My Toolbox 🛠
🤔⁉️ I often ask myself about my impact on this world. It's a big question, and many might think it's even presumptuous. However, it's a question everyone should ask themselves: What is their role in this world?
🤩 Today, I want to share with you the final session of the course I teach at the Hebraica University in Mexico - Differentiated instruction in Hebrew as an Additional Language. After a series of engaging sessions throughout the semester, we concluded the course with the metaphor of a toolbox🧰.
🗨️ The question I asked was: What tool did you gain during the course, and how did it help you improve your teaching?
🔩🪛🪚 The tools were many, and each one received unique and significant meaning.
🧰 The delightful conclusions:
💙 We acquired tools that we can use in the classroom to enrich and enhance the teaching and learning experience, empower students, diversify lessons, clarify the material, provide personalized or group responses, and overall, become better teachers.
💙 Thank you for the invested, educational, and professional course. You are outstanding and captivating, delivering teaching at the highest level.
💙 We learned about processes that integrate technology in language teaching, promoting the acquisition of an additional language.
💙 My university coach noted that I have already acquired many tools from the course and brought them into the classroom.
💙 The tools are practical and flexible, suitable for the needs of both students and teachers.
💙 Thank you for listening to our needs.
💙 The content of the toolbox greatly depends on how we use the tools. It's important to carefully choose the tools that serve us and keep them all just in case...
🥰 I was very moved to hear that my course provided the students with tools, opened their minds, and most importantly, that I managed to address each of their needs—those at the beginning of their journey, those who started with a half-empty toolbox, and those who have been adding tools to their collection for many years.
⚖️ Providing appropriate responses to everyone requires a lot of thought and deep understanding of the students. At the end of the session, the students emphasized that I not only talk about the theory of differentiated Instruction but also demonstrate it during the sessions and address the differences between the "students in the classroom."
I finished with a full ❤️ and a clear understanding that what I sow in new teachers and even in veteran teachers gains significance in their work and impacts future generations. 💐
💌 Thank you very much, Dafna Gittler (Saslavsky), for insisting that I teach this course. I am honored!
