  • Inclusive Teaching S01 E07 - Daniel Pink Regret and Teacher Wellbeing
    Dec 22 2024

    n today’s episode, we'll explore how Daniel Pink’s research on regret can be applied to enhance teacher well-being and job satisfaction. Pink, the author of The Power of Regret, emphasizes that regret, when viewed as a teacher rather than a source of shame, can fuel personal and professional growth12. He argues that suppressing regret is counterproductive, as regret offers valuable lessons that can guide us toward better decisions in the future2.For teachers, this means acknowledging and learning from past experiences, both positive and negative, to refine teaching strategies and build stronger relationships with students. Pink's research highlights four core regrets:●Foundation Regrets: These stem from neglecting our basic needs and values, such as health, finances, and education3. For teachers, foundation regrets could involve neglecting professional development or failing to prioritize self-care.●Boldness Regrets: These occur when we fail to take chances or pursue opportunities34. A teacher might regret not advocating for a new program or speaking up about a school policy.●Moral Regrets: These are rooted in actions that violate our ethical principles35. For a teacher, this could involve not addressing a student's needs or acting unfairly towards a colleague.●Connection Regrets: These arise from missed opportunities to connect with others35. Teachers might regret not reaching out to a struggling student or failing to build relationships with parents.Pink’s research, alongside Brené Brown's work on vulnerability, highlights the importance of creating a school culture where teachers feel safe to acknowledge and process their regrets67. By reframing regret as a learning opportunity and fostering open communication, school leaders can help teachers transform regret into a catalyst for growth, ultimately leading to greater teacher well-being and a more supportive learning environment for all.keep_pinSave to notecopy_allthumb_upthumb_down

  • Inclusive Teaching E05 Teaching Children Social Relationships
    Sep 13 2024

    This discussion from inclusiveteach.com offers eight strategies for teaching children the difference between friends and acquaintances. The Podcast details eight different approaches to helping children understand this distinction, including using visual tools like the Friendship Spectrum and Friendship Pyramid, role-playing scenarios, and creating "recipes" for making a friend versus an acquaintance. Additionally, the pod includes a six-week plan for an SEN class to teach friendship concepts, linking each week to a Preparing for Adulthood (PfA) strand. The overall goal is to equip educators with the tools they need to teach children about the nuanced world of social relationships.
