your communication skills will help you create a meaningful alliance with parents.

Most of all, you will be able to effectively collaborate with a team that will support a child with autism throughout the
course of the school year. Your patience, kindness, and professionalism will make a difference in the lives of all
your students.

11 Myths of Autism

People with autism don’t want friends. If someone in your class has autism, she probably struggles with social skills, which may make it difficult to interact with peers.

1. She might seem shy or unfriendly, but that’s just because she is unable communicate her desire for relationships the same way you do.

2. People with autism can’t feel or express any emotion— happy or sad. Autism doesn’t make an individual unable to feel the emotions you feel, it just makes the person communicate emotions (and perceive your expressions) in different ways.

3. People with autism can’t understand the emotions of others. Autism often affects an individual’s ability to understand unspoken interpersonal communication, so someone with autism might not detect sadness based solely on one’s body language or sarcasm in one’s tone of voice.

But, when emotions are communicated more directly, people with autism are much more likely to feel empathy and compassion for others.

4. People with autism are intellectually disabled. Often times, autism brings with it just as many exceptional abilities as limitations. Many people with autism have normal to high IQs and some may excel at math, music or another pursuit.

5. People with autism are just like Dustin Hoffman’s character in Rain Man. Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning its characteristics vary significantly from
person to person. Knowing one person with autism means just that—knowing one person with autism.

His or her capabilities and limitations are no indication of the capabilities and limitations of another person with autism.

6. People who display qualities that may be typical of a person with autism are just odd and will grow out of it. Autism stems from biological conditions that affect brain development and, for many individuals, is a life long condition.

7. People with autism will have autism forever. Recent research has shown that children with autism can make enough improvement after intensive early intervention to “test out” of the autism diagnosis. This is more evidence for the importance of addressing autism when the first signs appear.

8. Autism is just a brain disorder. Research has shown that many people with autism also have gastro- intestinal disorders, food sensitivities, and many allergies.

9. Autism is caused by bad parenting. In the 1950s, a theory called the “refrigerator mother hypothesis” arose suggesting that autism was caused by mothers who lacked emotional warmth. This has long been disproved.

10. The prevalence of autism has been steadily increasing for the last 40 years. The rate of autism has increased by 600% in the last 20 years. In 1975, an estimated 1 in 1,500 had autism. In 2009, an estimated 1 in 110 had an autism spectrum disorder.

11. Therapies for people with autism are covered by insurance. Most insurance companies exclude autism from the coverage plan and only half of the 50 states currently require coverage for treatments of autism
spectrum disorders.

Know more about Autistic Children

Wikipedia says ; Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction , verbal and non-verbal communication , and restricted and repetitive behavior.

Parents usually notice signs in the first two years of their child's life.  The signs typically develop gradually, but some children with autism will reach their developmental milestones at a normal pace and then regress.

Understanding the underlying reasons for behaviour is
very important in helping professionals to devise
strategies to help a child on the autism spectrum.
Without at least a background knowledge of the
challenges that having autism can create, a child’s
behaviour can be misinterpreted and their needs will not
be met in the most appropriate way. A teacher or early
years practitioner will therefore need a knowledge of
autism and how to structure situations to promote
learning as well as observational skills and the capacity
to motivate and involve.
Other people’s opinions may have little or no influence
on the behaviour of children on the autism spectrum
and the child may say and do exactly as they want.
Adults who do not know the child or know about autism
may misunderstand the child’s behaviour and view it as
naughty, difficult or lazy when in fact the child did not
understand the situation or task, or did not read the
adult’s intentions or mood correctly.
Typical behaviour
The kind of behaviours professionals look for in
diagnosing autism are:
Delay or absence of spoken language including loss of
early acquired language
Unusual uses of language
Difficulties in playing with other children
Inappropriate eye contact with others
Unusual play activities and interests and failure to share
in the interests or play of others
Communicating wants by taking an adult’s hand and
leading to the desired object or activity
Failure to point out objects with the index finger
Unusual response to certain sounds, sights and textures
Resistance to changes in familiar routines
Repetitive actions or questions
A preference for following their own agenda.
There are a number of subgroups within the spectrum of
autism but all children on the autistic spectrum share a
triad of impairments some of which impact on their
behaviour, for example difficulties with thinking and
behaving flexibly may be evidenced by obsessional or
repetitive activities. Some children on the autism
spectrum may have unusual sleep patterns. Many will
have difficulty in understanding the social behaviour of
others and in behaving in socially appropriate ways.
Other factors besides autism can also affect a child’s
behaviour – personality, environment, family
characteristics and the child’s skills and interests.
Children on the autism spectrum may have other
conditions which can impact on behaviour – for
example ADHD, dyspraxia and obsessive-compulsive
disorder.

