What are your biggest challenges as a teacher? by Elizabeth Sauser-Monnig https://padlet.com/frenchfly4/qn20u77zl0k2 en-us 2017-09-07 14:11:04 UTC 2017-09-29 11:57:20 UTC hello@padlet.com Just being a young person...... nshoesmith https://padlet.com/frenchfly4/qn20u77zl0k2/wish/191438934 The stresses of students are impacting on the learning of the classroom (anxiety/mental health) and social media. Students need to be engaged with up to date methods and what they can relate to. I feel getting to students to see the bigger picture rather than the here and now. Plus within my subject areas students basic world knowledge is limited. ]]> 2017-09-26 19:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/frenchfly4/qn20u77zl0k2/wish/191438934 It's just a tech savvy world... https://padlet.com/frenchfly4/qn20u77zl0k2/wish/191463728 One of my biggest challenges as both a teacher and form tutor to Year 12 is gadgets and technology. Our post primary school enrolled iPads to all pupils and staff at a whole school level. However, technical difficulties and pupils access beyond restrictions set in school, enables pupils to access apps and tools that are inappropriate or not applicable for class lessons. Therefore, on occasions, they can become disruptive rather than being seen and used as an educational tool

Getting them interested in the rest of the world is another challenge. https://padlet.com/frenchfly4/qn20u77zl0k2/wish/191792681 2017-09-27 17:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/frenchfly4/qn20u77zl0k2/wish/191792681 The biggest challenge facing me, and us I think, is to make the pupils citizens of the world they're living in. It is to open their minds to what's going on around them, locally, and further. I really want them to share and communicate with other countries. And of course, all that in English ! https://padlet.com/frenchfly4/qn20u77zl0k2/wish/191865520 2017-09-27 20:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/frenchfly4/qn20u77zl0k2/wish/191865520 My biggest challenge is time! I am very passionate about new ideas and making things better but I sometimes can't find enough hours in the day!

MrsValeau https://padlet.com/frenchfly4/qn20u77zl0k2/wish/192245510 I guess one of my biggest challenges at the moment is to open my students minds to what is going on outside the classroom, about the way they behave, think and consume. I really think working on a project with a partner school would be a great opportunity for them to discover the extent of what they are able to do, to make them beleive in their capacities and skills both inside and outside the classroom.

It can be really nice for students to see they can use languages in real life and not just to pass an exam. However, it is not always easy because we may not have the time to prepare and put ideas into practice.]]> 2017-09-28 21:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/frenchfly4/qn20u77zl0k2/wish/192282689 https://padlet.com/frenchfly4/qn20u77zl0k2/wish/192405033 My biggest challenge is to show my pupils they can connect with real life people, exchange ideas, ways of life and discover other cultures, especially British culture . In my rural school, they are more likely to be isolated from the rest of the world that's why we all try to open their eyes on the world around.]]> 2017-09-29 11:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/frenchfly4/qn20u77zl0k2/wish/192405033
