CREATING A POSITIVE CLASSROOM CLIMATE
Establish rapport:
As we know, the teacher has to create a close relationship with his students in a way that can respect and trust on him. The teacher has to be for the students a companion in every moment of the learning process , he has to be a good friend, he has to help students when needed, for example if the student has problems with his parents, the teacher has to provide some pieces of advices. The teacher has to play, smile learn and cry with the students if it is possible.
The worst mistake a teacher makes is to discriminate or not to care of students. Sometimes, teachers care more about students from the opposite sex, and the other part feels uncomfortable.
Balance praise and criticism:
The teacher has to care about what students do in order to help them to be more optimists when they are developing an activity, but you have to be the same with all the students. It is important to mention that students need to be criticized when they make a mistake. If we don’t correct their mistakes, it will affect them in the future.
Generate energy:
As the teacher is the model, he has to show energy in the classroom. The teacher has to call student´s attention with his or her optimism and his energy. There are some teachers who have problems in their houses and they seem worried when teaching their students, and students feel depressed too. This kind of attitude affects student´s learning process.

Xavi let me tell you that I like everuthing you wrote. As we see it`s not an easy deal to be a teacher. I am kind of scared, every time that I start thinking about the responsability a teacher has.
