- Fostering self esteem: Attention to outcomes

  • Bad label: Peer teaching to help student's meaning making process

Student1: …I would like to be gifted like them, (50% 50%), but both tests said I am right brained.

Student 2: ...The important thing is how you use your strengths

Student 1: But they don’t have any weaknesses

Student 2: Maybe they are just average and you are genius


  • Good label: student's bias

“In this one I have this intelligence as first and in that test I have another. I guess I am good at both”


- Fostering values: No time to care

Student 1 and Student 3 were talking while the teacher was giving a class assignment

Teacher: Did you finish the assignment?

Student 1: Sorry, he doesn’t know about the assignment of yesterday…I was showing him. I didn’t listen to you.

Teacher: Better concentrate on what is due today. I want everybody working on this today.

Student1: What is to be done?

Teacher: I am not going to repeat it. I need to go forward but it is all written on page 23. Read it to find out, ok? Leave doubts about yesterday for lateri

Student 1: Sorry.

Student 2: She (teacher) will be here correcting assignments after class today

Student3: I know but I am all messed up…I am moving again. I should not be in class today

Student 1: Yes, she(student 3) can not stay.
