PLANETARIUM TEACHING

Learn great teaching methods. Don't think you know it all, even if you
are a professional astronomer keep looking for new ways to teach your

students.

Great theachers learn themeselves

and know how to make learning fun.

Be enthusiastic and if it's not your

thing, learn how to be. If you are not

enthusiastic, kids will not listen to you!
They want amusing teachers and not

lecturers.

Lessons Structure

Always prepare you lessons, improvising sometimes can be a good idea

but knowing how and what are you going to teach your students

will make the difference.

Structure your lessons and create fun experiences with solid guidelines

and your students will be interested and focused on your class.

Kids love to move and learn thinks by touching and feeling, so try
involve these senses in your Planetarium's lessons.
