Not-So-Mindful
I used this clip from Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, as my not-so-mindful teaching example because, in my mind, there are many examples in which professor Snape practices not-so-mindful teaching. The first example is when he walk into the class and, without so much of a hello or introduction, he yells his first rule at his students then puts them down. He does this by tell his students he doesn't expect many of them to understand or appreciate the art of potion making. He then goes on to single out Harry, a student he doesn't like. while accusing him of not paying attention, when the student was just taking notes. Snape then moves on to interrogate Harry with questions there would be no way of him knowing the answer to, given that he has had no prior know of anything involving magic. He then puts down Harry by saying, "Clearly, fame isn't everything." embarrassing his student in front of the class, while willfully ignoring a student who is clearly eager to participate in class. These reasons lead me to believe that Snape is practicing not-so-mindful teaching, when he show clear favoritism to a particular student (Draco Malfoy), putting the other students down, and attacking Harry for not learning the way he wants.
Mindful
I chose this scene from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because I think Harry shows very mindful teaching. This is shown by how he starts his lesson by tell the students that this is a particularly hard spell, but not to be discouraged. He then teaches the students as they practice the spell. He walks around the room shouting words of encouragement and instructions on how to make the spell stronger or last longer. He also shows his understanding of different learning styles. This is apparent when he talks to Luna, he sees that she is processing his instructions and thinking through what he said before she attempts anything, after this she cast the spell perfectly on the first try. Harry doesn't try to push into trying when shes not ready. In this scene Harry offers encouragement and praise to all his students, and he keeps a open classroom where he inspires his students and understands that they all learn differently and at a different pace. This is why I chose Harry Potter as my mindful teaching example.
