Chapter Summary: The way we teacher can have a big effect on our students. There will be times where our students will try hard for our approval but, we have to teach them how to find a place where their success is just as important for themselves. We as teachers may think that our students may be lazy but we cant just stop there, we need to dig deeper when trying to find the real issues. There is balance between discipline and encouragement. All students have different ways of learning things, therefore, it is better to encourage them rather than isolating them.When a student is frustrated, we need to try to understand that frustration a represent the material in a different way; discovering how a student learns. Key Concept: Each student has a different way of learning. It is our jobs a teachers to discovers those ways and make learning a more joyous process.
Key Terms: Different Modes
Connection: I completely agree with this chapter. I think we do need to look deeper at how our students react to the information we give them. I know it takes me longer to retain information, so for me, I have to slow everything down and say to myself "do I understand that." I thought it was interesting to find that students use laziness as a disguise of having a hard time. I think as teacher we need to be very observant on detecting those things in their earlier stages.
