How to Teach Students Who Struggle with Self Control Misbehavior happens in the classroom. From time to time, it happens to every teacher or principal. You can get angry, or you can make progress. With this in mind, Dr. Emotional dysregulation impacts not only the child and you as the teacher. Dr. For example, instead of focusing on the “to do” list with misbehaving students, we have to concentrate on the “to be” list.

Så påverkas hjärnan av fysisk träning | Idrottsforskning Fysisk aktivitet påverkar inte bara kroppen utan även det mentala. Nu försöker forskare kartlägga vad som händer i hjärnan när vi tränar och bättre förstå effekterna av fysisk träning på hjärnan och dess funktioner. Människans överlevnad har i urminnes tider varit direkt beroende av vår förmåga att vara fysiskt aktiva. I modern tid har forskning visat hur konditionsträning bidrar till att minska risken för hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar, diabetes och andra sjukdomar som påverkar kroppen. De senaste två årtionden har studier även börjat påvisa effekter av konditionsträning på hjärnan och funktioner som är beroende av hjärnan, till exempel minnesfunktioner och välmående. Forskning om fysisk aktivitet och kognitiv funktion Det finns idag flera exempel på forskning som visat positiva effekter av fysisk aktivitet på olika kognitiva funktioner. Att vara fysiskt aktiv i medelåldern har också visat sig skydda mot kognitiv nedsättning och demens vid äldre åldrar (2). Expandera PHIBRA-projektet Referenser 1.
6 Ways to Build a Rapport With Students How do we get the best out of our students? By building a rapport with them. We hear that over and over again, but do we really know what that looks like or what that means? It’s not about preaching to them or trying to make them better people. Strategies for Getting to Know Your Students Better 1. Standing in the hall outside your door allows you to be seen and chat with students as they walk by. Standing in the hall also lets you welcome your kids to your room every day, and it’s wonderful for them to enter a place where someone is glad to see them. This is also the first step in making your class a safe and welcoming place. 2. I’m an early bird, so I open my room up for students before the school day to work on a computer, print things out, or do whatever they need. 3. You also have students who don’t participate in sports but may be in 4H or ride a skateboard—try to see these students in their element. 4. 5. And then I wait and watch, staying on the lookout for something positive. 6.
Are Your Students Engaged? Don’t Be So Sure By David Price It might be time we re-thought student engagement. Are we measuring the right things? Are we taking disengagement seriously enough? January is a time for resolutions. Perhaps educators, in 2014, need to resolve to better understand student engagement, challenge the myths around it, and make it a higher priority in their relationships with students. Let’s deal with the issue of the importance of engagement first. But for these findings to translate into actions, we have to re-think what we mean by engagement. Myth #1: “I can see when my students are engaged.” Don’t be so sure. “But why didn’t any of your teachers spot this?” He replied, “I learned how to fall asleep with my eyes open.” Students are learning to modify their behavior in class so that they appear to be engaged while, in reality, they’ve intellectually checked-out. Myth #2 : “They must be engaged — look at their test scores!” Myth #3 : “They must be engaged — they’re having fun.”
