psychologist, author and blogger Glennon Doyle Melton wrote a post about teacher Svoge son Chase, which is used in working with children an unusual method of test. C the help of the teacher determines which of the children need to pay attention to and help build relationships with their peers.
< Website has decided to tell you the details of this curious method.
"The teacher Chase looking lonely children. Those who have difficulty finding a common language with others. And she instantly knows who suffer from mockery classmates and who is behind it, "- said Glennon Doyle Melton
. Every Friday, the teacher asks his students to get a piece of paper and write down the names of four children, c whom they would like to sit next week. At the same time children know that their requests can not always be met. It also asks the children to write the name of a student who has distinguished features of the relation to the other.
All leaves are carefully studying it and immediately understand which of the children is never mentioned in the lists; who found it difficult to name even a single name; who are so invisible that it does not say, and who had a lot of friends in the last week and a single -. this
The teacher is not trying to make some sort of a special performance plan or transform children geeks. She just makes sure that the children did not cease to communicate in the classroom and helps to adapt to those who need it. This is reminiscent of the X-ray beam: see what is hidden under the surface, in the hearts of children. Sometimes the child is particularly in need of adult help, to make friends with other children, to ask about something, to learn to give and receive gifts.
This test also notes constrains the negative manifestations of children. Every teacher knows that ridicule and bullying usually occur out of sight. And the children, c that is happening, too afraid to talk about it. But the truth can tread on those pieces of paper.
The teacher started to work on the system after I saw the news about the massacre in the "Columbine" school. According to her, if she saw the light and realized where the hidden roots of already manifested aggression and violence: the inner loneliness of children and their desire to be noticed at any cost. That is why the teacher has decided to start a fight with this in place - just a lesson in mathematics. After 10 years she had saved so many lives. With these lists, it helps children to avoid internal isolation and separation and establishes relationships between them based on the understanding and friendship.
