Introductory speech Change in Thinking :: essays research papers

Change in thinking This is very long ago I worked as a part time teacher for 3 months back home in India. When I was doing my undergrad .This was part of a project work in the course work. There were 20 odd students in the class. But they are not at all good at studies. They used to skip the classes, use fowl language, never showed any kind of interest in listening to teachers or respecting them and what not. The principal of the school is fed up with their behavior and decided he is going to fail all the students. Here I was appointed as a mathematics teacher. I went as extra mile and requested the principal to give me a month, to see if I can bring any change in the students. The principal did accept my request. To start with it was very tough and challenging assignment. I did plan well and here how I executed the plan †¦ It starts this way I went to the class and spoke to the students Here is the deal I will help you out in passing your exams but you have to do what I will tell you guys to do. First week: You have to attend all the classes I am going to give D grade if you just attend the classes. Students felt good about the deal and started attending the classes. Second week: Now you can copy in the exams and I am going to give C grade. Students liked the deal. They did that. Third week: I said now I am going to give B grade if you do not copy from others, just write what you know. This time students liked it better. It motivated the students to participate in the class and started involving and showed lot of interest. Slowly but steadily they started doing well. After a month the principle decided to come to the class and check the performance of the students. Now we had one more deal, whenever I ask you a question (tables) whoever knows the answer raises your right hand. Whoever don’t know raise your left hand. And I am going to ask the person who has raised his right hand. The day has come, the principle came.
