These next 2 are from a new class I started. I open up my classroom 1 extra hour twice a week in the mornings. All students are wellcome if they want some extra help with any of my courses. It took 1 week of nagging and after that more and more take this opportunity, to come in and study some extra. Most of them does not want my help, they just want a nice place to sit and read some extra.
Is it your own initiative or is it something that the school offers general?
ReplyDeleteYes It was my idea, turned out great!
ReplyDeleteWhat response have you gotten from other teachers? Any others following your example? I believe is't a very generous and positive thing to offer the students!
DeleteWhat language do your students study in? Are they Swedish or International students?
ReplyDeleteAll Swedish, Beverley.
ReplyDeleteDo your students have any literacy issues? Are they able to solve problems without assistance?
ReplyDeleteSometimes Beverley, sometimes! Most of the times they do have the answer inside of them but of some strange reason they don´t believe in their own capacity?! They always ask for help first but when you sit down and start asking them questions, they almost always knows what to do!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good initiative!
