Dar e Receber

No penúltimo encontro do PECPLI me surpreendi ouvir algumas de vocês afirmando que só recebem no PECLI e não oferecem nada. Como assim não oferecem nada? Vocês estão no PECPLI há tanto tempo e nesse tempo vocês nos deram:

• Seu precioso tempo!
• Suas histórias lindas e desafiadoras que nos fizeram refletir e avançar no nosso conhecimento sobre a profissão, sobre seus contextos.
• Seu companheirismo e amor com os colegas ao ouvi-los e oferecer empatia, acolhimento, troca, respeito e amor.
• Sabedoria que vocês  usam na sua prática.
• Um projeto que tem se sustentado com sua motivação, persistência, entusiasmo e motivação, com sua vontade de receber e dar conhecimento, com sua motivação para aprender!

Vocês acham isso pouco? Eu não acho. Todos nós crescemos, compartilhamos e desenvolvemos uns com  os outros.

Obrigada por compartilhar conosco seu tempo, sua confiança, sua prática, suas histórias, e seu amor pela profissão!

What makes a happy teacher?  

Cida Ferreira  

My intentions for this year:

1. for myself as a teacher: I intend to be happy in classes and I intend to learn English at CELIN, too.

2. for my students: I will teach my students to like English and to believe in themselves.

3. for PECPLI: I intend to be in all meetings and learn more with my colleagues.

What makes a happy teacher?

When my students like English, I feel happy. When I do my work correctly, I can also feel happy. When I can see successful students, I feel happy. When we like teaching, we feel happy. I love to be teacher!!! I love my students! I love to learn! So, I am very happy!!!

Deivy

My intentions for this year:

1. For myself: I intend to teach English to my students in a different way, with games, music and cartoons.

2. For my students: I’ll continue at CELIN. I intend to read more books in English and listening texts too.

3. For PECPLI: I want to express more English and interact more with my colleagues.

What is it to be a happy teacher?

I think that a happy teacher is who that, before entering the classroom, has got a smile on his / her face because he / she is enthusiastic about the job. A happy teacher is the one that achieves his / her goals in the classroom. But more important, a happy teacher is someone who makes the students passionate about the subject that s/he teaches. It is the teacher that is remembered by the students as someone that has a positive impact in their lives. I want to be this kind of teacher.

Anderson Ferreira Gonçalves

My intentions for this year.

For myself:

1) I will prepare myself better for my classes.

2) I will systematically work on my teaching skills.

3) I will be better teacher of basic level English. 

 For my students:

1) I want them to be more motivated than they are towards English.

2) I want them to have more fun with English.    

 For PECPLI:

1) I want PECPLI to be like a vaccine to my most serious problem as a teacher: lack of preparation. 

2) I want it to be a place for the sharing of ideas and experiences.

 What are my intentions for this year?     

 Eu já cheguei a fazer lista de coisas que gostaria de realizar na minha vida pessoal, (isso parece mais fácil porque é bem objetivo) . Eu posso dizer: pretendo que meus alunos gostem das aulas, pretendo que eles aprendam, pretendo que eles façam tudo o que for proposto, pretendo que eles se dediquem, pretendo.... . Tem tanta coisa que a gente deseja que aconteça. Sei que posso desejar muitas coisas isso não é o mais difícil. O difícil é enxergar a realidade e assim pensar em o que farei, como farei para que o que espero se realize. Isso também é complicado porque depende de mim e também do aluno. Para responder isso sem fantasiar seria preciso um planejamento real do que vou fazer e isso ainda não fiz.  Acho que temos que pensar por etapas. O que pretendo para o primeiro bimestre, para o segundo e assim por diante.   

Tenho que confessar que a minha cabeça ainda está pensando: será que vou continuar até o final do ano? Como você já sabe ainda não temos a certeza de nada. Fui contratada a princípio para trabalhar por 30 dias.

Acho que esse ano será um ano diferente e o que realmente pretendo é conseguir realizar o meu trabalho de forma alegre, carinhosa e responsável (se eu ficar até o final). Teremos alguns desafios com o tão desejável livro didático. Trabalhamos tanto tempo sem o livro que agora temos que aprender a trabalhar com ele.

No futuro acho que os alunos terão um ganho enorme na aprendizagem do inglês com o uso do livro, mas a realidade de agora é que o livro será bem puxado para eles.

Pensei em pedir para eles escreverem algo do tipo: Como era o ensino de língua inglesa na sua escola sem o livro didático e o que você espera que mude com ele?

2) What makes a happy teacher?

 O que me faz feliz é:

* Ver que meus alunos realmente aprenderam. (Estou podendo perceber isso melhor porque trabalhei com muitos deles no ano passado)

* Perceber ao final da aula que as estratégias que utilizei, o modo como organizei as minhas aulas facilitaram a aprendizagem do aluno;

* Quando os alunos participam, perguntam e se mostram interessados em saber mais;   

* É querer me aperfeiçoar, me preparar para a aula de forma a me sentir segura e confiante naquilo que estou fazendo;

* É poder fazer parte do PECPLI,  onde posso aprender e estar no meio de pessoas que de alguma forma se identificam uns com os outros.

If God helps me I’ll be more patient with my students this year. I’ll teach them things of life to make them understand they don’t have all the places in their lives; they have to respect other people to be clear for them their own limits.

What makes a happy teacher is to realize that students reached teacher’s aim. Sometimes they don’t learn what the teacher has taught but they learn useful things to their lives during the time they are in contact with the teachers.

Roseli

My intentions for this year:

- For myself: I hope to be a good teacher, with more patience and knowledge to pass to my students and to motivate them.

- For my students: I want to study and dedicate more.

- For PECPLI: I want to dedicate and I think that it is a good opportunity to speak English.

What makes a happy teacher?

A happy teacher is when the students show interest; make questions and participate of the classes. And show that English can keep in their mind.

Karla

My intentions:
For myself: I want to do more than simply offer grammar lessons and I want to keep my students interested in the learning process.
For my students: I intend to motivate them to the lessons and I hope we can have funny classes.
For PECPLI: I want to participate of all meetings and learn a lot with my colleagues and guests.
 
What makes a happy teacher: Keeping students motivated is one of the biggest challenges we face, so when I realize my students are interested in learning, when they ask questions, try to use the language I fell so happy. I think a happy teacher is someone who loves what he/she does and show it to his/her students.

What are my intentions for this year?

For myself as a teacher: I will take care of my healthy because I’ve been working a lot. This year I decided to work only in one school. Then, I’ll work less and with quality. I’ll have pleasure and involve more with my students.

For my learners: I will improve my knowledge day by day to make difference in my student’s life. I love English and I want to do my best for them. I asked my students to do a text talking about them: what they like, dislikes, what they wish for the future. I’m impressed because some of them described how much they love me, how I am important for them. Some of them said that I am the best teacher they’ve had in their lives. It makes me really happy.

For Pecpli: I learn and do everything to improve my life as a good teacher. Sometimes to be a teacher is difficult but when things get bad I know I have my group of teacher and certainly I am supposed to overcome these sad days.

I love Pecpli and I know how much I’ve been improving since I started to go to the meetings.

What makes a happy teacher?

A happy teacher helps her/his students to like what is being teaching. So I teach English and I make all them to like English. When I see their eyes shining for something I've said or I've done, it makes me happy. When they realize that they learned something and understand what it means, it makes me happy. So it makes me a happy teacher and I can also learn with them.
