I enjoyed during the course. I learnt a important aspect of classroom i.e knowing and appreciating character strength of students. I will practice this to motivate students.
Excellent course that really helped me think about my teaching and my interaction with my students. I am more aware of the language that I use and the tone that I set.
This course gives great examples related to how to integrate character development through teacher feedback in a positive, respective and encouraging manner that develops resiliency and self-efficacy.
