Today's post is not for you, Prof, ni para ti, father or mother. Today's post is for your children or students. Good, maybe it's also for some dads, but only for some 😉

One of the main characteristics of the methodology that I use in iKidz, is that the students have class only one hour a week. Something fundamental that I try to instill in my students and their parents, is that if they only come an hour a week it is because they have to review a little every day, in this way learning will be easier and more bearable.

What's the score? The result is that indeed some work throughout the week as I have indicated and they evolve a lot, but others ... others simply believe that by sitting for an hour in my classes they are already learning.

Exceptional or mediocre, What kind of teacher are you?

Portada_Exceptional teachers_ikidz_we are growing

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to attend the event Grandes Profes, and I have to say that, each and every one of the presentations made me reflect on my role as a teacher and the work I do.

It is the second year that I attend this event, and I have realized that their main objective is not to teach us something in particular, Its main objective is to make us reflect and give us a “kick” of energy to continue fighting for a profession that is less and less valued.

There are many topics that were discussed throughout the day, but the central theme was the ATTITUDE. The attitude that makes some teachers better than others. The ENERGY that makes the difference between exceptional and mediocre teachers, or "less good" as I prefer to say.

But, then, What Makes One Teacher Better Than Another? What has made César Bona one of the best teachers in the world? Is your knowledge? Is your experience?
