Today I learned through an interesting and motivating experience how to work on resilience to face and overcome the challenges in our lives. I realized that learning only exists when there are safe and encouraging environments that motivate us and lead us to achieve results that are important to us. To do so, you need to have security, satisfaction and connection.

In the 2nd session of the Training, a challenge was proposed: the construction of a hat with natural elements. This was possible because I felt safe and there was a strong connection between the participants, Jordan and me. During moments of greater difficulty, there was support and motivation to complete the activity, which left me satisfied for having overcome another challenge. In this way, I learned that by promoting a safe environment and good connections with students, making them feel motivated and supported to overcome difficulties, creating conducive environments for good learning, our students will be resilient and capable of overcoming challenges.

To reach the top of the hill, you must take small steps. You need resilience and patience, supportive companions who give you a sense of security that you can manage. Today, while learning to make a basket, all of these qualities were developed. And the result was excellent. I’m very happy and grateful! 😍

Today we had a great challenge on our hands: building a hat with elements from nature. This activity was quite challenging, as I encountered some difficulties, but at the same time it was enriching to know that I was resilient and managed to complete the activity.  Motivation, commitment and resilience are the main bases of learning. To be able to evolve in our personal and professional lives, every human being needs security (having confidence in their abilities), satisfaction (liking and taking pleasure in what they do) and connection (empathy and good relationships with others to learn). These elements are fundamental to acquiring learning.
We have to be resilient to have the ability to overcome adverse situations and problems that arise in our lives.

Today in the second session of the Teachers First course, we were confronted with a challenge. How to be resilient and overcome a situation, challenge, or adversity that arises in our personal or professional life?

It was gratifying to realize that all adversities or challenges make us stronger and more confident, empower us with new skills, and make us better prepared for our future life. In fact, the entire teaching/learning process, all our work with students in the classroom can be seen as a way to make our students more resilient and capable of overcoming the challenges of their future lives.

And it was necessary to go to the “end of the world” (Pointe des Châteaux) to better understand that we, as teachers, have to be able to create an environment conducive to learning, a safe environment, one that connects with our students and satisfies their personal development needs.

I learned that I can be patient and finish the given task- to make a basket! Todays activity clearly reminded how helpless my students may feel and how I can change the experience for them.

Every moment of my lunch, the walk up the hill, the views, the ocean were like a mental hug, even the seaweed was beautiful 🙂 So grateful! Thank you!

Today I really enjoyed the group activity. I was a little scared when I found out that I was going to make a hat, but I was resilient and managed to finish the task.

I enjoyed meeting the person who taught us how to make the hat, he helped me a lot to overcome the difficulties I felt.

It was a great day with the hats and baskets being a lovely souvenir to take home. The scenery of the place is so beautiful and the beaches are fantastic. It's nice to relax and get in touch with nature.

Amazing day, thanks a lot..

Patience was my friend in the hopeless and frustration on my own despair.

I've solved the question of the sounds of frogs and cicadas.

Water is a wonderful relaxing element.

I am catching up now ;). The second day was honestly speaking exhausting in the morning and I could get an idea how my accounting or IT topics could turn out for my students :). We had a very nice - though bit late - lunch in an amazing atmosphere and my highlight was the top of the bay area with the cross overlooking the island of Guadeloupe. The swimming and snorkeling in the lagoon was a nice ending of the day - it did good for both body and mind :). Looking forward to the other part of the island tomorrow.

It was a really lovely day. Thank you all :)

I learned how my students probably often feel when given a difficult task. It could be very frustrating but with a support and great deal of help it becomes manageable.

And I am trying to pick up some basic French...little by little :)

Today we had very nice place in the shade, under the trees in front of the beautiful natural bech, to learn how to be a learner. It was not that suprising that my handycraft skills were not top notch, but it was once again aproved that once you get thing started, it starts to feel good and you get the feeling of confidence - I can do it and if I would do it again, I would be better..So it is a good reminder how important it is to get this feeling of powerty wich would totally go in the opposite direction if you would give up.

That makes me think about learners at school. It happens propably way too often that students are left with that bad feeling on them selves if we rush ahead in our classes and do not give the support and time for each invidual to get that "powerty" feeling. They might see that many others figured out things faster, teacher might move on to next subject/thing when she/he sees that most got this thing dialed. I think many who didn't figured out ontime learn how to give up easily next time too and they start hating school and get thenselves this identity in wich they get themselves protected inside - school sucks and I do not have to learn those stupid things they try to teach me . Inside they might be insecure and live life without confidence in their learning skills and thinking that they are stupid.

Long writing, but I think I learned something.
