1
I have spent my entire life
2
either at the schoolhouse on the way to the schoolhouse are talking about what happens in the schoolhouse.
3
Both my parents were educators.
4
My maternal grandparents were educators.
5
And for the past 40 years, I've done the same thing.
6
And so needless to say, over those years, I've had a chance to look at education reform from a lot of perspectives.
7
Some of those reforms have been good.
8
Some of them have been not so good.
9
And we know why kids drop out.
10
We know why kids don't learn.
11
It's either poverty low attendance negative peer influences, we know why.
12
But one of the things that we never discuss or we rarely discuss is the value and importance of human connection.
13
Relationships.
14
James Comer says that no significant learning can occur without a significant relationship.
15
George Washington Carver says all learning is understanding.
16
relationships.
17
Everyone in this room has been affected by a teacher or an adult.
18
For years, I have watched people teach, I have looked at the best and I've looked at some of the worst.
19
A colleague said to me one time, they don't pay me to like the kids.
20
They pay me to teach a lesson.
21
The kid should learn it.
22
I should teach it.
23
They should learn it case closed.
24
Well, I said to her,
25
You know kids don't learn from people they don't like.
26
She said, "That's just a bunch of hooey." And I said to her, "Well, your gear is gonna be long and arduous,
27
dear." Needless to say, it was.
28
Some people think that you can either Have it in you to build a relationship or you don't
29
I think Stephen Covey had the right idea.
30
He said you ought to just throw in a few simple things.
31
Like seeking first to understand as opposed to being understood.
32
Simple things like apologizing.
33
You ever thought about that?
34
Tell a kid you're sorry, they're in shock.
35
I taught a lesson once on ratios.
36
I'm not real good with math, but I was working on it.
37
And I got back and looked at that teacher edition.
38
I taught the whole lesson wrong.
39
So I came back to class the next day and I said, look guys, I need to apologize.
40
I taught the whole lesson wrong.
41
I'm so sorry.
42
I said, "That's okay, Ms. Pearson.
43
You were so excited.
44
We just let you go." I have had classes that were so low so academically deficient that I cried.
45
I wondered how am I going to take this group in nine months
46
from where they are to where they need to be.
47
And it was difficult.
48
It was awfully hard.
49
How do I raise the self -esteem of a child and his academic achievement at the same time?
50
One year I came up with a bright idea.
51
I told all my students, You were chosen.
52
to be in my class.
53
Because I am the best teacher and you are the best students, they put us all together so we could show everybody else how to do it.
54
One of the students said, "Really?" I said, "Really?" We have to show the other classes how to do it.
55
So when we walk down the hall, People will notice us, so you can't make noise.
56
You just have to strut.
57
And I gave them a saying to say, "I am somebody.
58
I was somebody when I came.
59
I'll be a better somebody when I leave.
60
I am powerful and I am strong.
61
I deserve the education that I get here.
62
I have things to do, people to impress and places to go." And I said, yeah!
63
You say it long enough,
64
it starts to be a part of you. And so...
65
I gave a quiz.
66
20 questions.
67
Student missed 18.
68
I put a plus two on his paper and a big smiley face. Is this an F?
69
I said, "Yes." He said, "Then why'd you put a smiley face?" I said, "Because you on the road." You got two right.
70
You didn't miss them all.
71
I said, "And when we review this, won't you do better?" He said, "Yes, ma 'am, I can do better.
72
You see, minus 18 sucks all the life out of you.
73
Plus two said, "I ain't all bad." For about four years,
74
I watched my mother "Take the time at recess to review." Go on home visits in the afternoon.
75
Buy combs and brushes and peanut butter
76
and crackers to put in a desk drawer for kids
77
that needed to eat and a washcloth and some soap for the kids who didn't smell so good.
78
See, it's hard to teach kids who stink.
79
And kids can be cruel.
80
And so she kept those things in her desk and Years later after she retired, I watched some of those same kids come through and say to her,
81
"You know, Miss Walker, you made a difference in my life." You made it work for me.
82
You made me feel like I was somebody when I knew I At the bottom, I wasn't.
83
I want you to just see what I've become and when my mama died two years ago at 92 I
84
There were so many former students at her funeral.
85
It brought tears to my eyes, not because she was gone, but because she left a legacy.
86
of relationships that could never disappear.
87
Can we stand to have more relationships?
88
Absolutely.
89
Will you like all your children?
90
Of course not.
91
And you know your toughest kids are never absent.
92
Never.
93
You won't like them all.
94
The tough ones show up for a reason.
95
It's the connection.
96
relationships, and while you won't like them all, the key is they can never, ever know it.
97
So teachers become great actors and great actresses, and we come to work when we don't feel like it, and we listen to policy that doesn't make sense, and we teach.
98
Anyway.
99
We teach anyway because that's what we do.
100
Teaching and learning should bring joy.
101
How powerful would our world be if we had kids who were not afraid to take risk, who were not afraid to think,
102
and who had a champion every child?
103
deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.
104
Is this job tough?
105
You betcha.
106
Oh God.
107
You betcha.
108
But it is not.
109
impossible.
110
We can do this.
111
We're educators.
112
We're born to make a difference.
113
Thank you so much.
114
Yeah.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
