BE A SMART
TEACHER ?Dr.T.V.Rao MD
We the TeachersBecoming a successful faculty member at a Medical college or any Institution is no trivial undertaking. People are not born knowing how to prepare and deliver effective lectures, make good use of the growing power of instructional technology, write rigorous but fair assignments and exams, help students deal with a bewildering array of academic and personal problems, build reasonably good research program, and teaching assistants
Balancing life with
Academics Balance the endless and
often conflicting time
demands imposed by
teaching, , service, and
personal life. It takes
most faculty members
long years of trial and
error to learn how to do
all that, and some never
quite figure it out.
Most of us are
interested in improving
something about
ourselves: our
productivity, our sanity,
our organization, our
happiness, our
effectiveness, our
impact on the
environment, our
minds, our dreams.
Every one is interested in improving
the world but few practice it ?
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 4
Think to make make
better decisions -
decisions that
benefit yourself and
others - this leads to
more success in
business and
finances. You are
also more productive
when you're happy.
Think about making better decisions,
do not worry even if you fail?
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 5
Learn something “new”
each day to keep
growing intellectually.
Stagnation of thoughts
will eventually end up
giving you a cesspool of
nothingness. Be
curious. Become growth
oriented. Always look
for information that
enhances your personal
performance or position
in life. “Lazy” is not part
of this process!
Learn something New every day
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 6
Our Main Job Is Teaching[Lecture preparation]
On average, it should take two
hours to prepare a new 1-hour
lecture on material you know,
three at most; half-an-hour to
revise a 1-hour lecture; and
roughly 30 hours to prepare a 1-
hour interactive web lecture. If it
takes you much more than that,
you’re probably over preparing (a
common mistake made by new
faculty members).
Avoiding overloaded syllabus
Have several
professors
independently analyse
the content of a course
and decide which
topics they would not
include. Those topics
may generally be
considered optional.
Over doing things
causes confusion
Many Teachers loose
interest in reading other
than what they are
supposed to Teach,
However Choose a book
that requires effort and
concentration and read
a little of it every day, so
that you read it from
cover to cover in 100
days.
Read a book on something other than
you know
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 9
Use instructional technology only for tasks that are essential to the course and cannot be done as well—if at all—without it, and when the added cost of using it is reasonable. If you decide to use it and you’re not an expert, get help.
Use Instructional technology
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 10
Design tests so that 15–20% of the material is covered only in the lectures, 15–20% only in the readings, and the remaining 60–70% in both. To make sure that a test is not too long, work through it yourself and multiply your solution
Design the Tests with Caution
and Practicability
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 11
When someone does
or says something
that upsets you, take a
minute to think over
your response instead
of answering right
away
Teachers are targets
for criticisms Think
how much you are
responsible before
you React ?
Teachers are targets for criticisms
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 12
Good teachers try
and try and try, and
let students know
they try. Just as we
respect students who
really try, even if they
do not succeed in
everything they do,
so they will respect
us, even if we are not
as good as we want
to be.
Good Teachers Really Want to
Be Good Teachers
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 13
Negative talk produces
negative thoughts;
negative thoughts
produce negative
results”,
Feed your mind with the
thoughts, words, and
images that are most
consistent with who you
want to be, what you
want to have, and what
you want to achieve.
Think positive avoid negative ideas
Thinking positive is the Best Option
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 14
We teachers have
something called
academic freedom.
Too many of us
interpret that to mean
the freedom from
firing. I love taking
risks. It keeps some
excitement in what is,
after all, a pretty
placid profession.
Never Forget We are Gifted
People
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 15
I like to try
things that
can fail. If
there is no
chance of
failure, then
success is
meaningless.
Do not Bother
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 16
Become aware of the
differences between
how you treat others,
and how you treat
yourself. Are you
dismisive of
yourself? Do you
treat yourself with the
same respect that
you treat others?
Teach Others
How to Treat You
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 17
Just about
all of the
good
teachers I
have known
are eternally
busy.
Good Teachers Never Have
Enough Time
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 18
For good teachers the day is never done. While it does not follow that any teacher who keeps busy is a good teacher, the good teachers I know rarely have time to relax
Good teacher have little Time
to Relax
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 19
It sounds simple and
old, but it is absolutely
true. Often we don't
realise how sullen we
are. Consciously making
an effort to smile more -
even when you're alone
(especially when you're
alone) will increase your
general state of mind
automatically.
Smile More – Complain less
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 20
We all come across
people who upset us or
make us angry. We all
come across people
who seem to be just
mean and nasty. Here's
a perspective-adjuster
that can really help in
dealing with such
people.
The people around you
are not your choice try
to ignore them .
Some people are just bad
learn to deal with them
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 21
Read about a
subject you
wouldn’t normally.
This is a great way
to develop a better
understanding of
the world. It will
also make you a
more interesting
person in the
process.
Read a New Topic Think New
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 22
We have noticed that good teachers, when they get really good evaluations, don't quite believe them. They focus instead on the one or two erratic evaluations that say something bad about them. They good teachers tend to trust only the negative evaluations
Good Teachers Do Not Trust
Student Evaluations
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 23
life is new every day
be curious like a Child to learn
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 24
Good teachers tend to discount the positive evaluations, however numerous they may be; less-good teachers tend to discount the negative evaluations, however numerous they may be.
Good Professors Learn from
Student Evaluations
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 25
Teachers should Create World
of Possibilities
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 26
Never forget punctuality and sincerity
more respected than your status
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 27
It is Great to be a Teacher and Greater to be a Sincere
Teacher
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 28
