So it is very important that the trainer chooses his words carefully in order to be clear about the learner’s achievements, progress or areas of improvement (Gravells, 2013). Constructive feedback should be more descriptive instead of evaluative. Feedback, to be constructive, cannot be limited to an evaluative sentence like “Congratulation, you’ve passed”. Although the learner might be glad he has passed, it will not give them any information about what the learner has done correctly, how they have achieved the goals and objectives and what areas can they improve. Using descriptive feedback instead of evaluative it will give an opportunity for the learner to realise what he needs to adjust or improve to achieve the desired outcome (Gravells, 2013).
While it is essential to undertake a personal self assessment to help get over any hurdles which may have been encountered in such situations, often overcoming these obstacles will require external advice and general guidance which will help you achieve the goals in your practice which you are aiming for. It is therefore highly beneficial for you and the pupils you are assisting that you try and set aside time with the teacher you are operating with to undertake any evaluation and discussion about your practice if they have noted anything in particular in a pupil's response which may have been reflected as negative and how to achieve action preventing
It can leave the participant feeling bad with seemingly no way forward. Verbalising and exploring a learners thoughts can assist them gain a positive perspective of their own work and ability and will also help identify problem areas, therefore providing both the teacher and the learner with the ability to develop e.g. asking a learner where they think they did well and where they think they could improve. Some situations in which constructive feedback is required can include; ongoing performance discussions, providing specific performance pointers, following up on teaching discussions, providing correct guidance, providing a learner with consequences of their behaviour. Clues at when constructive feedback is needed can be when a learner asks for your opinion on how they are doing, this can be a 'cry for help' from a learner.
Self reflection is also knowing that I may need professional development in an area. This is needed so that I can be able to show unconditional positive regard, a non judgemental attitude and to be able to show empathy. Therefore it is important that I take time out to reflect in my performance and development. Self awareness can also be done in supervision or through peers. It helps to keep one’s mind fresh and with new ideas on how to deal with issues which I face during my sessions with a client.
• The feedback from others has development own knowledge, skills and understanding, feedback can be positive and negative but all feedback points to new to the ways and areas of improvement. Negative feedback must not be rejected but must be taken into account and be turned into something positive, but sometimes may undermine some confidence. The feedback from others points out best ways of doing things, what should not be done and get some pointers of approaching a problem from different angle. 3. know how a personal development plan can contribute to own learning and development 3.1 define the term personal development plan A personal development plan are goals that an individual makes to achieves in doing something specific. The personal development plan includes goals, awareness of strengths and weakness.
While using the five class rules, students learn to show empathy to others by not being disruptive to others or by taking turns. For example, “Rule #2: Raise your hands for permission to speak,” in this rule they can relate by putting themselves in someone else’s shoes. They wouldn’t appreciate someone interrupting them if they were talking. Or “Rule #3: respect your school, others, and yourself,” students learn to be more careful of what they, how they present themselves, and how they approach certain situations. All in all, learning to respect and treat “others just like you would want to be treated.” According to Laurence Steinberg (2011) she would describe this as “mutual role taking- In Selma’s theory, the stage of social perspective taking during which the young adolescent can be an objective third party and can see how the thoughts or actions of one person can affect those of another” (p. 79).
For example people who are afraid of situations they help them to change their thinking by counselling allow them to talk about their fear whilst using probe questions to give them room to open up more and make their own suggestions .Though this process can not remove their problem but it helps them to think in a positive way. It is normally used to overcome anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Example using a humanistic approach. to help someone, with learning disabilities, to live a more valuable life. This could be planning person centred support to empower the individual to manage their own
Other essential aspects to be considered include the following: Showing respect and taking the time to listen, making sure of clarity on key points, showing consideration for others and remembering personal issues, finally being effective in your communication and retaining a good sense of humour. Providing these strategies are followed it should ensure that the relationships that are developed in school are positive for all parties involved. It is vital that the ways in which we can develop this is given great thought as positive relationships are not something which should be left to chance. Different social, professional and cultural contexts might affect relationships and the way in which people communicate with one another. Adaptation in different situations to combat this is necessary, for example, in a meeting more formal language and clothing would be appropriate.
Misbehavior is less likely to recur if a student makes a commitment to avoid the action and to engage in more desirable alternative behaviors.”(Kizlik, 2012). I believe that I have a more to learn about classroom management and policy, especially dealing with punishment and consequences. The use of praise in my classroom management style might be good. In the use and way I praise students matched the use of best practices of more seasoned professionals. I have linked praised with student performance and instruction.
Trained teachers will automatically know the types of measures to use incase a student exhibits a certain undesirable behavior. These measures will ensure that students behave in an appropriate manner and their performance is excellent. They will also make sure that the relationship and interaction between them and their students is healthy therefore building a favorable learning environment. They should be in a favorable condition to notice various problems that individual students go through, advice, keep close watch and offer valid solutions. For a school to be the best place to mould good behavior and emotions, it needs to have consistent rules and consequences in case an individual breaks them.
