I have found this picture in my Facebook page and it really attracted me .It represents the smile that is missed these days ,the real smile that is coming from heart especially the teacher.The smile by the teacher can solve any classroom misbehaving if not it can decrease it .In my opinion ,great teachers are always positive and always smile. If you show respect for the students, they give it back to you.Teachers always made learning fun in this way and they genuinely care about kids.A smile costs nothing but gives much. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some teachers are too tired to give a smile but they should always have the magic action of smiling.
That's right nadia, a smile cost nothing but have a great feedback on students. This act code to build a safe climate in class in which students will feel safe and that effect their performance and achievement in class.Being always positive will make students interest in the session without being scared about their responds if they are wrong or under the limit.
ReplyDeleteNadia, the picture is so expressive and meaningful. Yet, sometimes you would be tired enough to not even be able to fake a smile. I guess the point that we are discussing here isn't about wearing a smile and talking to students. It is about being glad because you are a teacher and appreciating the joy of it. In this way, no one will force you to smile; you would feel of it being born whenever you see your students.
