When you're learning and you know it shout "Hooray".When you're learning and you know it, then your face will really show it.
When you're learning and you know it shout "Hooray".
It's a good feeling to learn something. A good teacher will help students to recognize when they learn something and will praise them for their efforts in the learning process. But a good teacher won't artificially praise students for little, minor steps or for mindless efforts to complete an assignment. This sort of artificial recognition, though intended to benefit and encourage children, is not as good as when a teacher helps a child to know that effort and hard work--no matter the outcome--is praiseworthy.
Sometimes students have a fixed mindset and they don't believe that they are able to learn. These students need teachers to help them to realize that they are able to learn anything and that their effort will lead to achievement. Even student with high achievement could have a fixed mindset and these students are less likely to take risks and try new things for fear of losing the title of "smart". And when they stop trying, they stop learning and they stop growing intellectually.
So when your students learn something, tell them to shout "Hooray". Their brains are growing and their future is bright.
Love it, Peter!

ReplyDeleteThank you Denise. I appreciate it.
DeleteThis is a really good post. I enjoy doing this. You can do touch-typing without looking at the keyboard since the process involves touching the keyboard as you type? By using muscle memory, you can find the keys without having to see them and use all of your fingers simultaneously. Improve your typing speed and accuracy online by using the words you type every day. Track your progress with a report at the end of each test. Each practice test lasts between one and two minutes. You can use it to check your typing speed and accuracy.
