3.     Group discussion –

 

o       All groups get the same situation card, which presents a problem. The groups will have to define the causes for the problem and find a solution to it.

o       The situation card:

“Natalie Hochman is a 28-year–old woman. She works as an English teacher in the “Ofakim public junior high”. Over the previous year, eight students were added to Natalie’s class after the budget was cut down. As a result, Natalie is now teaching 42 students. In Ofakim, most of the population is unemployed and are poorly educated. Therefore, most parents are not involved in their children education process and are more worried about every day life. There is a high rate of violence in the school and the faculty has problems of miscommunication, lack of cooperation and lack of mutual encouragement. Natalie is working five days a week, around six hours a day. There are a lot of discipline problems in all of Natalie’s classes and she does not get clear instructions from her principal about how she should deal with her students.”

 

4.     Whole class discussion –

o       Each group presents the causes to the problem and the other groups comment and give their opinions. “What do you think?” “Did you think of a different cause?”

o       Each group presents their solution and again the groups comment on it and say their ideas for solution. 

 

5.     Over head projector: primary causes of burnout

6.     Over head projector: number one cause of burnout

7.     Over head projector: strategies to combat burnout

Over head projector: conclusion

8.     Closure –

 

o       I chose to talk about this subject because I wanted to present an issue that is important and relevant to all of us as teachers and future teachers. I hope that you are coming out of this lesson with some tools to deal with the real life of the teacher.
