Sooner or later, your little one will have to leave the nest for school.the preschool that matches the personality of your child is the best one for him or her. A playschool is not just the first step of your precious child outside home but it’s also the first platform for learning and that is why many parents want to choose the best preschool.

The approach of a school is its perspective or method towards teaching and learning. You need to check whether that approach matches with your child’s needs as seen around 1-1.5 years of age, and not as per what you want your child’s personality to be. Yes, children are too young to choose but still, the choice should not be based just on what you like or want.

Below are few keypoints which has to be followed at every preschool you visit before enrolling your child

.

Content knowledge

This is when teachers have a deep knowledge of the subject that they teach and can communicate content effectively to their students. As well as a strong understanding of the material being taught, teachers must also understand the ways students think about the content, be able to evaluate the thinking behind students’ own methods, and identify students’ common misconceptions. There is strong evidence of the impact this has on student outcomes.

Quality of instruction

There is also strong evidence of the impact the quality of instruction can have on learning. This includes teachers being skilled in effective questioning and use of assessment. Good teachers also deploy techniques such as reviewing previous learning, and giving adequate time for children to practice, meaning skills are embedded securely. When done well, teachers scaffold students learning by progressively introducing new skills and knowledge through exceed education.

Teaching climate

The quality of the teaching and learning relationships between teachers and students is also very important.

Good teaching creates a climate that is constantly demands more, and pushes students to succeed. A good teaching climate challenges students, develops a sense of competence, attributes success to effort rather than ability, and values resilience to failure. The study found moderate evidence that the teaching climate in the classroom impacts student outcomes.

Classroom management

There is moderate evidence of the impact on students learning of: efficient use of lesson time; coordinating classroom resources and space; and managing students’ behavior with clear rules that are consistently enforced. These factors are perhaps the necessary conditions for good learning, but are not sufficient on their own. A well-ordered classroom with an ineffective lesson will not have a large impact.

Teacher beliefs

There is some evidence to show the reasons why teachers adopt particular practices, and the purposes or goals that they have for their students is also important. For example, research indicates that primary school teachers’ beliefs about the nature of mathematics and their theories about how children learn – and their role in that learning – are more important to student outcomes than the level of mathematics qualification the teacher holds.

Professional behaviors

Developing professional skills and practice, participating in professional development, supporting colleagues and the broader role of liaising and communicating with parents also have a part to play in effective teaching.
