Making your trial Wrap-up Interactive

Hello, everyone, and welcome to this session

today I'm going to share my best practises that I have been using to

keep my trial wrap of interactive for the Gauteng Mastery Level two programme.

This presentation is divided into five different sections.

In the first sections.

I'll talk about what are the basic things we can do when we meet and greet the parent

in the second section.

I'll talk about the most important to a part of this trial rapid pitch,

which are the four wise of this bitch.

The next week next section we will talk about the students pathway to success,

followed by the examples of our champions is a very and Jake and

eventually a few tips to keep in mind while delivering the session.

So let's get started.

The first thing we do is when we meet our parents. Uh, we introduced ourselves.

You say my name is so and so. I have been working with my use for this long time.

We asked the parents name as to how we may address them and what is their profession.

We begin by congratulating them on how

the child has performed throughout the session.

I often use the reason that your child was focused and

sincerely paying attention for the last 50 to 60 minutes.

And that is not easy at all. Uh, you know, given how Children are.

So, uh, you know, they keep moving from one thing to other in today's world,

so that's something to really congratulate them on.

We also,

I also ask them what is the reason behind booking

this session and eventually thank them for the information.

Now, these are some of the things that I do.

Uh,

I would recommend that obviously all of us may

have our own reasons to congratulate the parent or,

uh, you know, when they give us reasons behind booking the session,

then use whatever information the parent is giving you in, uh,

keeping the presence of mind into action.

Please use the information in the right way.

Now, I come to the most important part of this trial rapper pitch,

which are the four wise, Uh,

my four wives have been arranged in the same sequence as we

used while delivering the coding the rapper pitch to the parent.

So the first is why block coding now in this in this section Uh,

I often give the example by saying that when

your child goes to school in the early years,

does the child straight away learn to write letters?

Or does he first learned to identify what each letter looks like?

What is the sound of a letter? And what are the different words with that letter?

And the often answer that I get is no, no.

They first learn about the letter, and then in the end,

eventually they go on to learning how to write that letter.

Now I associate that with the fact that in the same way at by Jews,

we focus more on first understanding,

making a child understand the concept and then apply the concept,

indifference it's circumstances and situations and then eventually

removed the child onto writing a text code.

But like I say, you can think and relate,

depending on the information the parent has given to you

the next wise.

Why should they learn to use JavaScript not to make this slide interactive?

I first ask them questions.

So can you tell me any three websites that you use every day?

And they often come up with answers like Netflix

or YouTube or Google or the child's school website.

And then I go onto telling them that all

of these websites have been created using JavaScript.

I also asked them, Is there any game that you play a freedom that you kind of, you know,

like to play every day in your free time and they'll come up with something?

So you tell them that this game has been made interactive,

like when you tap on the screen, the player moves or changes direction.

All this interaction with the screen has been created using the JavaScript code.

Of course we know the example of areas. Um, how did you join the class today?

And you know what to do with that?

My next question, always them is why should the child learn to code at all?

And here I give them a very interesting example.

So I asked them 15 years ago when let's say someone graduated

and then they wanted to be a doctor or an engineer.

Did they have to learn computer to become a doctor and engineer? Was it necessary?

And the answer that I often get from a parent is 15 years ago. No, it was not necessary

and then I draw the comparison. What about today?

Do you think it's possible for someone to be a doctor or an

engineer or any other profession without knowing how to operate a computer?

And they will say, Definitely not

even a child needs to know how to operate a computer to study.

And then I go on to saying that is exactly what

is expected to happen to coding in the next 10 years,

just the way computers have become from a skill to, uh, education.

It will be a part of our everyday education in the same way,

coding is expected to be an important skill that people

will be Children will be using in the future,

and therefore this is the right time to prepare them for it.

The additional, uh, aspects of coding is that it enhances a child's ability to, uh,

you know,

logically apply, uh, concepts. It enhances a child's ability to reason.

