Why I chose this?

• Mention your activity of choice and briefly say why you chose it ?

 

Walking into the same classroom within the same environment had made me felt of boredom at times. When I gave a thought for the same, students may also feel the same boredom seeing the same teacher walking into the classroom every time. So thought to bring a change in this and that was through bringing a guest speaker into my classroom. 

Many teachers bring in guest speakers to illustrate points in their lesson plans, and give students a break, but I believe guest speakers have the power to do so much more. Here are few reasons for which I will invite a guest speaker into a classroom. Students have the opportunity to learn something new from an expertise and through this we also give professionals a chance to connect with students. It supports subjects you may not know a lot about so having another person teach a quick section of your class is a nice break for students – and it also lends a different perspective to the students. It creates amazing community relations. Sometimes it may also takes a guest speaker to hammer a point home for the students, whether it’s from their personal or professional experience guest speakers have the chance to make an impact in the minds of the students. Hence I look forward to see a smile on my student’s faces when someone amazing walks through the door.
