helps students understand the concept better. I liked how during the
discussion she gave positive feedback and affirmation about their
arguments.
In order to have an activity like mentioned above, I believe it is really
important to create an open and comfortable environment for students from
day one. During the post-conference, the teacher mentioned how from day
one she had the students individually sharing with the class and if they were
nervous she stood up with them, so that they knew what the expectation
would be in her class. I want to create an environment in my own classroom
where my students feel comfortable sharing their opinions and answers.
Another way the teacher made her classroom focussed and ready for a
discussion was through chocolate meditation. The students got excited about
this brain break and had time to relax. During this activity I could really see
the teachers own personality and teaching style. One of the take aways that
the teacher stated during the post-conference that really stuck with me is
that as a teacher teach from who you are and know where your boundaries
are, especially as a high school teacher.
