This is an open arena to share ideas about teaching as a profession. All topics in relation to teaching in any way are welcome. Etiquette as it would apply in the classroom is appreciated as it is a good behavior modeling techique for all teachers to practice in my view.
put learning first, and teaching follows in harmony
Welcome to Shannon's Blog
Let the good times roll.....thoughts are food for the soul.
I usually perceive things of a visual-spatial nature much more quickly than auditory cues. I may not hear some student's snide remark from the back row, but I can tell who the students treat as a social pariah by the relative distance they put between themselves.
ReplyDeleteI tend to miss momentary events, so students might slip a few infractions by me. This could make discipline tricky to administer fairly. On the other hand, I am pretty good about addressing recurring patterns.
David,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. I was referring to personal background, like the way a person is raised or your background, though. From a behavioral perspective, do you gossip at work? Are you professional toward your students, including your nonverbals, what is your teaching style and how does it reflect your background and well as who you are today? That sort of thing.
