Second period introduction
Teaching English as a second language to primary school students has several advantages. While not as young as kindergarteners, primary school children can still learn a new language without major problems. They are highly motivated to learn, enjoy learning, take risks, and can figure out new vocabulary on their own. Teachers should keep in mind that primary students have short attention spans, learn best through multi-sensory experiences, and get bored easily. Overall, primary school is considered the perfect time to start learning a second language as it is still relatively easy for children to acquire while they understand classroom expectations.

The document discusses phonetics and phonology in three paragraphs. The first paragraph provides an overview of typical phonetic and phonological content in textbooks, moving from vowels and consonants to contractions, weak forms, stress, and rhythm. The second paragraph suggests that sentence stress determines unstressed words and speaking speed determines contracted words, with sounds changing accordingly. The third paragraph notes that stress and rhythm are psychologically advantageous for students to learn as corrections are not upsetting and picked up more quickly.
How to correct mistakes is
This document provides tips for correcting student mistakes in the classroom in a positive manner. It recommends having students practice pronunciation and self-correct when possible. If self-correction does not work, peers can be prompted to provide the right answer without singling out the student who was incorrect. Praise and compliments should be given at all stages of the learning process to encourage students and boost confidence, even when mistakes are made. The overall goal is to correct errors in a supportive way so students are not afraid to take risks and continue improving.
Media Training
This document provides guidance on effectively working with the media, including tips for interviews and crisis situations. Some key points covered are: establishing trust and two-way relationships with media; being prepared with clear messages and facts; selecting an appropriate spokesperson; sticking to your central message and answering only the questions asked; and remembering that there is no such thing as "off the record" with reporters. The overall message is that media interactions require honesty, conciseness, and being an expert who can communicate effectively to the public.
12 Points of Good Teacher
The document provides tips for teachers to effectively educate students and earn their respect. It advises teachers to respect all students equally, use names to address students, not force respect but earn it, maintain secularism and fairness, handle situations with mercy not anger, appreciate student achievements, identify individual qualities and needs, use varied teaching methods to engage students, question students to help retention, and lead by example.

Mrs. Lemos teaches students in grades 9-12 with a variety of special needs, including learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and autism disorders. Her students range in age from 14 to 22 years old. She provides individualized instruction and modifications based on each student's needs and learning style. While students' needs vary, many require assistance with daily living activities, emotional support, and specialized instructional approaches. Mrs. Lemos aims to accommodate her students and satisfy parents' requests to the best of her ability based on her professional judgment of what will benefit each child. She feels more support is still needed for students with special needs given the challenges of implementing education policies that do not always consider individual student needs.

Managing Coaches And Players
1) When dealing with emotional coaches, officials should remain calm, make eye contact when possible, answer questions directly and address behavior before questions.
2) Officials should avoid roadblocks to communication like ordering, directing, commanding or yelling at coaches. They should also not interrupt, maintain eye contact and be relaxed listeners.
3) When speaking to coaches, officials should acknowledge their point of view with phrases like "I hear you" or "I've heard your point" rather than getting defensive or trying to justify their own actions. The goal is achieving balance rather than any one person "winning" or "losing".
Managing Coaches And Players
