Why Tough Teachers Get Good Results

modelling silence

I recall one suggestion of silencing the class for a good five minutes. I’ve used this a couple of times and found it a great technique when you slip up and the class goes nuts.

boundaries

Boundaries are a tangible expression of love for our students. They keep everyone safe and free to truly learn and grow.

هیچی

* یه نفر به شخصی گفت : این‌بار سنگین را برایم حمل کن! 

طرف پرسید چقدر مزد می‌دهی؟

* یارو جواب داد «هیچی». 

وقتی بار را به مقصد رساند به یارو گفت حالا همان هیچی را بده! 

* یارو بهش گفت؛ گوشه آن فرش را بالا بزن، چه می‌بینی؟

 طرف گفت؛ هیچی! 

* یارو گفت؛ خب! همان را بردار و برو!

7 Colours of the Rainbow

Have you ever seen a rainbow? Sometimes when the sun is shining and it is rainy somewhere at the same time, you can see a rainbow. It's a huge arch of colours in the sky. It's caused by the light from the sun being broken up by water droplets in the atmosphere. The sun's light is "white", but the water droplets break it up into seven different colours, always in this order:

RED

ORANGE

YELLOW

GREEN

BLUE

INDIGO

VIOLET

I

I create, I share, I teach, I mentor and I write because it is what my soul tells me to do. I don’t consider myself to be perfect or complete, but I do consider myself to be determined: a warrior, voyager and healer in progress. Like you I make mistakes, I feel vulnerable and fragile - but I work to accept these and hope to help you do the same, to reclaim that powerful, earthshaking wholeness deep inside.
