Deliberate Acts of Teaching from Staff Meeting today

Today at staff meeting, Linda (as CoL leader) asked us to reflect on Deliberate acts of teacher. See Slides..

DELIBERATE ACTS OF TEACHING

TAKE AWAYS

The importance of open-ended questions that encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.

To actively listen to students' responses and ask probing questions to deepen understanding and spark further discussions.

Significance of creating a safe and inclusive classroom environment where all students feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas.

Adapting questioning techniques based on a student’s age, ability, and cultural background is essential.

Participating in ongoing professional development by providing additional resources, such as books, websites, or online courses, to further enhance questioning skills beyond the activity.

The highlight for me today was the Wellbeing and Resilience talk. As per slides attached.. fulfillment, sleep mastery and thinking were very interesting. Notably, purpose is more important than fullfilment and thinking leads to anxiety, so one is better to stop thinking and instead to focus on tasks!
