Problem Solving while Teaching

1.4  Problem Solving while Teaching and Staying Within the School’s Design

Teaching can present various challenges, and UNP Labschool teachers are skilled at addressing issues as they arise. Here’s how they solve problems while staying aligned with the school’s guidelines and expectations:

-  Learning Difficulties : If students struggle with the material, teachers provide additional support through one-on-one assistance, simplified explanations, or additional practice exercises. The school encourages teachers to be patient and supportive, ensuring all students have the opportunity to succeed.

-  Handling Limited Resources : Since not every classroom has a dedicated projector, teachers work around this limitation by borrowing projectors from media resources when needed or adapting their lessons to use traditional tools like whiteboards. This flexibility helps maintain lesson quality despite resource constraints.

-  Dealing with Time Constraints : When time runs short, teachers prioritize the most critical parts of the lesson to ensure essential learning objectives are covered. They may assign unfinished tasks as homework or provide additional materials for students to review independently.

-  Managing Diverse Student Needs : Teachers at UNP Labschool recognize that students come with varied learning paces and preferences. To accommodate this diversity, they use differentiated instruction, offering multiple ways for students to engage with content and demonstrate their understanding.

-  Maintaining Cultural Sensitivity : Given the diverse backgrounds of students, teachers at UNP Labschool are mindful of cultural differences and integrate cultural awareness into lessons. They create an inclusive environment where students feel respected and valued.

By staying flexible and resourceful, UNP Labschool teachers maintain high standards of teaching while addressing challenges in alignment with the school’s mission and resources.