Un collège français remplace des heures de colle... par de la méditation ! Il y a quelques semaines , nous vous parlions d’une expérience éducative étonnante et originale : un collège américain avait remplacé les heures de colle… par des séances de méditation. Eh bien, bonne nouvelle, un établissement français a décidé de s’y mettre aussi ! Gros plan sur une initiative innovante au service des élèves et de l’enseignement. Les heures de colle n’ont jamais fait la preuve de leur totale efficacité. C’est ce qu’a fait la Robert W.Coleman Elementary school de Baltimore (USA). Depuis la mise en place de ce nouveau système, aucun élève n’a plus jamais été renvoyé du collège… Est-ce précisément ce succès qui a inspiré le collège Charles-de-Gaulle de Jeumont (Nord) ? À l’origine de cette nouveauté, Marie-Aude Lanniaux, professeur de français. « Le but, c’est d’amener du positif dans cette heure normalement dévolue à la sanction (…) J’ai remarqué que des élèves réfractaires à tout (l’apprentissage, l’autorité) se révélaient plutôt réceptifs. Pour aller plus loin :
Brain Breaks i klassrummet – Malmö delar – en didaktisk resurs Chicagoskolan Naperville Central High låter sina elever träna pulspass i tjugo minuter varje skoldag. Efter pulspassen läser eleverna teoretiska ämnen som historia och matte. Effekterna är slående. Med en Brain Break ger du eleverna en mental paus oftast i kombination med en pulshöjande aktivitet. Lektionerna i Brain Breaks är uppdelade i tre olika kategorier: small, medium och large. I modulen ”small” hittar du enklare övningar som du gärna kan börja med. När eleverna har fått in vanan och Brain Breaks börjar bli en del av klassrumskulturen kan du med fördel prova några övningar från ”medium”. Den tredje kategorin ”large” kräver mer trygghet, mer tid och mer puls och ger desto mer! När du ska beskriva Brain Breaks-övningarna för eleverna kan du gärna låta ett par av dina elever demonstrera hur man ska göra. Om någon elev inte vill delta för att de inte vill ta i någon annan eller kanske för att det känns obekvämt kan du be dem att stå upp och göra ett alternativ till övningen.
Gen Z At Work - 8 Reasons To Be Afraid Generation Z, born between 1995 and 2009, is entering the workplace Not only are there are more of them than any generation before, they also wield more influence. Gen Z have already shown their considerable power on college campuses and now these digital natives have started entering the workplace. I spent a fascinating evening recently in conversation with the brilliant social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, named by Prospect magazine as one of the world's 50 top thinkers. " Something has been going wrong on many college campuses in the last few years. Haidt believes the new problems on campus have their origins in three ideas that have become increasingly woven into childhood and education. + What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker + Always trust your feelings + Life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three "Great Untruths" he says "contradict basic psychological principles about well-being and run counter to ancient wisdom from many cultures. Connected from birth Sober 1.

Even a 10-Minute Walk May Be Good for the Brain Ten minutes of mild, almost languorous exercise can immediately alter how certain parts of the brain communicate and coordinate with one another and improve memory function, according to an encouraging new neurological study. The findings suggest that exercise does not need to be prolonged or intense to benefit the brain and that the effects can begin far more quickly than many of us might expect. We already know that exercise can change our brains and minds. The evidence is extensive and growing. Multiple studies with mice and rats have found that when the animals run on wheels or treadmills, they develop more new brain cells than if they remain sedentary. Many of the new cells are clustered in the hippocampus, a portion of the brain that is essential for memory creation and storage. The active animals also perform better on tests of learning and memory. Equivalent experiments examining brain tissue are not possible in people. So this exercise was very easy.
Why Children Aren't Behaving, And What You Can Do About It Three factors, she says, have contributed mightily to this crisis. First: Where, how and how much kids are allowed to play has changed. Second, their access to technology and social media has exploded. Finally, Lewis suggests, children today are too "unemployed." "They're not asked to do anything to contribute to a neighborhood or family or community," Lewis tells NPR in a recent interview. Below is more of that interview, edited for length and clarity. What sorts of tasks are children and parents prioritizing instead of household responsibilities? To be straight-A students and athletic superstars, gifted musicians and artists — which are all wonderful goals, but they are long-term and pretty narcissistic. It's part of the work of the family. Kids are so driven by what's fair and what's unfair. You also argue that play has changed dramatically. Two or three decades ago, children were roaming neighborhoods in mixed-age groups, playing pretty unsupervised or lightly supervised. Yes.
20 Strategies for Motivating Reluctant Learners Kathy Perez has decades of experience as a classroom educator, with training in special education and teaching English language learners. She also has a dynamic style. Sitting through her workshop presentation was like being a student in her classroom. Perez says when students are engaged, predicting answers, talking with one another and sharing with the class in ways that follow safe routines and practices, they not only achieve more but they also act out less. “If we don’t have their attention, what’s the point?” She’s a big proponent of brain breaks and getting kids moving around frequently during the day. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
