We are going to use this space to share ideas, talk about issues, and reflect upon what's going on in the world around us. Remember, this is a respectful forum!
I'd like to know what makes a good teacher, and I would like to try to meet your expectations. Let me start by telling you what I think makes a good student in a Global Awareness classroom.
A good Global Awareness student is someone who...
- Is respectful to his or her peers, inside and outside of the classroom
- Is respectful of sensitive topics that we discuss in class
- Takes responsibility for his or her work and actions
- Has an open mind and can try to see things from someone else's perspective
- Take chances with his or her work...that leads to discovery!
What I'd like you to do is...
- Comment on this post and tell me what you think makes a good teacher in a Global Awareness classroom. What do you expect from me? In any format you like (list, paragraph, etc.) please write 3-5 qualities of a good teacher. Be sure to check your work before you post. Remember, when we post on a blog, we are sharing our work with a large group of people. Write something that you can be proud of.
- Reply to at least one comment by your classmates. Write why you agree or disagree, or compliment a good suggestion. Remember, all writing should be checked for spelling and grammar before it is submitted!
