Welcome back to Monday! I hope your weekend was relaxing and recharging, because we’ve got more work to do before the year’s out…
I just read a very nice comment from a reader and I thought I’d post it directly here since many times the comments are overlooked by the browsing public. Here’s the comment quoted from this blog, but you can read it yourself by simply scrolling down the page to read the post titled “Why? Because I told you so…”
“Hello Darren, I have been receiving your mails and have been putting them to use. I am not a trained teacher yet, but I can tell you i already know what Teachers go through. I believe I go through worse. I teach at a supplementary school where there are virtually less or no rules. However with all the tips iIve been receiving and putting to use, I believe I already have my class under control. I already know what I want with them and am slowly but ‘definitely’ getting there. I especially love this one about students asking you ‘why?’. I can see it is already working for me. All I have to do is just say it! However, I will probably have something on ground for those extremely tasking children. You can never say! So Darren, am really looking forward to more of your Golden tips. Thank you in arrears, for now and in advance! Cheerio”
What a nice reminder for me of why I’m working in teacher education! I’ve used these tools and tips for years to much success, and it fills me up knowing that others are out there feeling more effective in the classroom after receiving a little guidance.
Thanks again for that great comment, and I hope to hear from more of you as you too experience increased success in the classroom.
Darren