It enhances a child's problem solving abilities. So those are my bonus points.

And then coming to the last question is just the right age for my child to learn.

I mean, is it very small to begin coding so I don't answer that question.

I again ask him So if if let's say your child has to learn Spanish or German or French,

what is the right age to begin to learn those languages?

And they will say to us that the sooner they begin,

the better it is because their potential to

learn languages is the best when they're young.

And then I come back to them saying that coding is also a language just the way

you're learning French and Spanish coding is a

language that you learn to speak to computers.

So the sooner they begin, the better it is. I also have centre.

At what age did your child learn to, you know,

operate on a mobile or an iPad or a laptop on their own?

And they often answered that you will get is three years, four years, five years?

And then I say that if we can, you know,

learn to work on a mobile or a computer at the age of 34 or five,

then he or she can certainly learn to go at the age of 78 or nine,

moving on to the students pathway to success. Here.

I first of all tell them that they will receive personalised 1 to 1 sessions.

We, you know,

they must have observed that today we hardly were talking taking any theory.

We just took time to explain the concept and

immediately when Don't be doing a lot of activities.

In fact, I focus that the child, uh, coded for the maximum part of the class.

And I tried to make that happiness. Well,

I also talk about how I as a teacher,

I'm recommending a personalised two year plan for the child basis.

His performance in the session today.

Uh,

I talk about how we are going to first focus

entirely on coding fundamentals in the first six months,

ensuring that his concept and his foundation is strong and then eventually go on to,

uh, you know,

transitioning into coding mastery from foundation to

mastery at the end of two years.

Not only do I mention that I am proud to be amongst the one per cent teacher,

but I always say that anybody,

whether it is me or any other teacher who's going to sit here and teach your child,

is amongst the top 1% selected teachers, we have gone through rigorous, uh,

interview processes.

And we've gone through rigorous training sessions.

We've gone through 800 plus hours of trainings to be

able to sit here and deliver these sessions to you.

And we are constantly updating ourselves by going

through these trainings on at regular intervals.

Uh,

I also then talk about savoury how you know she is the

youngest and has achieved three Microsoft exams at such a young age.

And, uh, when it comes to Jake,

I often highlight that you know where he lived because something was very,

very popular.

And he, uh, you know,

kind of established that one of the

most common problems people were facing with where

that there's no platform where people could

exchange or rent out there surfing equipment,

which is extremely expensive.

And so he came up with a solution to the problem and created a, uh,

an app where people could easily do that.

So what I say is, as teachers,

we encourage your child that where the rest of the

world looks at and says it is a problem,

they should be able to look and say, Oh, that's an opportunity,

and it's an opportunity to for me to find a solution, using my skills to court

and, in the end, just a few things to keep in mind.

We must always, uh, you know,

be attentive and listen to the little clues and hints that

the parent is giving us while they're giving us information,

use the presence of mind,

think and try and relate their reasons to be the

important reasons why the child should begin their coding journey.

Please keep smiling throughout the session because a

smile makes your parents feel at ease.

It makes them warm and welcomed in the session.

And, uh, if you smile, the parent will also stay in a happy in good mood.

Please,

please do not forget to appreciate the Children because

a positive encouragement goes a very long way.

If you smile, if you appreciate the child,

then the child will come back to you for its learning journey.

And that way you're making sure that the child

wants to stick to you for a longer period.

And this is something that a lot of us have been facing.

A problem with time is extremely precious,

so if we tell our parents that we will complete this class at the end of 60 minutes.

We have to make sure that we stick to our

words and try and complete this delivery within 60 minutes.

Uh,

I think we've been receiving a lot of help from pretty

ma'am from freedom am They have been giving this best practises.

They've been sharing feedback,

and, uh,

they've been making a lot of efforts to tell us how it's important to create a

good customer experience while making sure that it

is all done within the right time.

So please make sure that we stick to our delivery time.

And with that we come to the end of this video.

I thank you for watching the video and good luck.
