10. Know Thy Impact
When teachers demonstrate positive dispositions to learn they will have a powerful influence of the children they teach.
Be aware: be explicit when we are modelling any of the dispositions. The children may need to see them in action to help them formulate:
What does it sound like?
What does it look like?
What does it feel like? .
