How To Teach Paideia With Children

How To Teach Paideia With ChildrenOne of the methods used in Paideia Tutoring is the verbal component. The student and teacher work together and take turns talking and explaining each lesson in a way that they will both be able to understand.To understand the verbal component of Paideia, first we must understand what the teacher is communicating. A teacher can only communicate the material provided in the course; he or she cannot help the student understand how to use the material. It is up to the student to ask questions.There are certain points to remember in order to make sure the teacher and student can understand each other. First, the teacher will provide the lesson in a way that he or she will understand it and the student will be able to repeat it to others. Second, the teacher should be able to give a quick explanation of the material to the student and then follow up with the student on the material.The teacher should never assume the student knows what the lesson is about. If the student gets it backwards the student will do well in the first part of the lesson and will tend to misinterpret the lesson. Third, the teacher should be ready to explain how to make the student understand something at the end of the lesson.As an example, we have been doing some Paideia with children who have been eating lunch. As a matter of fact, my wife has taught this material in her classroom before.I joined her class for the first time a couple of weeks ago and learned to eat lunch with the students and I think they were impressed. The second day we did the same activity but this time, I gave them a diagram and they understood it. The third day I was again giving them a diagram and they knew exactly what I was talking about. There were more interactions like this but that is a very common example.The thing I like about Paideia is that each individual students have their own individual learning style. The best way to teach something is to figure out what the individual is looking for. Then, by choosing the appropriate teacher and getting them to the material at the right pace, you will find the child going at their own pace.One of the things I really like about Paideia is that you get to build your own curriculum. Since you know how the student will learn and what types of behaviors they will exhibit, you can create your own curriculum to fit their learning style.
