The prolonged lockdown affected students attitude towards learning. They developed new habits during this period. So how do I get them passionate about learning?

Shout out to all my colleagues in this platform. It certainly warms my heart to know that i belong to a platform dedicated to the interest and warfare of teachers across the world - and without any ELEMENT OF BIAS. The colleague, whose name is Efosa, is a highly dedicated teacher. He has many years ...

This is a puzzle that i am trying to understand. I know your opinions would help a long way.

I keep my fingers crossed hoping that you will express your willingness to work along side me to execute this project. Bravo!

Greetings. I am a teacher in Nigeria with over 10 years experience. Have taught in many privately owned schools. I started writing a book exclusively for teachers in 2013. I encountered some challenges on the way and i abandoned it. But i picked it up again during this prolonged lock down. It's on t...

Greetings everyone, am doing some research on how teachers can increase their income streams. Teachers labour everyday to impact lives, so they deserve a good life. Let us contribute our opinions, stating our experiences in different countries.

Hoping to get your response

I currently teach an adult how to read and spell. The problem is that he is not making progress the way I expected; besides, he has a busy schedule. What method should i adopt to facilitate the process?

Recently in Kaduna state, Nigeria, teachers were subjected to competency test based on primary four questions. Unfortunately, 21,780 teachers failed woefully. Now, they are about to be sacked. What could be responsible for this gross incompetence of the so-called custodians of knowledge? To get deta...

RESPONSE TO YOUR OBSERVATIONS Thanks once again for your feedback. 1.The lady that makes over $2,559 daily from blogging. Am sorry this sounded too good to be true, but it is true! You should understand that how much you make from blogging depends largely on your niche and traffic, etc. She is the r...

Thanks for your helpful advice. Indeed, in the course of writing the book i spotted a number of wealthy teachers (in the real sense). Some own big and flourishing schools. I was quite amazed at their successes. Interestingly , they started small. Others have other thriving businesses they run. I did...

That's not the idea. IF you really checked out the campaign page, you would have observed that am asking for support to publish the book '22 Secrets of Wealthy Teachers, Vol 1'. It's a thoroughly researched work spanning 4 years. It chronicles the achievements of successful teachers, and how others ...

Therefore, we have provided a platform for everyone to contribute their quota towards enriching the lives of teachers. In other...

i would love to get your view on your attitude towards your career. Do you think teaching is the right career for you? How are teachers regarded in your country? What are your retirement plans?

Thanks Mr John for offering your thoughts on the issue. For those teachers in Nigeria, pension is the way out. The reason is that savings diminish with consistent inflation rate. Times are hard in Nigeria now. That is why smart teachers plan adequately for retirement to avoid misery and poverty.

AM researching on retirement plans for teachers. i want to know if you are making adequate plans for your retirement as a teacher. If so, what are they? i would appreciate honest response from teachers in this forum. Thanks

Nice suggestion from allardo2

you have to show a lot of patience. i also recommend the use of pictures and making the class as engaging as possible to keep the child's interest going.

Hi Sergio, i do not know the requirement since i have not applied for this service. i am from Nigeria

Since you are new in the school, it takes time to understand the students, and what interest them. Also your class should be conversational. Ask them questions, do not do all the talking alone draw them in.

Thanks Susan. I guess that's what i have to do.
