    The power of a reflective teacher is unstoppable. Hand in hand with reflective practice is coachability.  Coachability speaks to the teachers capacity to: hear feedback; analyze and understand the feedback; implement the feedback into their teaching.

  • Consider a person who skips household and professional Sunday responsibilities to sit on the couch for hours watching pre-game shows; screaming at referees, coaches and players; and following post-game analysis – or who calls in sick to catch a game or breaks friendships over team rivalries. By the WHO’s criteria, this could qualify as “gaming disorder” – except that it’s about sports on TV, rather than video games.
  • Though the WHO warns against spending too much time gaming, that is not the way to measure addiction. Some studies demonstrate that some people who spend more time gaming actually exhibit fewer addictive behaviors than people who play less.
