They are identified in a person but aren’t really the person’s number one choice. The preferred strategies are the strategies that help the person learn and cope to their needs. Identified strategies are there and also help but the person would prefer the other strategies over them. As discussed earlier, kinesthetic strategies embody actively engaging into the lesson. On the contrary, aural study strategies engage “attending classes, discussions, and tutorials, discussing topics with others and teachers, and using a tape recorder.” People who are good listeners and learn better by hearing have aural strategies.
Misbehavior is less likely to recur if a student makes a commitment to avoid the action and to engage in more desirable alternative behaviors.”(Kizlik, 2012). I believe that I have a more to learn about classroom management and policy, especially dealing with punishment and consequences. The use of praise in my classroom management style might be good. In the use and way I praise students matched the use of best practices of more seasoned professionals. I have linked praised with student performance and instruction.
These are differences in understanding, perception, attitudes, or preferred action. Yet one of the key advantages of working in groups and teams is the opportunity to capitalize on the multiple perspectives that group and team members have (Beebe & Masterson, 2006). An examination of the faculty profiles provided me with an indication that although there are some teachers with innovative ideas, many teachers carry a groupthink mentality. Groupthink is described as a means of deliberating what group members use when their desire for unanimity overrides their motivation to assess all available plans of action (West & Turner, 2004). Some student profiles created by faculty members contain information that could be called into question because of biases and stereotyping.
This in turn raises self-esteem. Comforting and reassuring children in times of stress or anxiety is an important part of a classroom assistants role. Reassuring children with low levels of confidence in their academic work and supporting them raises self-esteem. Children feed off praise, it motivates them. Empathising with children is appreciating how they might be feeling and responding in an appropriate manner.
By using demonstrative communications will allow both the sender and receiver to concentrate on the communication instead of trying to analyze the nonverbal behavior of one another. By removing barriers and actively listening and responding will allow the message to be sent, decoded and received. When both parties are engaged in the communication, the more productive and efficient they will be. Conclusion By implementing the best practices for demonstrative communication will help an individual both professional and personally. Practice makes perfect and it will be a constant learning experience because everyone is different.
I felt that there were a lot of things I did well as a teacher. It didn’t take a lot of time for the students to open up to me, and feel comfortable to ask questions. I really enjoyed answering the questions each student had, and even teaching some students how to conjugate verbs and use them. I also thought that I did a great job in encouraging the students, and not letting them just slip by when I knew they were capable of doing better. In one case, we all had to make a fool of ourselves by dancing to the alphabet song, but I can guarantee that the students won’t soon forget the words to the song.
If you appear angry and unfriendly, then the child will try to avoid any contact with you or will just stay quiet when you ask them a question. Linked into this attribute would be humour. Children love laughter and it can also help increase their attention span during lessons, as the children will be concentrating on what you say, just in case you say something funny. Building a good relationship with the children also has a serious side as they will begin to feel comfortable coming to you if they have any problems. It could be from issues with their school work, to something more serious and personal.
Portrait of an ISTJ When I took the personality test, Myers-Briggs Test, my results was the portrait of an ISTJ (Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging). The ISTJ personality was very accurate and was very close to my personality and my way of thinking. I am quiet and reserved to the people I’m not really close with, but I am down-to-earth and easy to talk to. According to the personality sheet ISTJ, I have a strong-felt internal sense of duty and that fuels my motivation to complete tasks. This is completely true about me, for example, I want to do well in school, so I could go to a good college and get a nice job, I want to be successful for my parents, I want them to be proud of me and after I graduated from college and started working, I want them to live a stress-free life.
For the children that did like to play with the mixture I would encourage them to feel it and tell me what it felt like, whether it was smooth, cold, lumpy and sticky. Froebel is a theorist that says it is important to develop the whole child through the senses and first-hand experiences. This activity works alongside this as the children are feeling ti for themselves and are able to explain to a practitioner how they felt about the experiences that they had just had, they could also talk about the fact that they liked it or
Gatto is saying that schooling is made for kids to adapt to; it has adaptive qualities, therefore there is a chance for everyone to succeed if they really want to, but it takes away from any individual thinking. Conforming is another evil of school because it makes us forced to learn things we really have no interest in and as Gatto states “its intention is to make children as alike as possible”(153). A lot of students use this excuse while they are in high school “when am I ever going to use this again in life” ill be honest I have said it before but I don't necessarily agree with these students because you need to build a base education before you figure out what you want your schooling to focus on. Kids change their minds everyday, I realized that I’m not quite sure I want to be an art major anymore, even being in the first couple of classes I knew it wasn’t for me
