Teacher’s personality

Our presentation was about this topic:

The teacher is the most powerful person in the classroom and there are many ways for the teacher to use that power.
here there are some tips that can help us in the future
- First able the teacher must be a manager so he / she needs to be organized specially with contents and extra-material and must be secure because if learners feel safe, they will be more able to take part in the lesson
- The teacher must be a model and a guidance, a model because learners need to be shown new things and shown how to do new things and a guidance because learners need a helping hand to discover new things and to practice new skills.
- The teacher must be a friend and counselor, if we know more about children we can give them more tools or sometimes understanding maybe our student has a problem and we can represent a help for him, so we must show empathy with learners.

Learners need sources of extra information about what they are learning and the role of the teacher is must be an informant, too we must give a feedback because students need to know about their accuracy or about their mistakes.

Is fundamental that teacher knows the limits, mainly his/ her limits related to the contexts of the school and too according their own patience, because in some cases according my experience, with the time teachers tend to be more and more flexible and I think the quality of the contents that you are teaching lose the meaning. When you can’t control the behavior, and students don’t respect the teacher you can’t do many things and none lesson has sense.

Communications and Blogs

In the previous lesson we talked about all this resources that help us to show our ideas and our personal points of view to the rest of the world, and too the importance that they have in our academic life because through the blog we can improve or writing, spelling, and improve our critical thinking, something that is very important in our future labor as a teachers.

Classroom management

It was the first microlesson of this year were Eduardo, Diego and Rodrigo explained interesting points about the things that we should do in a classroom as; the tone of voice, eyes contacts, movements, how is the best form to order our students in the room, etc. and a lot of things that we, as a teacher must do for create a comfortable environment where they feel safe and motivated.

I think motivation is an important point that we must consider at the moment to prepare a lesson because lots of thinks depend on that, sometimes we prepare an interesting lesson for us, but we must be emphatic and think too in the position of our students.

In this presentation I can realize about the difficulty to pass the barrier (teacher’s desk) It is difficult for me try to control my nerves at the moment to speak, especially with my classmates. I think if they aren’t enjoying my presentation or whatever… but at school I have a predisposition different because I can talk with more naturalness.

Returning to the presentation of my classmates I think they look very self-confidents with good material, appropriated vocabulary, clear and well organized.
