Video 4: How to Inspire Students to Own Their Learning (4/4)


Inspiring them to own thier education and thier life requires:
Metacognition

Metacognition 元认知能力:
Thinking about your thinking. It means to position your self above the problem and see it from a macro(meta) perspective.

"You do less and making them do more"

Twelve Conclusions I've Drawn About Learning
1. Students support what they help create (more pushing less pulling)
2. Students learn better when they expect to teach what they learn (pass on to someone else)
3. Students are incentivized if they know why a topic is relevant beforehand (talk more about why vs what)
4. Students engage more holistically when music is connected to the subject (Learn ABC through music)
5. Students retain more when they physically gesture what they learn (not just audio but visual as well)
6. Students grasp new subjects when teachers connect it to familiar subjects (analogy or metaphor)

Key Insights
Quotes
#1
Gen Z builds their social status through their social media presence.
"When I get grounded, and my phone is taken away. I always give my username and password to my friends, so they can login and keep up with everything going on" - 9th Grade Girl
#2
Gen Z experiences emotional distress when away from their electronic devises. (Because it's part of their identity)
"I think people my age would feel distressed without their phones because kids today based their lives around their phones. They keep all their of their music and pictures there, and they get news on it too." - 9th Grade Boy
#3
Gen Z constant connection to news and media is causing them to preemptively think about death, pain, suffering, as early as middle school.
"I think about the world's problem a lot when watching the news, but I just go play games or something to get away from it." - 8th Grade Boy
#4
Gen Z students play a lot of video games, and consider gaming culture to be a positive use of their free time.
"Sometimes my friends come to school in the morning after playing video games and tell me 'I have not slept all night'." - 8th Grade Girl
#5
Students are thinking about college earlier, but students from lower socioeconomic statuses are uncertain about their futures.
"My sister was lucky, because she was able to get a scholarship. But college is still hard for her because she has to pay for her books. I am hoping to get a scholarship through the Boys and Girls Club." - 7th Grade Girl

Video 3: How to Increase Resiliency in Students (3/4)


Our SCENE today
Our World is Full of:
Consequently, they can tend to Assume:
S – Speed
Slow is bad
C – Convenience
Hard is bad
E – Entertainment
Boring is bad
N – Nurture
(Too safely conscious)
Risk is bad
E – Entitlement
Labor is bad

Because our culture is taking away slow, hard, boring, risk and labor, therefore we need to intentionally build them in our students (build the soft skills).

Six Steps to Engage in the Process:
1. Set micro goals
2. Do something slightly different every six seconds
3. Focus on mini decisions and mini steps
4. Stimulate the "adult world" regularly (talk about how it's different in the real world)
5. Celebrate any and all visible progress (celebrate when hit milestone)
6. Lose the "lottery mindset" and see discipline as a bridge

The Statement that Invites Grit 刚毅,坚韧
"I am giving you this feedback because I have high expectations of you and I know you can reach them"
(The adults lack of belief in our students/young people)

Video 2: How to Connect With Today's Students? (2/4)


Moving from Traditional Pedagogy 教育学 to Transformational Pedagogy
Traditional
Transformational
1. Students are consumers
1. Students are creators
2. Teachers are commanders
2. Teachers are consultants
3. Fosters complacency
3. Fosters contribution

How Could We Approach This New Pedagogy?
1. Keep it short
2. Make it interactive
3. Feed curiosity (Create a dillema/Provide a problem to solve)
4. Say it visually (Metaphor/Images)
5. Give them ownership (Students support what they help create.)
6. Gamify 游戏化 your content (Collaboration/Competition)
7. Involve multiple senses
8. Offer a cause (Give them the why behind the what, what is the meaning)

The Shifts We Must Make (Internal & Personal Shifts)
1. Don't think control, think connect
2. Don't think inform, think interpret
3. Don't think what, think why (Get ther hearts not their heads)
4. Don't think impose (rules & regulations), think expose (to opportunity)
5. Don't think what, think why
6. Don't think prescriptive (指令性的), think descriptive (describe outcomme and refuse tell them steps then suddenly ownership rises)
7. Don't think cool, think real (Be who you are, be genuine)
7. Don't think lecture (theory), think lab (practical, experiment, have fun)

原生家庭与亲密关系


  • The 90-10 Principle: 跳出来,回头看(观察自己的感觉)
  • 心理感觉: 人可能不记得于你说过什么或做过什么,但记得你留下的心理感觉。
  • One Feeling, One Decision 小时候强烈的感受和经验,会影响大的时候看待事物和决定。
  • 在过去关系的伤害,可能会在亲密关系里加倍奉还。
  • 没有触动情感,别想会有改变。
  • The #1 Predictor of divorce: Habitual avoidance of conflict (“In pain alone” is a major factor that leads to failure in love relationship
  • Corrective Emotional Experience: 处于最脆弱的时候: 也是最容易导致更加的伤或更得到医治
Repetition Compulsion 强迫性的重复

  • 钢铁的例子(经过火=人生考验)
  • 直钢铁经过火后变软 - 弯了 - 凉了 - 变弯钢铁
  • 弯钢铁经过火后变软 - 可以再变直 / 更加弯
  • 作月例子: 作月没作好导致身体不好,身体不能在作月后调回来,但下一次作月时能容易地把身体调好
  • 分手快找伴侣例子: 分手后很快找伴侣会导致关系更糟糕(或更好),因为亲密关系就好像铁经过火后变软


The Healing Path
1. Courage to face the pain 不要像鸵鸟

2. Know your emotional wounds 没有经过悲伤的饶恕,只是很表面的

3. Expand perspective & re-evaluate via mature, adult point of view 小时候看到“大河”,大的时候再看的时候原来是“小沟渠”

4. Walk through via empathy: Corrective Emotional Experiences 5-4-3-2-1-1/2

5. Become wounded healer to love others

The Keys to love
1. Managing differences & conflicts

2. Intentionally strengthening relationship

3. Nurturing a healthy true self

When you angry, remember two things below:
1. 疏导: 以情感词汇表明感受
2. 问自己:我现在需要的是什么?

修复关系十大步骤

1. 表达善意: 我感谢/欣赏你的地方
2. 陈述事件情况
3. 以情感词汇表明感受
4. 我所需要的是...
5. 关系目标:我希望...
6. 我有责任/错的地方
7. 我的改变: 我下次可以改进的地方
8. 你的改变
9. 如果我们都改变...
10. 谢谢聆听/考虑

讲员理念

  • 受伤的心人人有
  • 倾听共情皆可学
  • 军事武器民用化
  • 服事百分之九九
Conclusion
To love is to bring out the best in each other
爱就是助人活出最美的生命
