Every human is bestowed with at least one talent and the person is very good at it. Some recognize their talents very early, while others struggle to figure out the thing they are exceptionally good at. Thus, the people who are not aware of the talents and true calling need guidance to use those talents for the enrichment of their souls and the benefit of the society.
Here are ways:
- Encourage exploration:Create a classroom environment where students feel comfortable trying new things without fear of failure.
- Integrate talent development:Incorporate activities that allow students to showcase their skills and talents into regular lessons.
- Celebrate accomplishments: Acknowledge and praise students’ efforts and achievements, both big and small.
- Avoid comparisons: Refrain from comparing students’ skills, as this can lead to feelings of inferiority or superiority.
- Provide constructive feedback: Offer guidance and support to help students develop their talents further.
6. Observing the hobby of a student
Teacher can discover the latent talent in a student by observing their hobbies and their aptitudes in those hobbies. People usually tend pick up those hobbies in which they are talented. People having natural talents in a skill tend to be drawn towards similar hobbies and find their calling in that. However, they tend to abandon those hobbies as they age for other practical and pragmatic options often on the advice of their parents or relatives. Teachers can identify the talents of a student from their hobbies and can counsel them to pursue their hobbies in a serious manner.
7. Organizing various competitions and shows
Teachers can discover the latent talents of their students by organizing various competitions and shows and encouraging them to participate in those. They should convince the students not to get bogged down with competition and to enjoy the contests. The objective of these contests should not be to intensify a feeling of competition or rivalry among the students but to help them discover their hidden talents and gifts lying within them. Similarly, teachers can also organize some shows and exhibitions, such as science exhibition, arts and crafts exhibition, that will encourage students to participate in them and showcase their talents.
