Helping Your Students

 

We teachers have a few important tasks we love to perform.

We love to help our students do well in their studies so that they have a bright future and we love to talk about their successes.

How do we help our students do well?

I think we have three important assignments to work with our students in order to help them:

  1. Help them to understand their strengths in order to choose a suitable career in the job market
  2. Help them to understand the options offered by universities around the world
  3. Help them to acquire skills in order to be accepted by the university of their choice

I hope you will take some time to go through the following activities with your senior high school students:

  • Let them list out their strengths.
  • Explain their strengths by giving examples of the things they like to do.
  • Explain their strengths by giving examples of the things they do well.
  • Ask their classmates to add to the list through their observations.
  • Identify positions in the job market that matches the respective strengths of your students.
  • Search for 2 courses in 10 universities that will prepare your students for the jobs that they choose.
  • Narrow down the courses to 3 universities based upon their budget.
  • Discuss the reasons for their choices.
  • Discuss the entrance requirements of these universities.
  • Set goals with your students in order to qualify for these courses in the universities.

You may need to take a few lessons to go through the assignments and discussions listed above. The net result will be your students becoming clearer about their goals. They will also be motivated to study hard to qualify for entrance to the universities of their choice.
