Everything will be ok 馃槉

During the lasts weeks I've had moments when I didn't know what I was doing... Everything was too much. Work, study, sleep, eat and so on. A never ending circle. I had to stop and ask myself if I was being happy, if all the effort was worth it. And do you know which was the answer? YES! Of course it is. Working is hard and very demanding at times, but I get my reward when a kid comes and gives me a hug out of nowhere. Study almost drives me crazy but I know I'm on the right path when a teacher talks to me and tells me that I can do what I think I can't. It's hard, I know it. And perhaps it will get harder.

Let's take one step at a time and if there's something that slips from our hands, let the universe take control of that. Always remember that there's too much green to feel blue. Be organized, set your goal and repeat "I CAN DO ...

Feedback

The definition of feedback is "the transmission of evaluative or corrective information about an action, event, or process to the original or controlling source". It may be a little complicated to apply this definition to a teaching environment. To simplify, feedback is the way we tell students how they are doing. It is hard to know what our students are going through, we can't read minds. So we have to be extra careful with what we say but, more important, how we say it. Our words have power, they can do harm as well as create enormous satisfaction. We can create confidence but also destroy it. Children and teenagers will remember forever if something we said was good or bad. It's of vital importance to know how, when, and the kind of words we should use when we refer to the classroom. I remember struggling a lot to pass a subject, and when I got a 7 the teacher told me (in an awful tone): "Well, don't be so happy, it's just a poor 7". That mar...
