EditMethod 1 of 3: Mental values

  1. 1
    Organisation: To be organised it is best to be around organised people. Also, look up YouTube videos (how to create a schedule); other wiki-hows will also provide good advice.
  2. 2
    Determination: To be determined is to be enthusiastic about the goal and to be enthusiastic the pupil must have an interest. If you are a pupil reading this and a subject is not interesting to you then do two things, look up how you learn e.g. audio learner and then find as many resources as possible to suit you. If you are a teacher then check how your pupil learns, how their parents/guardians view the subject and if there are other students in the class they don't get on with. If you are a parent then the same as above is good, but also try to help (e.g. posters, trips) and use your own knowledge.
  3. 3
    Consideration: The pupil should know how to prioritize, understand deadlines and figure out what can wait. Some resources, such as the urgent/important table are especially useful. Parents and teachers should check the deadlines and make sure the pupil knows them as well.

EditMethod 2 of 3: Social values

  1. 1
    Always consider autism and other conditions if nothing is working).
  2. 2
    Patience: This value is not easily learnt, so practice waiting for things (such as a friend to visit or a food to cook) and multitasking (which is a good way of dealing with time). Also look up videos and other wiki-hows.
  3. 3
    Kindness: A simple technique for this is to imagine you are someone else, anyone at all, then imagine how a day in their life would feel- be tougher and leave nothing unturned. For example, if you were to pretend you were an elderly neighbour then you could imagine the mornings in a cold house and getting breakfast, how slow you would go and how your limbs would feel. Or if you pretended to be a three year old then imagine being curious about everything, such as the wall paper and your feet, tasting a new food and having a tantrum.
  4. 4
    Temper control: This is difficult because bottling your anger is bad for you and not bottling it is bad for others. Some techniques include writing it down, talking into a recording device, stress balls and counting to ten. Sometimes a small amount of anger is needed in some situations, such as delivering a speech to a crowd.

EditMethod 3 of 3: Physical values

  1. 1
    Consider if the pupil has an illness/dyslexia/another condition).
  2. 2
    Exercise: This is one of the hardest values to install in anyone, let alone a pupil. However, exercise is useful in getting the blood pumping and helping the pupil to learn, so firstly consider what type of exercise is best (e.g. cardio, stamina, strength) and then times and agreements with parents and pupils should be made. Also think about interesting types of activities, such as fencing.
  3. 3
    Good posture: It may sound old fashioned but posture helps to stop back pain (which can interfere with learning and make a pupil grumpy), aid breathing and improve a host of other things. A simple technique is to but a medium weight book on the pupils head and tape a straight line on the floor. Another technique is to imagine a piece of string tied to your head and pulling your head up.
  4. 4
    Elocution and good language: A pupil needs to be understood and it is very difficult to understand them if their writing is bad and/or their speech is confusing. A good way to sort out the former is to get special exercise books and make faint outlines of letters for them to copy, while putting their pencil/pen between each word so it has space. For bad speech consider if the pupil has a lisp or an underlying condition. If not then find an elocution teacher/look up pronunciation videos and tongue twisters- for example: sea shells, sea shells on the sea shore, the shells she sells are not sea shells at all but fossils.

EditTips

  • Look up soft qualities and hard qualities. These are useful for the world of work.
  • There are quizzes which aim to tell you what type of learner you are. The link below is an example.
  • http://www.edutopia.org/multiple-intelligences-learning-styles-quiz
  • There are also some brilliant exercise videos on youtube.
  • Also look up Alan watts on youtube and consider his sayings, this helps with enthusiasm and thus determination.

EditWarnings

  • Always make sure the teacher-parent-pupil connection is strong and well used. If any party in this is not cooperative the chances of success are small.
  • Parents and teachers have a strong effect on pupils, so if they have a parent who hated maths it will take more work to convince the child. And a bad teacher doesn't help either.
