Learning goals:
LO 1: Building relationships with children,
families and colleagues.
Essential Questions:
How building a relationship with children,
families and colleagues will help you to be a
future teacher?
Description of Activities:
1. Circle Time activity:
Let students sit in the circle and pass the teddy-bear around and talk about
their school memory. (What was the school like for you? Best memory/worst
memory? Who was your best teacher? And why or what she did to be your
best teacher?).
2. Brainstorming:
From the teaching practice observations, students (in pairs) will create a mind
map of some strategies that their mentor school teachers used to build the
relationship with children, families and colleagues. Then present it.
3. Short Prezi presentation about building a relationship with children, families
and colleagues. From the presentation, students can add the missing points in
their mind map if they miss anything. Finally, they will post their mind maps as a
blog in BB9 (BlackBoard).
Assessment:
Interview (by use recording app) with the mentor school teacher about how she builds a relationship with children, families and
colleagues.
