Give students honest praise teachers told at development day By Stephanie Levesque Children who are continually told they are no good end up .believing it, a professor of psychology says. "Once the message gets laid down, it's tough to change," said John Theis, a pro- fessor at St. Jerome's, University in Waterloo. He wastthe key note speaker at the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic separate school board's professional development day in St. Marys. The professor told the teachers to go out and give honest praise to the students poin- ting out that children can identify genuine praise. The professor's talk was on "self- esteem", but he saw it as a chance to tell teachers of the role they play in forming the self-esteem of students. "Show a minimal amount of caring," said Mr. Theis. He admitted that it could be tough to be empathetic and caring to 35 children a day, especially when teachers may have their own worries or concerns at home. "But doesn't it make sense to try," he said. Another speaker at the day-Iong event was Ed Krupica of Hamilton: He conducted a workshop on teaching children from one parent families. As Catholics, he said the teachers have to provide respect, solidarity, understanding and practical help for children from one parent families. With Mt. Krupica were John Dubeau and Teresa Goodall, both the head of one parent families. The two talked about their per- sonal divorce experience and how the school fit in. Mr. llnbean aairt when a family is in the middle of a divorce, or even afterwards, the only thing that remains stable for the children is school. He mentioned some of the experiences his children have gone through in the hopes that the teachers wouldn't repeat them. Once, a teacher had the children whose parents were divorced, raise their hands. Then the teacher asked the students whose parents had an annulment to keep their hands up. The children were left with the impression that unless their parents had an annulment they weren't good Catholics, which is wrong said, Mr. Debeau. The family studies co-ordinator for the local separate school board, Ron Gladding said a lot of teachers attended that workshop and there will probably be more of its kind in future professional develop- ment days.
