It’s time for Nicholas Houghton’s teaching tip of the week. This week’s tips is:

Learn all students’ names as soon as possible. You’ll find you can do it; we all can. By using their name every time you address them, you not only help them to feel valued, you help yourself to learn their name. The first session you might consider giving them post-its to wear with their names on, so you don’t have to keep asking their name.
