What motivates you and how do you motivate?
Classroom Management bk 1d
THE RIGHT USE OF MOTIVATION:
Success motivates everyone.
If a learner successfully completes a given task and meets the objectives of a lesson, he or she is motivated to do more in subsequent lessons and is less likely to go off task.
Try intrinsic motivation to enable your students to excel and see what happens next. 😎

Active listening versus 'just listening'
EmotionalIntelligence
People need to feel safe letting out feelings as they talk to you, they need to know that you are fully with them and listening objectively as they express these feelings.
Active listeners are said to have better social skills.
Active listening models excellent behavior to the children.
Are you an active listener? 😎

How well has this term's learning gone so far?
#Assessment2b'
Summative assessment could best be summarized thus:
'... a picture of current achievements derived from information gathered over a period of time in order to set future targets'
Harlen, et al
The term is drawing to a close and we need to assess just how much learning actually took place in our classes.
Will your exams be set in such a way that you can really get an objective answer to the question - how much learning #actually took place in our classes? 😎

The effect of seamless transitions on your lessons ...
Classroom Management Bk1c
The starter, main body and plenary, constitute the major parts of a lesson but could be interspaced should the teacher desire, with mini plenaries and activities which take account of the various learning styles...
Moving from one aspect of the lesson to another (taking into account all the abilities and learning styles of the learners) and keeping in mind the objectives and outcomes you want to achieve... constitute transitions.
How do you plan transitions in your lessons to keep your learners constantly engaged and learning? 😎

Charismatic versus bully - a function of Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence
People who have a high EQ (emotional quotient ie emotional intelligence) have both high academic performance and high social development.
Have you observed that the most popular seniors in school in the eyes of more junior students, are the ones that are smart AND show that they care about them - regularly asking them how they are doing?
The least popular seniors are those that bully and show they don't care...
Wouldn't our schools and ultimately our Country be a better place if only we could equip our children successfully, with Emotional Intelligence? 😎

The tool of assessment - what value does it measure?
#Assessment2a
What exactly do you assess?
The 'value' being measured by the tool of assessment is the actual learning that has taken place.
How much did they learn and how well did they learn it?
Do you consider this when you are planning assessment for your learners? 😎