Here are ten things every child with autism
wishes you knew:
1. I am a child.
My autism is part of who I am, not all of who
I am. Are you just one thing, or are you a
person with thoughts, feelings, preferences,
ideas, talents, and dreams? Are you fat
(overweight), myopic (wear glasses) or klutzy
(uncoordinated)? Those may be things that I
see first when I meet you, but you’re more
than just that, aren’t you?
As an adult, you have control over how you
define yourself. If you want to single out one
characteristic, you can make that known. As a
child, I am still unfolding. Neither you nor I yet
know what I may be capable of. If you think of
me as just one thing, you run the danger of
setting up an expectation that may be too
low. And if I get a sense that you don’t think I
“can do it,” my natural response will be, why
try?
2. My senses are out of sync.
This means that ordinary sights, sounds,
smells, tastes, and touches that you may not
even notice can be downright painful for me.
My environment often feels hostile. I may
appear withdrawn or belligerent or mean to
you, but I’m just trying to defend myself.
Here’s why a simple trip to the grocery store
may be agonizing for me.
My hearing may be hyperacute. Dozens of
people jabber at once. The loudspeaker booms
today’s special. Music blares from the sound
system. Registers beep and cough, a coffee
grinder chugs. The meat cutter screeches,
babies wail, carts creak, the fluorescent
lighting hums. My brain can’t filter all the
input and I’m in overload!
My sense of smell may be highly sensitive.
The fish at the meat counter isn’t quite fresh,
the guy standing next to us hasn’t showered
today, the deli is handing out sausage
samples, the baby in line ahead of us has a
poopy diaper, they’re mopping up pickles on
aisle three with ammonia. I feel like throwing
up.
And there’s so much hitting my eyes! The
fluorescent light is not only too bright, it
flickers. The space seems to be moving; the
pulsating light bounces off everything and
distorts what I am seeing. There are too many
items for me to be able to focus (my brain
may compensate with tunnel vision), swirling
fans on the ceiling, so many bodies in
constant motion. All this affects how I feel just
standing there, and now I can’t even tell
where my body is in space.
3. Distinguish between won’t (I choose not to)
and can’t (I am not able to).
It isn’t that I don’t listen to instructions. It’s
that I can’t understand you. When you call to
me from across the room, I hear “*&^%$#@,
Jordan. #$%^*&^%$&*.” Instead, come over to
me, get my attention, and speak in plain
words: “Jordan, put your book in your desk.
It’s time to go to lunch.” This tells me what
you want me to do and what is going to
happen next. Now it’s much easier for me to
comply.
4. I’m a concrete thinker. I interpret language
literally.
You confuse me by saying, “Hold your horses,
cowboy!” when what you mean is, “Stop
running.” Don’t tell me something is “a piece
of cake” when there’s no dessert in sight and
what you mean is, “This will be easy for you
to do.” When you say, “It’s pouring cats and
dogs,” I see pets coming out of a pitcher. Tell
me, “It’s raining hard.”
Idioms, puns, nuances, inferences, metaphors,
allusions, and sarcasm are lost on me.
5. Listen to all the ways I’m trying to
communicate.
It’s hard for me to tell you what I need when I
don’t have a way to describe my feelings. I
may be hungry, frustrated, frightened, or
confused but right now I can’t find those
words. Be alert for body language, withdrawal,
agitation or other signs that tell you
something is wrong. They’re there.
Or, you may hear me compensate for not
having all the words I need by sounding like a
little professor or movie star, rattling off words
or whole scripts well beyond my
developmental age. I’ve memorized these
messages from the world around me because I
know I am expected to speak when spoken to.
They may come from books, television, or the
speech of other people. Grown-ups call it
echolalia. I may not understand the context or
the terminology I’m using. I just know that it
gets me off the hook for coming up with a
reply.
6. Picture this! I’m visually oriented.
Show me how to do something rather than
just telling me. And be prepared to show me
many times. Lots of patient practice helps me
learn.
Visual supports help me move through my
day. They relieve me of the stress of having to
remember what comes next, make for smooth
transition between activities, and help me
manage my time and meet your expectations.
I need to see something to learn it, because
spoken words are like steam to me; they
evaporate in an instant, before I have a chance
to make sense of them. I don’t have instant-
processing skills. Instructions and information
presented to me visually can stay in front of
me for as long as I need, and will be just the
same when I come back to them later.
Without this, I live the constant frustration of
knowing that I’m missing big blocks of
information and expectations, and am helpless
to do anything about it.
7. Focus and build on what I can do rather
than what I can’t do.
Like any person, I can’t learn in an
environment where I’m constantly made to
feel that I’m not good enough and that I need
fixing. I avoid trying anything new when I’m
sure all I’ll get is criticism, no matter how
“constructive” you think you’re being. Look for
my strengths and you will find them. There is
more than one right way to do most things.
8. Help me with social interactions.
It may look like I don’t want to play with the
other kids on the playground, but it may be
that I simply do not know how to start a
conversation or join their play. Teach me how
to play with others. Encourage other children
to invite me to play along. I might be
delighted to be included.
I do best in structured play activities that have
a clear beginning and end. I don’t know how
to read facial expressions, body language, or
the emotions of others. Coach me. If I laugh
when Emily falls off the slide, it’s not that I
think it’s funny. It’s that I don’t know what to
say. Talk to me about Emily’s feelings and
teach me to ask, “Are you okay?”
9. Identify what triggers my meltdowns.
Meltdowns and blow-ups are more horrid for
me than they are for you. They occur because
one or more of my senses has gone into
overload, or because I’ve been pushed past
the limit of my social abilities. If you can
figure out why my meltdowns occur, they can
be prevented. Keep a log noting times,
settings, people, and activities. A pattern may
emerge.
Remember that everything I do is a form of
communication. It tells you, when my words
cannot, how I’m reacting to what is happening
around me. My behavior may have a physical
cause. Food allergies and sensitivities sleep
problems and gastrointestinal problems can all
affect my behavior. Look for signs, because I
may not be able to tell you about these
things.
10. Love me unconditionally.
Throw away thoughts like, “If you would just
—” and “Why can’t you—?” You didn’t fulfill
every expectation your parents had for you
and you wouldn’t like being constantly
reminded of it. I didn’t choose to have autism.
Remember that it’s happening to me, not you.
Without your support, my chances of growing
up to be successful and independent are slim.
With your support and guidance, the
possibilities are broader than you might think.
Three words we both need to live by:
Patience. Patience. Patience.
View my autism as a different ability rather
than a disability. Look past what you may see
as limitations and see my strengths. I may not
be good at eye contact or conversation, but
have you noticed that I don’t lie, cheat at
games, or pass judgment on other people?
I rely on you. All that I might become won’t
happen without you as my foundation. Be my
advocate, be my guide, love me for who I am,
and we’ll see how far I can go.

