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.
