starting the day
I have recently have been in front of a very stressed group. Listening to the group and try methods to calm everyone down, learning from this course: out line what they will cover that day, on the white board.
That's a great idea! I'll make sure to do this with my students as they go through Career Services and review the material that we'll be covering during our meetings!
Thanks.
I have worked in teaching for English Language Learners at a low-basic level. Since writing out detailed lists on the whiteboard would not be effective (since they are unlikely to be able to read it all), we help minimize stress and guide activities by pointing out the workbook being used. One book is for grammar, one is for students to write in, personal white boards are for practicing writing or for quizzes.
