The best moment is when I heard about how a teacher can keep calm when she has a child that is challenging. It really showed me that teachers are able to control their tempers. And also how they can use various strategies to control both their temper as well as the learners behaviour.
To me discipline is a very powerful thing. It needs a solid, concrete strategy. I think I have a very long way to go to establish solid discipline grounds/standards, because I struggle a bit with appropriate srategies at the moment. So it was very informative to hear about how different teachers deal with discipline and what strategies might be useful and which might not be of use. Hearing other peoples backgrounds was also of interest because you get to relate with them in a way, as you might find that the challenges they had are similar to the challenges you now have as an intern. Hearing where they came from, and how well they are coping now makes us think positively about the challenges that we face but can overcome in order to become the best teachers ever!
