  • Helping Our Shy Students

    20/09/2023 Duración: 12min

    Shyness is often misunderstood because it is not one emotion, but a mixture of fear, tension, apprehension, or embarrassment. Shy children seem to lack confidence and are self-conscious especially in new surroundings or when they are the center of attention. Changes in the environment and school pressures are also factors that affect a child’s demeanor. It is noteworthy that shyness is not necessarily a negative attribute. Many shy children exhibit an ability to please and think for themselves. Being reserved can also be a worthy personality trait. It is when shyness is severe that educators need to be concerned. Join Bryan as he and education writer Leah Davies (@Kellybearbooks) converse about students who are quiet thinkers and observers. She also manages http://www.kellybear.com What strategies help you in reaching your quiet and shy students? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mr-bryans-classroom/message

  • The Debt Free Teacher

    07/08/2023 Duración: 07min

     Many teachers are doing a variety of side hustles like tutoring, food delivery, or pet sitting. Why? Because many are trying to better their financial situation, especially with current high cost of living.   Others are working to pay off debt.  Is it worth it to be debt free? For many people the answer is yes.   For many, getting out of debt is one of the best things you can do for your financial well-being. The teaching profession is difficult enough to manage with all the various stresses we encounter everyday. Financial stress can add to that.     --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mr-bryans-classroom/message

It's simply getting rid of things you do not use or need, leaving an uncluttered, simple environment to where you can focus on things that really matter in your class.  Our days are tough enough as it is. Why not use the end of the year to get rid of things that are serving no real value to you or your students?
