TEACHING EXPERIENCES
Teaching can be a demanding profession. There are times when students can
seem uninterested in learning and disruptive to the classroom environment.
There are plenty of studies and educational strategies for improving student
behavior. But personal experience may be the best way to show how to turn a
difficult student into a dedicated pupil. I had such and experience -- one where I
was able to help change a student with major behavioral issues into a learning
success story

The
experience
of the
“banking
concept,”
as learning of a new language a group of people gives a
satisfaction
termed by
of Freire,
great joy
is to share the knowledge with others
essentially an act that
hinders the intellectual
growth of students by
turning them into,
figuratively speaking,
comatose “receptors”
and “collectors” of
information that have
xiii
no real connection to
their lives.
