Not Everyone High On Legalizing Pot

As California follows along with other states legalizing recreational marijuana, there’s at least one local voice trying to be heard through the thickening smoke.

Lynn Fox, Ph.D, founder of Powerful Teachers and Parents, has been waging her own war against marijuana for decades. With society deeming the drug more acceptable and legalization sweeping the nation, she feels her message is more urgent than ever.

“It’s a billion-dollar industry,” says Dr. Fox. “And all of this is about the money.”

PART 2:“Giving Students Effective Feedback & Using Proximity in the Classroom”

 

Effective Feedback & Proximity (TESA# 2 & 3).

This video focuses on the second half of TV SPECIAL #1.

This program provides teachers with various ways to provide more effective feedback to all students, especially low achievers. Dr. Fox and Sandra Elliot discuss how teachers can deliver feedback as to whether student responses are correct or incorrect, and do it in such a way that students are clearer about what needs to be improved, while also being more motivated to do the task.

Proximity deals with personal regard or ways to develop more positive relationships between teachers and students. A teacher who uses proximity is simply getting closer than one arm's distance from students. Strategies are suggested such as using the "T Formation" to make sure that, at all times, the teacher is facing her/his students and moving around the classroom.
