The troubled student
Some good news to share with everyone. My student that has had problems throughout the school year has finally broke through the mold. I am getting to him as far as teaching is concerned. I just wish that it didn't take him this long to realize that education is important. He finally admitted to me that he just did not want to do the work. But lately, he has been turning in all his assignments. But there is another story to that. A couple of my other students, are slacking now. I am still so agitated and I have feelings of failure. But then I tell myself that it might not be me, because I know I am doing many things right, perhaps I need to work on my motivational skills. But as the school year comes to an end, I feel like I have a lot of work to do in regards to classroom management (in all aspects) to better my teaching for next school year.

Keep at it. I feel exactly the same way. In regards to your student. Just like selling a vehicle, we as teacher need to sell our lessons and not everyone buys in at the same time. Just keep selling and hopefully a few of those lessons will reach your student when they choose to buy in.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the progress! As we get closer and closer to the end of the year, I am feeling the need for better classroom management as my students grow rowdier and rowdier. Positivity is key! and Kin is right, not all students will buy in at the same time...but if we just continue to be creative and "sell" our lessons, they will come around!
