I think the thing that really
jumped out at me was the idea of getting the students to share their schedules
with you during the day, and not just in school. This would entail having students write down
all the things that they are willing to share about their day, and how long
they believe it takes them to do it. It
gives you a chance to see what activities they are involved in on a regular
basis without making it seem forced or faked, and what things they seem to
devote more time to doing.
This really jumped out at me
because it was something that I never experienced in high school that I wish I
had. I believe it is a good way for
teachers to show they care without trying to make it too personal or awkward
for the student. I think it also helps
teachers see how much students truly do in their lives, and reminds us that,
while homework can be helpful sometimes, it isn’t the only thing that students
have to devote time to in their lives.
It also helps us realize that our students are human beings, and, like us, they do not want to be doing work at
all hours of the evening when all they really want to do is relax and
de-stress.
