Of course it is important to plan lessons well and to keep to some sort of
structure during the lesson. This is a manifestation of Professionalism. However,
there are times when thinking on your feet and being truly inventive is also
a good idea.
This ability can turn you from being not merely a Professional, but a Master!
Spontaneously creating a completely new approach to solving a particular problem
your student is having can sometimes produce a major turning point, particularly
for students with problems that are somewhat off the beaten track.
Here are two rules you might find useful in this situation:
- Don't try a new idea just for the sake of trying it. Try to solve the problem
using tried and tested approaches first.
- Make sure that any new approach firmly adheres to basic principals of good
teaching practice - these are outlined in the articles available free on this
site.
