Recipes in the kitchen need essential ingredients to make every part of the meal something to remember. There are important steps to follow through in the recipe that leads to the ultimate satisfaction of the meal we are about to enjoy. 

But did you stop to think that a food recipe also includes learning skills that teach us language, math, and science?

At EduKitchen & the ETI Academy we believe that teachers, with the right skills, can develop general teaching strategies that when used correctly, can create recipes for success for their educational and future goals. These skills can also be applied to students looking for recipes for success when it comes to their learning!

Through our videos and resources we share important connections between what life can teach us, like being organized in the kitchen, and show how it benefits us in the classroom. Take a look at our videos and resources below. 

Edukitchen comes from understanding how education has a close relationship to the kitchen. The ETI Academy connects with EduKitchen by bringing education through inspiration we get from the kitchen!

Journal writing helps teachers connect emotions to their teaching through expressing responses to what went well and what did not in the classroom

Taking the time as a teacher to reflect at what goals have been met through self-love means criticism ccan be expressed through having their own journal time in reflecting what happens in the classroom.

Promptly journals provides teachers and their family and friends opportunities to use journals to capture special or important moments in their lives.

The 7 Ways to Teach for Success

Let us begin with recognizing the seven must have skills that can build a teacher’s recipe for success in teaching. 

I. Enthusiasm

(1) Begin with enthusiasm – It is in all of us, we just have to recognize it’s potential. We also need to recognize that we can do it, we just need to believe that we can, and nobody can tell you otherwise!

II. Confidence

(2) Add confidence – believe that nothing can stand in your way, and that you can, and  will teach to inspire!

III. Organization

(3) Sprinkle with organization –where is your happy place for preparing your lessons!

IV. Time Management

(4)  Include some time management – are you an early bird or night owl – what time are you most productive!

V. Problem Solving Skills

(5) Fold in your problem solving skills – recognize what you know, what you need to find, and how you solve that need!

VI. Communication Skills

(6)  Season well with communication – allow yourself to ask questions when you don’t understand or are able to share what you know with others! Positive words only!

VII. Patience

(7)  Blend the previous ingredients with patience – “Rome wasn’t built in a day” is the quote that tells us that patience in allowing for mistakes as you teach will help you grow in teaching and understanding.

Our mindset is also important; the last three ingredients on the list; consistency, goals, and positive outlooks help build a positive mindset for teaching.

We have put these seven skills in a free resource to download or to share with others.

Now that you have created your recipes for learning, think about how you learn, and why it is so important.

How We Teach Is Important for Success

If we change the focus of our learning from WHAT we are teaching to HOW we will teach the material, it will allow us to understand and believe more as to WHY we need to teach the material.

Along with how you teach, it is also important to consider how humor can make teaching so much more fun and interesting.

Consider Adding a Little Laughter To The List

Consider adding a little laughter in with all the seriousness of creating such recipes for teaching.

When we learn to see the humor in how sometimes things don’t go as expected, or the unintended consequences of doing (or not doing) things, then we make our day just a little bit brighter by taking away some of the anxieties we associate with teaching or life! 

 

Now put these ideas all together and you have a recipe for success in teaching!
