The video stated that if your students are bored, they will not be excited to learn new things. The same thing goes for if YOU are bored teaching. Students pick up their educator's energy, so if you are clearly not excited to teach a topic, they will not be excited to learn or engaged enough. Create your own routine, procedure, or transition that you can use in your current or future work with children. I have several things I do with my students now when I notice they are not feeling like learning anything. If I notice their energy or listening skills are not where they should be, I ask them what is on their minds. Then, I have them touch their heads and "grab the bad thoughts and feelings out." Then I have them throw those thoughts on the ground and stomp them into pieces. This always makes them feel heard and helps them relax and put thoughts that are bothering them out of their minds. Once they are more energetic and ready to learn, the whole environment is better. Explain how implementing these strategies in your learning environment will encourage positive and prosocial behavior. This encourages positive behavior by helping each student relax for a moment, take what is bothering them, and throw it to the side. This creates a much lighter mood and environment for everyone around them as well.
