Subject: tentative wording
Dear Fellow teachers,
Those of you who attended the July ETAI conference in Jerusalem would know
that I presented there research conducted in Australia, Israel and China
(see article - http://www.etni.org/teachers/ramon/strategies.doc ).
Together with some Israeli and Chinese colleagues, I am using the research
to develop appropriate Professional Development sessions for teachers. While
in Israel, I have twice had the opportunity to conduct some in-service
sessions for English speaking staff in schools. They seemed well received so
I am hoping that my area of research and teaching seems relevant to your
needs. The research and in-service programs aim to assist staff who are
making too much use of counterproductive classroom discipline strategies
like yelling in anger, name-calling and sarcasm, and according to the
teachers surveyed, there are substantial numbers in both Australia and
Israel. Teachers who use any of these strategiesfind the experience
stressful, not particularly helpful, but hard to prevent.
The current stage of my investigations involve examining why teachers think
they, or colleagues, use counterproductive discipline strategies like
yelling in anger and sarcasm, and what sort of support would be required to
reduce the frequency of such teacher behaviour in schools.
While at ETAI 30 teachers completed my current survey
http://www.etni.org/teachers/ramon/questionnaire.doc
and I have been given permission to approach you via the ETNI website. I am
hoping you will devote approximately 10 minutes of your time to help move
the research forward and to help shape the nature of professional
development programs to be offered both in Israel and Australia.
All you would need to do is log in, download the questionnaire
http://www.etni.org/teachers/ramon/questionnaire.doc
and submit to r.lewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I thank you in advance. As an incentive I will return email a draft chapter
from a new book to be published in 2007, outlining a range of useful
management strategies. If you find the material and questionnaire of
interest please let your colleagues know.
Ray
