Understanding each student’s strengths and interests provides teachers with a wealth of information for developing motivating learning activities and themes. The public recognition and regard for each student’s strengths and interests communicates to them that they are cared for and valued. In addition, information on strengths and interests can be used to facilitate students developing positive relationships with each other and learning to respect similarities and differences among people.

I just completed MaxKnowledge courses 104 &105.

Course 104 had some great tips on how to deal with the angry student. The bottom line is communication. Listen to what the student has to say and this will help to point us in the right direction on how to handle the situation. Course 105 deals with students who may be struggling and need some extra credit. It made some suggestions when to give extra credit and when not to. Some of the pointers were very helpful.
