'.... all those activities undertaken by teachers and for their students, which provide information to be used as feedback to modify the teaching and learning activities in which they are engaged'

Black, P and William, D. (2002)

It's not just about written tests...
Do you care enough, to try and find out through other ways, how best to improve on the teaching and learning in your class? 😎

Positive Relationships

#BK1b Chapter 3: Positive Relationships:

Positive relationships matter in the workplace, at home and in the classroom. It matters everywhere!

When the team members don't get on, members of the family don't get or the Teacher finds it difficult to get on with learners... Nothing works!

Make an effort to create, have, maintain positive relationships as much as is within your power to do so.

Developing the "I can do it" spirit in your child

What role do you play in encouraging your child to 'give-up' or 'tackle the challenge'?
Various examples abound of famous people who wouldn't have been successful if they had given up the first few times they failed.

Let your child know sayings like:
'Try, try, try again, until you succeed' 'Quitters never win'
'Faint heart never won fair lady'
'Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly'.....

(http://www.forbes.com/sites/ekaterinawalter/2013/12/30/30-powerful-quotes-on-failure/#30faf6c015d3).......and the likes of those.

Encourage your child constantly, let him/ her know you believe in them and it's going to be alright.

What has been your experience in the area of developing this trait in child?
