American Education 10/20

This week we talked about law and ethics dealing with class and how to motivate our students. The best suggestion they had was to motivate our students by complimenting them and when we need to help them with improvements we need to remember the 4 to 1 rule. The rule that says for ever negative comment we make we need to say 4 positive ones. Also we need to remember not to be to harsh with our negative comments but helpful. I feel like as a future teacher this is very important to remember because I want to install in children a desire to learn and encourage them to learn. I don't want to be the reason they hate school so much because I'm too negative. I also feel like now a days people should remember this because we live in such a pessimistic world. Also we talked about having enough material to cover all the information. That is pretty self explanatory and something we as teachers need to pay attention to.
