"...the best approach is to acknowledge the negative feelings and give the student a safe place for a few minutes, allowing the brain and body to calm down." THIS IS IMPORTANT! #TEC207@mgcjusa https://t.co/y4MMNX2YXl
Let’s remember that just because a parent(s) doesn’t come to school 4 events, conferences, etc. it doesn’t mean they aren’t invested in their child’s education or don’t care. #satchat
How to improve your listening skills:
1 talk less
2 do not interrupt
3 maintain direct eye contact
4 put your phone down
5 listen with your eyes; look for the unsaid
6 be interested
7 if you are waiting for a pause, so that you can speak, then you're not actively listening
I suspect there are adults out there who find it challenging to cope with the drama in their own household. Tomorrow... be mindful of what your students are coping with at home.
Always remember to include parents in your student's school lives! Looks like a very important #satchat session today! #TEC207@mgcjusa https://t.co/CYODQb5eLo
As you sit in your home at peace, and sleep through the night in the quiet, realize many Students don't. To them, your classroom is their safe place & you are their security. You're SO much more than a Teacher. To many, You're Everything! #edchat
