Teaching Studies 2Establishing relationships with learners Learning Outcome: Identify factors which promote effective relationships with learners
Developing good relationships with children is imperative. • Be warm • Be natural • Be pleasant • Be approachable • Be tolerant • Provide an emotionally and psychologically safe environment
Strategies • Learn names • Share yourself evenly • Get to know children in a variety of ways • Talk to them in small groups or 1-2 • Watch them in various settings • Join in with them
Smile • Show an interest • Comment on positive things • Respect them as individuals • DO NOT OVERDO IT. Make interactions as natural as possible
Finding a balance- Appropriate assertiveness You are not a friend You are not a mouse You are a teacher Remember this when you start your next placement
In a challenging situation appropriate assertiveness looks like: • stating what has happened • your response and • what you want or need Initial response needs to be objective Eg “When you are shouting at me I cannot hear what you are saying and I need you to calm down.”
To teach you dont have to care for your studentsAbsolum, 2006
Teaching techniques which show Openness: Respect: Honesty • Share learning intentions/success criteria • Show exemplars/assessment criteria etc • Ask children to own their learning • Use self and peer assessment against exemplars • Contrast exemplars against student work • Teacher seeks children’s views How is it going for you?
