Teachers Personality
The first thing that the girl did was write in the board the definition of a list of words,that we didn't know the meaning like: slip up,tongue in the cheek,drawbacks,bamboozle,etc., they talk about what the personality teacher must have and gave the TOP 6 KEY TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL TEACHER:
- sense of humor,
- a positive attitude,
- high expectations,
- consistenly,
- fairness and finally
- flexibilty
Then the girls gave us a piece of paper in which we can find the different teacher's personality like:fair and balanced,more coach that teacher,ditto master,popular disciplinarian and the last walking carpet personality so the audience participate in the writting part. After that gave us situations in which we had to find out to which one personality belong.
The presentation was interesting to hear because if somebody asks about the characteristics of a good teacher, of course, everyone would say something like the 6 "THINGS " that a teacher should have in order to become a successful teacher and it's funny how a teacher or future one should be able to learn,to create or even to incorporate those characteristics if we want to be successful.
aboutgood too,just like the other ones,but Coni and Marce can improve the tone of their voice because it was too soft,but good,so it's just a detail than can be changed.
Resiliency
Bullying
- 0=you are ok,
- 1 or 2= possibly a bully in the making and finally more than
- 2=you defenitly are a bully and should consider ways to change your behaviour
...and it turn out to be that I get 2 yes so you can imagine the rest...it's hard to hear that you can be potentially a bully person,but in my defense I can say that a question like do you like to tease or taunt other people? or do you get angry a lot and stay angry for a long time? , in the first question it's something that I do with my friends but just joking and in the second it depends on that gets me angry,but anyways I think, if it's a bad thing, you can change it easily.I like the fact that we were able to apply inmediately the topic to ourselves,so it was great! But it is something very important to be aware of not because it's something that happens regularly,because it's something that we're going to face it eventually.
