Sit or Stand to Teach

Do you sit or stand when you teach?  I stand when I teach, and when I teach I am all into it.  I am extremely mobile.  My students know that I am all over the room.  When you are teaching, you should project energy!  Energy is not projected by sitting behind the desk nor is much energy projected while being stationary behind a podium.  The instructor has to get into the lesson in order for the students to get into the lecture.  Stand and teach, and project and abundance of energy so that you can excite your students!

I can't agree with you more about standing and moving around the room. The more energy you project, the more you will connect with your audience.

Patricia I am with you I must be up moving around and seeing what that class is into. I like to work with my class. I think this helps to keep them motivated.

What a great question.

I stand 97% of the time I'm on platform.

 I love to walk around the class and just give off as much positive  energy as I can. I do sit or stand more behind the podium when I'm reviewing for tests or have something I need to discuss that might be school related.

I not only stand but I walk all around the room while leturing.  I feel it keeps the students more engaged when I am animated.

I am usually all ove rthe classroom because it helps me to keep everones attention. People cant play with there cell phones or daze out when they dont know where i will be from time to time...
