Understanding Classroom Dynamics

STOP -> GO -> IDEAL

  • Catering for different learning styles (Gardner)
  • Knowing your students
  • Provide opportunities for students to use their talents and give everyone a chance to speak. GENERALLY BE AWARE of what happens in group dynamics.
  • Bullying / peer group friction
  • Pastoral care - being sensitive to students situations; personal, home, and school life. Be aware of how this affects their school work and friendship groups. Make allowances for bad days and different personalities (Same goes for teachers (peers) and parents)!
  • Encouragement and recognition of efforts - praise when praise is due.
  • Sharing and displaying students work
