How to choose a first-class teacher for a child: primary school
The first grade is the main impression for the kid, which will be reflected in his entire future school life. Therefore, it is important to carefully approach the choice of school. In addition, you need to understand how to choose a teacher, because this is even more important than choosing a school.
Can parents select primary school teachers for a child
Tentative first-grade rosters begin to form in January. Each school assesses how many draft-age children live in the designated area and decides how many classes to open. According to the recommendation of the Ministry of Education, there should be no more than 24 people in the class, but it is allowed to exceed the norm by 3-4 people.
How to choose the right teacher for your child
If vacancies remain in the classes, then they can accept everyone, even if they are not assigned to the school. Priority is given to those parents who applied earlier. You can apply in April, but you will not be able to find out for sure whether your baby has gone to the chosen school until September.
Parents can ask the school management to enroll a student with the desired teacher, but they cannot demand this. Usually, the school administration will meet the parents halfway if there are free places.
How to find the perfect first grade teacher
To find such a teacher, ask him for a lesson. Choose the child in the class that is most similar in behavior to yours. Next, observe how comfortable this child is in the lesson and how the teacher treats him. Pay special attention to the following nuances:
- If your baby is an extrovert, then the teacher should respond well to kids who often raise their hand with a question.
- If your little one is having a hard time adapting, watch the teacher move from one activity to the next and see if she has a strict schedule.
- For a hyperemotional student, look for a teacher who responds well to intense expressions of emotion.
- For an active toddler, look for a class with lots of physical activity.
- A small introvert needs a teacher who allows students to periodically immerse themselves in themselves and study on their own.
- If you have a sensitive toddler, check with the teacher to keep track of classroom hygiene and eating habits during the school day.
Do not trust only the reviews, because all first-graders are different. Try to build on your personal impressions.
Take the time to find the perfect teacher. It is he who can instill in your child a love of education.
