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.

Marijuana is now often considered a "hard drug" by many experts because of its extreme potency in various forms. However Marijuana (THC) is usually called a Gateway drug that leads to other drug use such as opioids and heroin. One reason is that MJ works on the same receptor site systems in the brain as heroin. Addiction leads to more tolerance to a drug and the user needs more and stronger to get the same results/highs.

Average start of use is 12.4 years that can lead to *6-8 IQ point loss, *1 out of 6 heavy-using teens becoming addicted,* increased traffic fatalities, and vulnerability to *depression, psychosis, schizophrenia & other major health issues and even suicide. We must prevent this from happening to our children.
* The very dangerousextremely elevated THC level of Pot today (20% to 95% in concentrates) is not the Pot of the 1970s-1990s that had much lower THC levels (1-2%). This is vital information for all parents, grandparents and teachers.
