Notes On Seminar On Legal Aspects On Education
Measure of transformation:
Change in the student from the beginning to the end of the term
Change must be positive. It is for improvement.
Engagement:
The first day of class, students will look at you, and will ask themselves,
who is this creature who will enter our lives? You better give a good answer.
Ask yourself, what is it that you want to be as the teacher of the students.
When students look at a student, they see a composite of identities.
o If you do not open up to the students, they begin to see you as a
subject.
o If you open up with them, students appreciate it and it will be easier
for them to learn from you.
Another question, who is this learner? Is he or she someone who learns
more from a friendly or a strict teacher? What is the learning style of the
student?

emotions, or resistance: defend yourself and the school by explaining very
calmly but firmly. (Assumption: our side is defensible)

irritated parents and/or students
