Authentic connection in the classroom is the cornerstone of compassionate teaching. If we want to develop lasting relationships with students and relate to them in meaningful ways, we must get to know them as unique individuals. In this episode, you will learn three changes to implement in your classroom, no matter how far into your teaching practice you are.

Teaching Compassion

Authentic Connection in the Classroom

Ciao e benvenuti a Storie in italiano.
Oggi ascoltiamo una storia che si chiama Un caffè al bar.

Marco si sveglia presto. È una bella giornata di sole.
Ha una riunione alle 9, ma prima vuole bere un caffè.
Va in cucina e si accorge che la moca è vuota, non c’è caffè. Si veste in fretta, esce di casa e cammina per qualche minuto.
Dopo poco arriva al bar vicino all’ufficio.
Dentro ci sono molte persone. Alcuni leggono il giornale, altri parlano con gli amici. L’aria profuma di caffè e di cornetti appena sfornati.
Marco guarda il banco: ci sono cornetti alla crema, al cioccolato, alla marmellata.
Il barista lo saluta: “Buongiorno. Cosa prende?”
Marco risponde: “Un caffè, per favore. E anche un cornetto alla crema.”
Il barista sorride subito.
Nel frattempo Marco paga alla cassa. La cassiera dice: “€1,10 per il caffè, €1,20 per il cornetto, in totale €2,30.”
Marco paga, prende lo scontrino e torna al banco.
Il barista mette il cornetto su un piattino, prepara il caffè e dice: “Ecco a lei.”
Marco assaggia il caffè: è forte ma buonissimo.
Mangia il cornetto lentamente, osservando la gente che entra ed esce dal bar.

Accanto a lui un signore chiede: “Scusi, che ore sono?”
Marco guarda l’orologio: sono le 8:45.

In quel momento si rende conto che è in ritardo.
Si alza di fretta, prende il computer e dice al barista: “Arrivederci.”
“Buona giornata” risponde il barista.
Marco esce in strada a passo veloce.

Un Caffè al Bar

みなさん、こんにちは。おげんきですか。日本は3連休です。そして、台風が来ています。
大型の台風が九州に近づいているようです。九州にお住まいの方、大丈夫ですか。気をつけてください。
19日の月曜日は敬老の日で、23日の金曜日は秋分の日なので、今週は休みが多いです。九月のこの連休のことをシルバーウイークって言うんですよ。

我が家の高校2年生の息子は、今日は学校の文化祭。今朝は台風の影響で雨足が強かったのですが、朝6時半に家を出て行きました。青春ですね。「文化祭、何をするの」って聞くと、「モグラたたき」って。えー、何それって感じです。人間モグラたたきのようですよ。楽しいことを考えますね。
コロナ前は入場制限もなく自由に学校見学に行けましたが、コロナ禍ということで、インターネットで予約してからの入場のようです。面倒な時代ですね。でも、インターネットでの配信も少しあるみたいなので、わざわざ学校まで足を運ばなくても、文化祭の様子を垣間見ることができます。これは、親にはありがたいですね。

娘は明日が誕生日です。で、雨ですが、原宿まで洋服を買いに行きたいと。日本の小学生はおしゃれが大好きですよ。
なので、大雨の中、私の姉も一緒に原宿にお買い物に行ってきました。私の姉ですから、娘にとってはおばさんですね。たくさん試着して、さんざん悩んで洋服を買いました。
娘との買い物は、私自身も楽しみなんです。あー、こんなのが好きなんだとか、大きくなったなあって思いながら、楽しく買い物しましたよ。原宿は雨でも混んでいました。

みなさんはどんな週末でしたか。

Understanding Change Management
Change management is an essential discipline for organizations facing the ever-changing business environment. It involves a structured approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations from a current state to a desired future state. This can include changes in company culture, internal processes, technology, infrastructure, and corporate hierarchy.

There are two primary types of organizational change:

Adaptive Changes: These are incremental adjustments that organizations make to evolve over time. Examples include hiring new team members or implementing work-from-home policies.
Transformational Changes: These are comprehensive shifts that significantly alter the organization’s operations. Examples include launching new products, entering new markets, or undergoing a company-wide restructuring.

Best Practices

Aligning HR Initiatives
Align HR strategies with the organization’s goals and engage stakeholders to ensure buy-in and facilitate smooth transitions.

Facilitating Open Dialogue
Maintain transparent communication to alleviate uncertainty and build trust among employees.

Sharing the “Why”
Provide the rationale behind changes to help employees understand the necessity of decisions.

Enlisting Sponsors
Secure committed sponsors who actively support the change and can influence its success.

Addressing Employee Concerns
Recognize that employees may resist change for various reasons and provide support to manage this resistance.

Using Storytelling
Employ narratives to convey the organization’s culture, values, and vision, connecting emotionally with employees.

Creating Urgency and Feedback Loops
Communicate the need for change compellingly and establish mechanisms to gather feedback and adjust strategies accordingly.

Securing Leadership Support
Ensure that executives are visibly committed to the change, as their support is crucial for encouraging others to follow.
