Short Summary of the interview:
Christina says that she combines traditional teaching methods with audiovisual material and activities she crafts in class with her students. Also, she creates games to be played on the board and gaming tests from Kahoot or Nearpod.
She often assigns roles to students with learning difficulties in order to divert their energy to that and to also feel that they are important members of the team. For example, they erase the board, collect notebooks, give out photocopies.
She mentions a time when she had the students play a game in class, a pupil with learning difficulties was taken off the game because of the rules, but the other pupils did not let him stay out. They overrode the rules so that their classmate could participate again. She was proud of the way they children handled the situation and the respect they showed to the boy.
Most important statement
“Teachers should share experiences. Talk to each other and ask each other. Of course, there are seminars and courses, but it’s also necessary to learn from each other.”
