Following the September 21st Positive Discipline Training Courses: How to become a Buddhist teacher (1), the teachers benefited a lot from the practical practice of a month or so with clear direction in their work.
On November 2nd, the positive disciplinary lecturer Jin Junhong came to our school to continue the series of courses: how to become a Buddhist teacher (2)
Looking back on this training, we also harvested very practical positive discipline tools under the leadership of Ms. Jin
The brain in the palm: we should learn and understand the structure of human brain, accepting that everyone has a brain cover open from the principle of structural recognition. When we notice that the other’s brain cover is open, we should take a calm and gentle way to guide ourselves and others to use the correct way to solve the problem.
Four steps in emotional management: awareness, acceptance, suspension, expression or listening. Emotions can’t be controlled. Only by adjusting the emotions through the above links can we calmly accept the problems of children and ourselves to find the most effective methods.
Suspension Zone: when someone’s emotion is about to collapse, there is an area where you can protect yourself. For example, children can have such an area in the classroom and name it by themselves, they can do what they like and what is suitable for doing in the classroom. Teachers can also have their own zone, do what they like and what is suitable for doing in school, to calm down until they can calmly handle things.
Learn to take care of yourself: as a teacher, you must face all kinds of work and stress, you should take a positive attitude towards the problem, take care of yourself, and be a healthy and upward teacher.
Angry Choice Wheel: Allowing each child to make their own selection rounds to resolve their emotions.
THT teachers help each other to solve problems: In the face of difficult student problems, you can seek help from multiple teachers, analyze the reasons behind the behavior, and get some effective help and suggestions
After such a review, the most profound experience from these two trainings for the teachers is that as long as they are on the way of learning, the method will always be more than the problem; under the guidance of the teacher and the mutual help of the companions, they will not be alone, but will be helped each other.
