#3-in-1

As a teacher, i have always tried to teach minds, touch hearts, and transform lives. And as the cliche goes it's easier saud than done, especially in teaching a highly diverse class who are too different from one another in a lot of aspects. A heterogeneous class is like a 3 in 1 coffee, with low, average, and good students. When they are all together much effort, time, and compassion are needed.

A lot of my colleagues will surely agree that it is such a herculeab task to handle a class with mixed ability, different family backgrounds, experiences and interests. The kind of class requires balance in attention, in teachibg strategies and approaches to provide effective learning for all. For instance, in accompishibg activities, the fast learners may find them to easy and get bored waiting for other to finish, while the struggling one's find them too difficult and need some warning up to start. Indeed, time and pacing are the usual problems that every teachers encounters. Thus, groups activities, like role play and buzz session must be practiced to develop peer teachinf and collaboration among the learners.

Although taxing and sometimes frustrating, there are still some advantages in combining different kinds of students. Listening and spending time together in one class may increase awareness on each other's needs abd facilitate camaradere by reaching out to those who are left behind, also respect and acceptance of their individual differences can be established among learners. Therefore improving not only one's intellect but also the students values information.

In the end, some students seem don't really care how much they have learned from me, but it's more of how i made them feel. So it is my constant endeavor to stay grounded and keep in my heart my mission as a teacher. I will take years or even decades to fullfil it but i will patiently want because know the rewards will be priceless and lasting..
