Term 1, 2021 (Week 7)
Throughout this week I always provide constructive feedback on their leaning through giving positive reinforcement like clapping and using magic words to thank them and commented excellent, very good and keep it up on their books for their participation and great effort, by receiving constructive feedback students are motivated and encouraged to do more activities. Not only that but also providing resources that used help make diversity visible and avoid biased and stereotypical representations such as my teaching aids were all written in large fonts and using body language while discussing the notes I speak very loudly and also treating students equally throughout the learning activities.
Another thing I have learnt is that sending students who always misbehave in the classroom to the principal is very effective as it stops the habit of skipping classes, I can prove this by seeing them while returning from the principal their habit and behavior changed and they were doing well in the learning. Similarly marking students’ work has encouraged students to always do their work and involved in the learning, by doing this I can see that they were committed to their task and their progress becoming improved. These are another way to show how I cared for my students.
Finally, to show how I cared for my students, I always let naughty boys to sit at the front, what I have learnt from this is that it’s very effective as the learning is never disturbed by those boys from the beginning of our lesson until the end and also another way to let them involve in the learning rather than just sitting at the back doing nothing. During the learning I often treat student fairly, cared and support them whenever they need assistance from me and also report them to their parents/guardians about any matters happen to them. I have learnt that sharing skills and techniques during the ALT meeting especially to our department members who need help is another way to show that you are cared for them and by doing these they improve my profession through caring relationship.
