Give them a student who answers them. As we saw in the F.A.T City video, asking your students rhetorical questions can be detrimental to how they respond in the classroom. As teachers, We should make it a point to uplift and teach rather than to tear down and demean. ]]> 2018-09-25 19:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/christinad4284/l7u7xwfhzn5n/wish/285751581 christinad4284 https://padlet.com/christinad4284/l7u7xwfhzn5n/wish/285754009 "If I can't see the teacher, the teacher can't see me" This brought up a very good point. We insist that ids look at us when we yell at them however the very first human reaction to anxiety is to turn away from the source of the anxiety. It is important that we take the time to understand the anxiety of the child rather than just demand that they push through it]]> 2018-09-25 19:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/christinad4284/l7u7xwfhzn5n/wish/285754009 christinad4284 https://padlet.com/christinad4284/l7u7xwfhzn5n/wish/285758607 So it takes children with learning disabilities so much longer to process than children without. So often times a fast paced classroom will discourage the child from answering the question. I really enjoyed the explanation he gave as a way to help these children. That the teacher would not call on the child unless he/she was standing in front of the child's desk and no other student knows about this but the student and the teacher. ]]> 2018-09-25 19:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/christinad4284/l7u7xwfhzn5n/wish/285758607 christinad4284 https://padlet.com/christinad4284/l7u7xwfhzn5n/wish/285760883 I also liked the way he reiterated that good answers deserve good reinforcement rather than only pointing out the bad answers that the children may give because that takes away that child's sense of "risk" The child shouldn't be afraid to fail in the classroom because they should know that even if it is wrong, they will not be ridiculed. ]]> 2018-09-25 19:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/christinad4284/l7u7xwfhzn5n/wish/285760883 christinad4284 https://padlet.com/christinad4284/l7u7xwfhzn5n/wish/285762261 1. Look harder
2. Bribe a child to get the answer right
3. Take things away if they get it wrong
Although these all look completely crazy, we do these things every single day! And then we say the reason the child cannot tell me the answer is because the child is not motivated or trying hard enough! I enjoyed his explanation of this and will keep it consciously in the front of my mind. ]]> 2018-09-25 19:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/christinad4284/l7u7xwfhzn5n/wish/285762261 christinad4284 https://padlet.com/christinad4284/l7u7xwfhzn5n/wish/285764736 Another excellent point that the speaker brought up was how most students with learning disabilities will get in trouble for things and truly not know what it is that they have done wrong. They will be put down by the teacher for doing/saying things that they genuinely thought or suspected was correct. So we as teachers must take the time to recognize how we view different situations to make sure that we are not punishing a child for not seeing things or assignments the exact way we may see them. At times, we have to work in meeting the child halfway. Making sure that they are understood as we make sue they understand the material. ]]> 2018-09-25 19:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/christinad4284/l7u7xwfhzn5n/wish/285764736
