Body language for primary school teachers

When I did my student teaching, I noticed something that bothered me. None of the teachers with whom I was working, or any of the others I have spoken, had all the awareness of the messages they send with their body language, or nonverbal. Now, this is not surprising in the sense that many people are not paying much attention to what they communicate at that level. But knowing the power of nonverbal communication, and the states and emotions to produce it in others, I thoughtit was a shame that not learned in a workshop or seminar after starting teaching.

In first grade I was diagnosed with ADD. I struggled in school, study hard in 1984 with a 1.46 GPA! Impossible not to know at the time when the physical location and physiology of a child, or how they use their body, while in the process of school could play a strong role in the learning process, but it does.

You see, body language, one-way street. Our body language, orSo we communicate with our physiology with others, how students are taught, it also indicates our nervous system. Just as we send other signals that are counterproductive, you can also find news of our nervous system, which we in the wrong direction.

Breathing is a good example. All they do, and why it is so automatic that rarely have the time to notice how deeply we breathe. But this has a huge impact on the amount ofOxygen, the brain receives, and how effectively you can concentrate. But this is only half.

The way in which a teacher has taken up the breathing and are imitated by the students with them all day. Italian researchers have found what they refer to as "mirror neurons" recently.

Mirror neurons are nerve cells in the brain that mimic the real, what they "see" the others do. This explains why we cry at a sad movie. It is not as simple as "it was sad:" It 's because we observedsomeone else who was sad, and if our mirror neurons imitate the sadness and facial expressions that go with him we also feel sadness.

Having learned to control my body language to be taken, and messages sent to myself, I then went back to school, magna cum laude study from Graceland University with a degree in education. My ability to send consistent messages to another has become more efficient as well.

Children need teachers who study their craft, getdo better in any year that students are learning in their care as much as possible. Learning to become the language of the body and take your skills to make a large contribution.
