By allowing certain behaviors to occur without consequences the teacher is sending the message that it is okay. This can cause the students to lose focus and a decrease in understanding of the lesson being taught. It can also allow chaos to reign supreme. Disruptions can also make other students feel threatened. Students must feel safe and secure in their class in order to learn and grow in education.
The ideal was to establish a set of basic academic standards that all students should achieve, hold the schools accountable for meeting these standards for all students, ←and→ then give educators the choice of how to meet the standards. The way NCLB is currently being administered must be fixed, otherwise we will have both new ←and→ seasoned talented teachers leaving the profession in droves. Although reading ←and→ math tests would remain in the administration's proposal, schools could also include student performance in other subjects as part of overall measurements of progress. Critics say that the current education law has narrowed the curriculum for students:→ Many teachers zero in on math ←and→ reading at the expense of other subjects to help students prepare for the required tests. (Douglas) Students need a well-rounded education," the blueprint declares, and it cites disciplines including history, civics, foreign languages, and the arts.
It identifies any weaknesses in a student’s knowledge such as gaps and misconceptions the teacher would normally fail to notice. It will allow the teacher the ability to modify any lessons surrounding these misconceptions. It is very similar to a formative assessment since it allows the teacher to check on the student's progress and understanding. Through these interviews, the teacher can reduce misconceptions in the lessons and promote understanding of the curriculum which will help the student in their following academic
‘Explain the ways you would establish ground rules with your learners which would underpin behaviour and respect for others.’ Setting ground rules within a group establishes what the tutor and the group can expect from each other in terms of social as well as educational expectations. An understanding of why each rule is in place will ensure learners and tutor feel more comfortable about its existence and helps to provide a good learning environment for all in the group. The delivery of these rules can be important when teaching adults as some learners’ feel more at ease having set rules or boundaries whereas others whose negative experiences of their schooling may feel an unconscious resentment. Rather than imposing a stated list of rules or laying down the law, asking for opinions and experiences, then drawing from that any expectations of the group can be a mutually beneficial way of establishing what ground rules should be made and more importantly why they are important or relevant to the group. This method is also a good way to encourage the exchange of ideas and opinions within the group as learners are more likely to relate to each other, discuss, and help each other further on in the course.
Analyse different ways in which you would establish ground rules with your learners, which underpin behaviour and respect for others. Ground rules are very important for the tutor to have within their classroom. With out the ground rules they will not be able to maintain order as this will give the students the ability to do whatever they like. When setting the ground rules it can be done by either the tutor or the students or both as this will give the students a sense of responsibility so therefore will less likely to break the rules. How the tutor should set the ground rules would be by putting the students into small groups or 1 large group and ask them to create a list of ground rules and them present this to the class and then rate
Also if there were students whose first language wasn’t English, I would put them with the more knowledgeable/experienced students. I am aware that in practise group work could possibly cause the group to deteriorate to chaos, however it is possible to overcome this with by stopping the lesson and notifying the students that the lesson would resume once the chatter has died down and if it continued I would send the perpetrators out of the classroom. ICT is a complex subject and so there will be some students that understand and know more than others, so it would be beneficial to group students of different levels together to do the work so that the students can learn from each other. The students with less understanding of the subject are able to learn from stronger students as they are all working together in groups to complete the task. 1.2) Evaluate strategies to manage group behaviour and dynamics.
This does not mean that parents have no rights to what happens to their child while they are at school but this allows school to guide student behaviors though discipline. This idea is called in loco parentis (pg. 378). This concept was once more important in schools than it is now but it has brought forth it idea that no matter the student, disabled or not, there needs to be a certain level of responsibility put on all students for their behaviors when they are at school. This would be a great chapter of the book for parents to read because it would help them to understand why the school is doing what it is doing.
“The institutions traditionally procure, provide and control the technology for learning but now students are acquiring their own personal technologies for learning and institutions are challenged to keep pace” (Research in Technology Learning, 2010). Computers and other technical devices that are being used to enhance student learning helps to make teaching more creative and effective; however, it has also caused a lot of confusion and chaos in regards to ethics. Once teachers only had to be concerned about the basic rules of classroom etiquette and they could govern their classroom visually. Now teachers have to implement rules and guidelines to ensure that technology in the classroom is being used for its intended purpose to protect students from lurking dangers that might not always be detected by human
There are rules and regulations which students cannot break, because there will be punishments for their actions. There is a time schedule which they have to go by, there is also a social structure, which they must maintain. This is beneficial because a student at a young age learns the basic rules of work, and life, such as don’t be late, and not to procrastinate. However the main focus for most high school students is the acceptance of peers and not what they are supposed to be doing. This is where student must come to terms with what and who they are, and what they will become, and there is always someone who wants to be better than other students.
In truth, there are three types of teachers: Informative, nonchalant and friendly. There are specific teachers for each students and it is the student's job to figure out which type of teacher is compatible with their way of learning. First off, an informative teacher is the type of teacher that gives students the most information and can be more intuitive as far as teaching. These types of teachers are, basically, for students who desire someone who is straight-forward and bestows facts as well as valuable details needed in order to pass the class. For example, if a student is in this specific teacher's class, he or she will be bombarded with material the teacher presents.
