The teacher who wasn't there


Dear reader,

One of my colleagues noted that I am able to control my class well. While I think he overrates me, I will share one tip here:

Proximity
Even though students know that we teachers are there for them, they actually want to see us physically there.

One way I do this is that for my CCA, I with my students in the same classroom during their training. In this way, I am instantly accessible to my cadets and officers for information.

This is a display of care and investment to the students. Thus in return, they are more willing to listen. Or at least I hope so.

Thanks for listening!
