How we as teachers can weaken our student's confidence and independence:  comparing them, not accepting their differences and capacities, ignoring them,being authoritarian and keeping  a big distance between  the teacher and the students, not accepting their ideas....

HOw to create a classroom environment that supports students to become confident and independent learners:

Trying to understand each child´s personality, alwyas encourage them, congratulate them every time time they deserve it, Being sympathetic with all of them, accepting them in their diversity, not comparing them, trust them, value and respecting them,

3.1. Scaffolding for Student Ownership and Independence

# data[].attributes.body
According to the idea of the PBL and the concept of scaffolding for ownership, I think that studernts should jump into the deep on their own, and according to their own capacity, some of them will need to "go UP" to breath quite soon and other a bit later. Teachers must be like the air they need to success. Teachers must be therefor everyone to help and suppert the pupils, but they should never anticipate to stop the rythm of every student.

describe a situation in your professional or personal life where you were first unsuccessful but because you stuck with it you succeeded in the end. Finish by identifying why you stuck with the problem/task and did not give up (and make sure to copy your entry also into your Learning Diary).

I am very constant in most of the things  I do. Some years ago another teacher and I were proposed to start  and open a new state school in a place not very well located in the city. Colleagues thought that it would be impossible to create a school there, that families would choose it for their kids....  We worked hard at the beginning with only a few students , but after 10 years the school is completely full and the group of teachers are permanent. It was a challange. It needed timed, work, effort and team work. I am proud of it.

I was involved in a etwinning project last year. My intention is to start a new one very soon.
The local community is always ready to collaborate with the school. Here I write down people who have visited and helped us in our collaborative activities:  grandparents, a vet, farmers, president of the agriculture local  cooperative,  the mayor, actors, nurses, top sport men old students...
We also have collaboration from teachers from different countries for our Language FEstival. Partners from ouside are always welcome in my class.

Collaboration is working together to achive a goodgoal. The school garden: we planted saffrom  bulbs together, we picked the saffron roses together in October and then,  t o obtain saffron, the stigmas must be handpicked together, to obtain the saffron , the famous spice. Handpicking the stigmas is a good moment to chat or sing the beautiful zarzuela son La rosa del azafrán, previously learnt in the music class.

A lot of teachers are not prepared  to do it. Planning PBL require for the teacher extra time, effort, creativity and an open mind. Some national curriculum are so rigid and old fashioned  that it is difficult to fix PBL in the teaching and learning process. The biggest challenges educators face are the willing for a good  training, the  rigidity of some educational systems and the feeling of fear to face new society  and ways of teaching and learning.

I like and use peer assesment quite often. I give them basic rubrics ( no ore than four) and I hand the written work they have doneout. After reviewing them they spend some minutes talking to the person that have checked their work about the corrections. Finally  they orally tell the others what they should improve according to the comments of their peers. They like this activity a lot. My students are 10 years old
