I am very glad to participate in the training course for seed teachers at DENER. This course has made me understand more about teaching techniques and methods for teaching children.

The teachers used step-by-step method to allow us to know where to pay our attention in the teaching process, especially in regard to reading children’s books as well as how to encourage their critical and creative abilities.  After taking several classes, I discovered that reading is not just about reading. It can also generate many interesting small activities so that children can get deep into the meaning of the story.

And with these lessons, I found that through teaching, I’m also learning. In addition to improving children’s abilities, my own abilities are also greatly improved and it becomes a peer learning model between myself and children.

This group of experienced teachers are very dedicated to teaching us.  They have organized and analyzed many different teaching methods. Each class has a different teaching technique. I enjoyed this design very much, in which in the morning we were taught the core principles and the teacher arranged an art class in the afternoon to get us to practice. In this way, I also gain some skills to interact with the children.

In addition, the teachers also arranged group discussions during the class so that our seed teachers could interact and exchange ideas with one another.  I also had the opportunity to express myself more bravely and share my opinions in presentations and on stage.

I believe that such practices will give me more courage during teaching and also make use of what we have learned to teach children more effectively!
