Heart vs Mind Part 1 - Student discipline and teenage relationships


Quick recap

Learning Forward Saturday reading session for The Teachers Academy, focused on the book "Wanted Backbencher and Last Ranker Teacher,” in which participants discussed the chapter "Heart vs. Mind" and shared reflections from the previous session on overcoming fear and leadership. Sandeep Dutt provided updates about the program’s expansion, including a new 3:30 PM session time starting July 4 and a new simplified domain (diljeeto.com), while announcing that 350 people had registered for the evening program at 5:30 PM. The group read excerpts from the current chapter on Roma’s experiences with student discipline issues and teenage relationships, and participants discussed how to handle adolescent behaviour in the classroom. The session concluded with plans to contact Kavita regarding the final two chapters and a discussion of the importance of understanding teenage psychology in teaching.
