| Delegating - A Critical Skill Teachers Need to Learn
Delegating some responsibilities does a lot more than make your life as a teacher easier. It builds teamwork, increases efficiency, raises morale, and can even boost student productivity. But it's not always easy to do. Here are some simple strategies to get you started.
Delegate responsibility, not work. Too many teachers confuse delegating responsibility with dumping work on someone. Students know the difference. Don't assign a project and insist that the student do it your way - there needs to be room for the student's personal touch.
Let students take turns running the class. This does three things. First, it shows them that you respect and trust their abilities; second, it builds their confidence and leadership skills, and finally, it gives you a chance to see how they can handle group situations.
When delegating, don't ask a student, "Do you understand?" Many students will answer yes regardless - for fear of looking stupid. Instead, ask questions such as "Any ideas off the top of your head as to how'll you'll proceed?" You'll get a better sense of whether or not you were clear in your directions.
Establish routine checkups. At the beginning of the project establish meetings in advance when you and the student in charge can sit down to ensure everything is on track. Important: Don't check up every day. You want students to feel as if you trust them to get the job done on their own. Again, the teacher is the wind beneath the wings. |
