4. ASSERTIVENESS
Assertiveness is a skill regularly referred to in social and communication
skills training. Being assertive means being able to stand up for your
own or other people's rights in a calm and positive way, without being
either aggressive, or passively accepting 'wrong'.

5. In psychology there are 3 types of people when it comes to assertiveness:
• Aggressive
• Passive
• Passive and aggressive (depending on the tone of voice) Thank you for
letting me know, you always notice everything (with pain inside)

6. There are three steps to work on our assertiveness:
We need to make sure to think about our feelings, emotions and actions in the
following way:
• Cognitive
• Before it happens
• During the time it happens
• After the time it happens
• Emotional
• What I exactly do in that feared situation?
• What are my social skills?
• External Behavior
• How I feel? Physical symptoms

Which of these are true for you? Which of these are the most
problematic?

your school face?

• Use their cell phones actively in the learning process
• Engage their attention in putting more complex task than just playing
computer game
• Change the subject content new information, make it more attractive

10. • There is not only one solution, we need to understand students by
conducting tests, discussions and observations, and find an
appropriate solution for that type of class.
• We need to be creative because we are creative and we can do it.
• Example: Split the class in groups of 3 or 4, assign one subject to each
group, and ask the students to conduct the lessons.
