1 thought on “Tigers”
Carla,
Thanks for your contribution. Your reminder that it’s all about them is timely for many trying out TPRS for the first time this year. Your enthusiasm is contagious and encouraging for newcomers.
I just want to add one thought to Carla’s post to remind everyone new to TPRS that the love fest cannot happen without a delicate balance: As we build our solid foundations of trust (the bricks), let us not forget the grout that holds it all together. The grout is our standard of discipline. I know that Ben talks of it often. Striking a balance between LOVING our students whole-heartedly and holding them accountable can be tough. It’s truly an art form. But unfortunately, we deal with children, and they need to be guided in self-discipline and how to take initiative. This is why I believe strongly in a system of consistent accountability such as the “págame” system. I think much time is wasted in classes where there is little accountability. Kids truly need to learn how to feel the difference between looking like they’re paying attention and “listening with the intent to understand” (I believe Ben gave us this phrase, correct?). Just some food for thought.
