10.Name your thoughts and use the vocabulary on the VESS disc
11.Keep your expectations very high
12.Give a name to the thought that your students are generating without fear that the vocabulary
may sound too “complex”, if they are “considering perspectives”, celebrate how they are
“considering perspectives”.
13.Give a name to the emotions that they experience during the process, validate them and take
them into account permanently; these are the ones that determine if yours students are
learning or not.
The discipline that you teach does not matter, nor does the age of the students you work with.
All that advice will strengthen the VESS culture that you are building in your school.
A culture of thought is the necessary context to promote comprehension, to promote the
pleasure to learn and to promote fair, balanced, wise and aware of their purpose in life.
Enjoy the process. We wish you great success!
