Running Head: Theories NBT Task 1: Classroom Management Theories Rob Tippett Western Governors University NBT1: Classroom Management, Engagement, & Motivation Mentor Robert Bott Abstract For this task I will be creating a personal philosophy of classroom management related to my area of licensure in Special Education. This work will explain how elements of classroom management theories influence my personal philosophy in; self-management, self-efficacy, student motivation, and student engagement. I will also be looking at strategies for managing routine misbehaviors into my classroom management philosophy. My philosophy on classroom management focuses on creating a calm, safe environment for each student. I will create this environment through an engaging curriculum, personable interaction, topic orientated discussions, and group work.
The teachers unknowing pass the ideas that they learned as a child onto their students, who also do not realize that it is being done to them. <br> Peggy Orenstein very effectively tackles the question "are boys and girls treated differently in school?" (Italicized paragraphs 7). She concluded from her field studies in junior high schools that the teacher sometimes treats boys and girls differently in the classroom. She also admits that boys and girls do have many differences, which cause them to behave differently.
Jeremy Reed English 1101 Section 104 Jack Ehn October 29, 2014 Against School I can relate to John Taylor Gatto. "Against School" As I look at my kids as they do their homework it seems challenging at times, or I find them being bored with it and wanting to either do more work or not wanting to do any work at all. They seem to understand it’s just not challenging enough, or they may just be bored. Gatto says “I taught for thirty years in some of the worst schools in Manhattan, and in some of the best, and during that time I became an expert in boredom. Boredom was everywhere in my world, and if you asked the kids, as I often did, why they felt so bored, they always gave the same answers: They said the work was stupid,
I gave the families a chance to give input on the child’s development plans and how well they felt the child’s welfare could be improved. During meetings with the families I gave the child the opportunity to introduce self and the family. I also gave the child the opportunity to participate in discussing and making choices about their own learning outcomes. 1.1.B. Now think of another situation when you were able to treat children, young people, their families and their carers as equals.
The teacher’s set low standards for students. For example in Anyon’s article a principal told a new teacher “Just do your best if they learn to add and subtract, that’s a bonus. If not don’t worry about it.”(Anyon, 7) A social studies fifth grade teacher told Anyon that she wrote notes on the board for the students to copy, Anyon asked the fifth grade teacher “Why,” the teachers responded, “Because the children in this school don’t know anything about the U.S, so you can’t teach them much” (Anyon, 7). Another teacher commented and said “You can’t teach these kids anything, their parents do not care about them, and they’re not interested. We keep them busy
If you know the learning style of the student, it is easier to convey the message you are trying to convey. Teachers adapt to their students and help them according to their style learning. Knowing the learning strategies influence teaching and learning by allowing the teacher know what is going on and giving students a chance to understand the material. These learning strategies help both: the teacher and the student. References Roell, K. (2014, January 1).
By basing knowledge on how children develop and learn, it can help make more developmentally appropriate activities. The children would learn more, and you would be more successful as a teacher. *Appreciate and support the bond between the child and family. If you appreciate the bond between the child and family, teaching in the classroom
Unfortunately, the FCAT does not evaluate student’s performance correctly due to students that fall under pressure. The pressure that student’s feel and encounter is also known as test anxiety. According to Channel 7 reporter Erica Rakow’s in the article “FCAT Stresses Students Out, she claims” The responsibility of passing both reading and math portion of the FCAT in 10 grade adds a stressful ambiance to students who really do not want to retake it as a junior (par.2). Rakow also points out “That responsibility includes promotions to the next grade, and future funding for their school. Some students get so worked up about the test they can’t even get through it (par.3).
Many teachers do not like “catching plagiarists and bringing them to academic justice.” As she states, it is not hard to just cite the author that originally had the information you are using (Bojar). Plagiarism is becoming a big problem in the school system. Many students do not understand what needs to be cited and what does not. The school system should teach students the proper way to cite, and they should teach them that copy and pasting is not writing a paper. According Bojar to students at the community college have a hard time juggling classes along with his or her family and a job.
This data is then mined for implications - did the lesson work? Did the students learn the skill we wanted them to learn? Did the lesson cover material the students already knew? How can we improve the lesson next time? School Counselor Performance Standards The ASCA model clearly spells out standards for school counselors.
