How can teachers acknowledge students' feelings within the constraints of time in the classroom?

What is the significance of building rapport with students in managing their emotions?

How often does the speaker suggest addressing emotional outbursts in the classroom?

Transcripts
how to embed acknowledging their
feelings and effect in the lessons with
the term constraint that teachers have
yes
time constraint is always there in the
classroom I've been a teacher before so
I fully understand uh that
I mean it you don't have to do it for
every lesson okay you find that at the
moment when you
the
after the first few lessons right when
you have built a rapport with the
students right you find that all this
kind of negative effects and all these
things will will be less
right usually you only start in the
beginning where you have to do a lot of
rationalizing you have to you know do
some of this management and things like
that but you find that sometimes it's it
may only occur once you know uh in the
whole year the student just you know get
frustrated and then just bang the table
and so on you know yeah it may just
happen once and it depends on how you
manage the situation the rest of the
student will learn right that they
should not be doing that right although
the teacher didn't punish uh that person
the teacher explained to the person and
all this but other students will learn
so so I I had an experience before but
it's only like once or twice in my whole
teaching right uh life so sometimes it's
you know that some of these bad behavior
or negative uh of expression will show
up but we just become right I mean it
doesn't mean that once a student got bad
behavior then you show that you are the
teacher you know you got to power over
them or punishment for for that behavior
so we acknowledge that you know
sometimes can be the students are facing
a lot of frustration because they don't
know how to
to get to the answer or they don't know
you know the solution and they are angry
with themselves not not angry with you
as a teacher so we accept that right and
we try to make use of that moment to to
teach them how they can actually manage
their emotions
