is part of the whole called by us ‘universe' - a part limited in time and space. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." Albert Einstein If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” Dalai Lama “I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives. I’m not talking about the short-term gratification of pleasures like sex, drugs or gambling (though I’m not knocking them), but something that will bring true and lasting happiness. The kind that sticks.” Dalai Lama Ken Klieman [email protected] 650-533-9806

an inclusive mindset in teachers and students foster community building? UG #2 What is the connection between mirror neurons and rapport? UG #3 How does building rapport affect student achievement?

How does developing an inclusive mindset in teachers and students foster community building? UG #3 How does building rapport affect student achievement? • Doesn’t care about lesson – feels incompetent before they try – directly related to a litany of bad experiences doing the same task • Trying to process through other problems • Hormones – the student truly doesn’t know why they are acting out • Most importantly – DOESN’T CONNECT WITH YOU. You need to build in rapport.
other children. • Although he is more distracted being next to his close friends in your class, he is so popular that it seems as if everyone is his friend. This would be a losing battle. You know that it would only be a matter of minutes before he pulled some other student off-task. This is a good start, but how does it address the core problem that he doesn’t care about you or your classroom? The fundamental reality is that you don’t have a connection with Alex. Isolating him will not improve his perspective on that reality.
in class. • Do you really want to assign more work to a student who is obviously behind? Yes, there is a slim possibility he might comply, but then what? Most likely, he will become resentful and even more vengeful. You can’t force someone to like being in your room. And he doesn’t see the value in being with you.
compliant. • Alex should be held accountable for wasting your time. But how well do detentions work anyway? In the short term— fantastic. As a die-hard policy—not so much. Alex may change. Will you serve the detentions with him? Do you have the time for that? Will you end up being a “bean counter” chalking up each of his infractions to document the need for a detention? What outlandish behavior will qualify as detention-worthy? How much more time will he steal from your other students while you fill in the paperwork to process and document his detentions?
time he acts out. • If you take this route, the power will reside with an administrator and not with you. You know he will be sent back to your class eventually. Instead, how do you make him want to be in your room?
class. • This is a very viable option. Alex cares deeply about his image. However, if you confront him in front of her peers, you are putting your fledgling reputation up against his well-developed social standing. This may work out for the class period, but a long-term fix is questionable at best. How would you fare in a test of wills with him? Is this really the role model you want to be? “I’m bigger than you and I’ m an adult, therefore you have to do what I say.” How will embarrassing him make him want to be in your room more?
an inclusive mindset in teachers and students foster community building? UG #2 What is the connection between mirror neurons and rapport? UG #3 How does building rapport affect student achievement? • Listen and look for shared experiences or circumstances • Use Humor. Laughing together creates harmony. • • Body Language. Mirror their body-language if appropriate. • Empathize. Remember rapport is all about finding similarities and ‘being on the same wavelength’. http://www.skillsyouneed.com/ips/rapport.html#ixzz39oUbePpQ
Listening • Smile. Combined with nods of the head, smiles can be powerful in affirming that messages are being listened to and understood. • Eye Contact. Eye contact can however be intimidating, especially for more shy speakers. • Posture. The attentive listener tends to lean slightly forward or sideways whilst sitting. • Mirroring. Matching another person’s body language helps to build rapport. http://www.skillsyouneed.com
pick a talker – you know who you are. • Please discuss the most memorable slide you have seen so far. • Try to be mindful of body language • Focus on Rapport – matching your partner’s body language • Mess around – please have fun with this • Switch half-way through
Listening • Positive Reinforcement. Casual and frequent use of words and phrases, such as: ‘very good’, ‘yes’ or ‘indeed’ can become irritating to the speaker. It is usually better to elaborate and explain why you are agreeing with a certain point. • Remembering. Remembering a few key points, or even the name of the speaker, reinforces relationship building. • Questioning. Ask relevant questions and/or making statements that build or help to clarify what the speaker has said. http://www.skillsyouneed.com
or paraphrasing. • • Clarification. Open-ended questions are key here. • Summarization. Reiterating the main points of the received message in a logical and clear way, giving the speaker chance to correct if necessary. http://www.skillsyouneed.com
