How do we give them advice without preaching?]]> 2020-01-15 01:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431658738 https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431658763 'Regarding respect'
- Top-down approach as part of the Asian culture
- Agree that students deserve the respect as individual beings
- But treating them as equals contradict the authority figure?

- Assumption that students are engaged but every class is different due to context

'Regarding Charisma'
- Every teacher has their own style
- If everyone follows a guideline, doesn't that cause teachers to be uniform in character 

'Regarding communication'
 - Yes don't preach/ moralise/ criticise but how do you convey your message across then?]]> 2020-01-15 01:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431658763 https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431659131 - It takes time to develop our professionalism -- if according to this definition 
- Definition seems quite rigid and black-and-white (for e.g. when to be fair and when to personalise/empathise) (e.g. students sleeping in class)
- Segment regarding cooperation is difficult because there is a lot of self-interest at that age. Also makes presumptions about students's states of mind (e.g. practicing empathy vs developing empathy)
- Assumes that you are your students are on the same page.]]> 2020-01-15 01:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431659131 https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431659186 a lot of obligations.. looks easy on paper but how do you live it out in a way that is personal to you]]> 2020-01-15 01:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431659186 https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431659335 - We agree with the definition.]]> 2020-01-15 01:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431659335 https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431659448 doing your job vs being good at it:

- Understandably, we must uphold these standards and values, however, it is difficult to meet all obligations realistically
-  These obligations seem to be limited to students only, but we think that teachers in Singapore have obligations beyond the classroom.
- How do we live these obligations if they seem contradictory to your own personal identity as a teacher?
- Using sarcasm actually works! Based on experience
- Being honest selectively.]]> 2020-01-15 01:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431659522 https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431660075 - don't put students on the defensive: defensiveness is a natural mechanism for a lot of secondary school students]]> 2020-01-15 01:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431660075 https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431660255 The part about communication “Be helpful and encouraging but don’t preach or moralize” is quite hypocritical because that is exactly what teachers are told to do in CCE lessons - e.g. no smoking, no doing drugs, etc. ]]> 2020-01-15 01:47:43 UTC https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431660255 https://padlet.com/stevelhp/TG5TMLS01/wish/431660639 student centred vs self care:
