  teacher. Your sense of humor can relieve tense
  classroom situations before they become
  disruptions.

  person as you progress through this sometimes

Tips on Becoming a Successful TeacherBy Mike
Biscoe, eHow Contributor Teachers have a
critical responsibility. Directly influencing the
development of every child in the classroom at a
crucial stage in their development, the teacher
lays an educational foundation that students will
use to comprehend and navigate the world for the
rest of their lives. While that can be tough to
do effectively, there are some strategies to help
you.

• Preparation
• Students will sense your disorganization and
  reward you by quickly losing interest. Having
  organized lessons ahead of time means classes can
  proceed at a pace conducive to your student's
  level of interest. Additionally, being organized
  and prepared means a more certain teacher. On a
  broader level, a lesson plan for the year,
  whether in outline or in more comprehensive form,
  will remind teachers where they are at each stage
  of the year.
• Flexibility
• Though your lesson plan may be detailed down to
  the smallest detail, be prepared to change things
  on the drop of a dime. If an exercise doesn't
  seem to hold the students interest be flexible
  and change direction, even if only for that one
  section. Disruptions are a part of classroom life
  and a good teacher will need to be able to flow
  with it instead of fight it.
• Caring
• Show your students that you care about them. Only
  go through the motions and your students are
  certain to do the same. Showing you care may mean
  listening to student concerns, offering a
  compliment, flashing a smile or even a supporting
  hand on the shoulder. This creates a comfortable
  environment where students will ultimately feel
  more comfortable expressing themselves and
  learning new concepts. Parents also need to
  understand the level of concern you have for
  their children as this will propel them to
  encourage their child.
• Discipline
• Discipline with grace whenever possible.
  Disruptions do happen, and dealing with these
  disruptions in a way that maintains everyone's
  integrity is important. Always consider
  addressing the classroom as a whole rather than
  singling a student out when possible.
  Embarrassing a student is a sure way to turn him
  against you. If direct confrontation is
  necessary, speaking to a child in private is
  always a much preferable strategy.
• Humor
• Classrooms can regularly become cauldrons of
  anxiety due to demands of a specific subject,
  required examinations or outside influences.
  Before a disruption reaches the ignition stage,
  the ability to occasionally laugh, and encourage
  your students to join in, can place the lesson
  back on track and develop a sense of camaraderie
  between student and teacher.
