As educators, we must be committed to helping our students realize their full potential and achieve success as a productive member of the community. We should hold ourselves to the\u00a0highest standards when it comes to healthy and constructive teaching methods.
\nWhat does this mean, exactly? Well, for starters, it is vital that we always encourage our students and never restrain them from their pursuit of learning. Learning happens in many different ways and each student has their own unique learning style.
\nA \u201cone size fits all\u201d approach to teaching is not adequate, and in many cases, can actually do more harm than good. Often teachers feel obligated to mold their students into a predetermined (and antiquated) model of achievement, undermining the unique and special qualities often exhibited by \u201cnon-traditional\u201d learners, which arguably, are most of the students in our classrooms.<\/p>\n
Creating and maintaining a healthy, inclusive learning environment is not an easy task! It requires us to have an extreme amount of patience and tolerance for the unexpected. We have to be willing to shift gears quickly and often in order to accommodate classroom dynamics, which can change on a daily basis. However, this does not mean teachers forgo setting boundaries and making their expectations of students clear. Obviously, students must respect classroom rules, codes of conduct, and behavior guidelines. But we must always be willing to investigate whether or not a student\u2019s lack of respect or inappropriate\u00a0 classroom behavior is a symptom of a bigger problem. If many students in a classroom are
\nexhibiting said behaviors, the teacher must ask herself, \u201cIs the method I am using to delinver my materials actually effective for the abilities of the students in this particular class?\u201d We may have to make adjustments to our teaching style. This is a fluid, ongoing process of self-evaluation.
\nStudents can shine when their efforts are recognized and praised. Our role is to help guide them as they navigate a complicated and challenging school environment. Our understanding of and respect for these complications and challenges can make all the difference in how students perceive their value and contribution to the classroom, and eventually, the greater community.<\/p>\n

\nComo educadores, debemos estar comprometidos a ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a alcanzar su m\u00e1ximo potencial y lograr el \u00e9xito como miembros productivos de nuestra comunidad. Debemos responsabilizarnos y mantenernos a nosotros mismos en los\u00a0 est\u00e1ndares m\u00e1s altos cuando se refiere a m\u00e9todos sanos y constructivos de la ense\u00f1anza.\u00a0 \u00bfQu\u00e9 significa esto exactamente? Pues, para empezar, es vital que siempre alentemos a nuestros estudiantes y nunca les restrinjamos su deseosa b\u00fasqueda para conseguir\u00a0conocimiento. El aprendizaje puede suceder de muchas diferentes maneras y cada estudiante tiene un \u00fanico estilo de aprendizaje.<\/p>\n
Un acercamiento donde se cree que un solo estilo es para todos, en muchos casos, puede hacer m\u00e1s da\u00f1o que bien. Con frecuencia, los maestros se sienten obligados a moldear a sus estudiantes a un modelo predeterminado de lo que es el \u00e9xito, socavando las habilidades \u00fanicas e irrepetibles que con frecuencia son exhibidas por estudiantes \u201cno tradicionales\u201d, quienes podr\u00edamos decir, son la mayor\u00eda de nuestros estudiantes.<\/p>\n
\u00a1Crear y mantener un ambiente de aprendizaje saludable e inclusivo no es una tarea f\u00e1cil!<\/p>\n
Requiere que tengamos una extrema cantidad de paciencia y tolerancia para lo inesperado. Nosotros tenemos que estar dispuestos a hacer cambios r\u00e1pidamente de forma rutinaria para poder acomodar el dinamismo de la clase, el cual puede cambiar d\u00eda a d\u00eda. Sin embargo esto no significa que nuestros maestros puedan prescindir de establecer l\u00edmites y hacer que sus expectativas con sus estudiantes sean claras. Obviamente, los estudiantes deben respetar las reglas del sal\u00f3n, c\u00f3digos de conducta y normas de comportamiento. Sin embargo, debemos siempre estar dispuestos a investigar si la falta de respeto de un estudiante, o su comportamiento inapropiado es un s\u00edntoma de un problema m\u00e1s grande. Si
\nmuchos estudiantes del sal\u00f3n de clases est\u00e1n presentando dichos comportamientos, el maestro deber\u00e1 preguntarse, \u201c\u00bfEs el m\u00e9todo que estoy utilizando para impartir mi material efectivo para las habilidades que tienen mis estudiantes en esta clase particular?\u201d Podr\u00edamos tener que hacer ajustes a nuestro estilo de ense\u00f1anza. La docencia es un proceso fluido y continuo de evaluarse a s\u00ed mismo. Los estudiantes pueden brillar cuando sus esfuerzos son reconocidos y celebrados. Nuestro papel es ayudarles mientras navegan en un ambiente escolar complicado y retador. Nuestro entendimiento y respeto por estas complicaciones y retos pueden hacer toda la diferencia en c\u00f3mo los estudiantes perciben el valor y contribuci\u00f3n de el sal\u00f3n y eventualmente a la comunidad entera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