Teaching Children with Autism 1

Your classroom is already a diverse place. With the rising inclusion of students with autism in general education settings, the challenges associated with managing a classroom will grow.

This section outlines a simple and highly flexible six-step plan you and your teaching team can use to prepare for the inclusion of a child with autism in your classroom.

Step 1: Educate Yourself

You must have a working understanding of autism and what that means for your students. Sometimes children with autism may behave in inappropriate or disruptive ways, but their behaviors are more related to their autism than they are deliberate, disrespectful acts.

Learning about autism and about how it specifically affects your student is the first step to success. Your education about autism will evolve as your
relationship with your student and their family develops; your knowledge about the disorder and skills in dealing with its impact on the classroom will also continue to grow.

Maintaining an open attitude to learning and working closely with the parents and school team will help you (and your student) succeed in the long term.

Step 2: Reach Out to the Parents

Parents are your first and best source of information
about their child. Step two is all about establishing a
working partnership with the families of the students
you serve. Not only will you meet before the school year
begins, but it is critical to establish methods and
patterns of communication for which there is mutual
agreement.
Building trust with parents is essential. Communication
with families about the progress of the student should
be ongoing. While the information you exchange may
often focus on current classroom challenges, strategies
employed, and ideas for alternative solutions, do not
forget to include positive feedback about
accomplishments and milestones reached.

Step 3: Prepare the Classroom

There are ways you can accommodate some of the needs of students with autism in your classroom that will enhance their opportunity to learn without sacrificing your plans for rest of the class.

Of course, there are practical limitations on how much you can modify the physical characteristics of your classroom, but even a few modifications to support a child with autism can have remarkable results for everyone.

Step 4: Educate Peers and Promote Social Goals

You must make every effort to promote acceptance of a student with autism as a full member and integral part of the class, even if that student only attends class for a few hours each week. As a teacher, you must create a social environment that encourages positive interactions between the student with autism and his or her typically developing peers throughout the day.

Children with autism, by definition, have difficulties with social skill development and understanding language and social cues. With appropriate assistance, however, children with autism can engage with peers and establish mutually enjoyable and lasting interpersonal relationships.

Research shows that typically developing children have more positive attitudes, increased understanding, and greater acceptance of their peers with autism when provided with clear, accurate, and straightforward information about the disorder. Assuming there are no
restrictions on disclosing that your student has autism, educating your class about autism and how it can affect their classmate can be an effective way to increase positive, social interactions between the child with autism and his classroom peers.

Remember that many social interactions occur in settings outside the classroom. Without prior planning and extra help, students with autism may end up isolated during these unstructured times.

You may want to create a “circle of friends,” or a rotating group of
responsible peer buddies for the student with autism; they will not abandon him or her, serve as a model of appropriate social behavior, and protect against teasing or bullying. This strategy should also be considered for use outside of school.
