I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. Nelson Mandela

Teacher's Personality


Today presented Dreny, Nicole and Katherine. They talked about how we should be in front of a class, how we could improve what we already know but don’t practice and how we should behave with students correctly. They gave us some tips to improve our lessons.
They mentioned the teachers' role. Among them we can find involver, planner, manager, motivator, parent/ friend, diagnostician and resource.
They made a good presentation with a very interesting video called "Teddy's Bear". This video was about the story of a teacher and her prejudices about a boy with no interest in class. The ending of the story was really emotive. It was a sad story but with a happy ending.
They had a good use of time but while they were showed us the parctical hints for teacher I got loose because they did that part so fast that I couldn't understand some teachers' roles and They forgot to gave more participation to the students.
