3 things I have learnt from the video:
- Need to be observant to students' needs and understand where they are coming from
- Tolerance and understanding is key, no matter how difficult the student or the situation
- A problem child never exists alone; need to engage the rest of the class in your management strategy (e.g. laying down rules for the class as a whole and enforcing them across the board consistently)
2 things that I hope to apply in school in future:
(this somewhat overlaps with the things I have learnt from the video, so I selected just two that I really wish to be able to do)
- Maintain a calm and firm demeanor no matter the situation
- Always wait and assess things over time, don't jump to hasty decisions or actions
1 thing that struck me:
- "Every day is show time" -- how true! One of my favourite quotes is about how teaching is essentially a performing art, and this quote from the video really reminds me of it.
