As some people work hard to receive their education there are others who may interfere with others education. They are no longer just problem students in Regular classes, but now affecting the higher knowledge students in AP classes. Because teachers have to give their attention to the discipline problems throughout the class the students who want to learn are often obligated to slack in their class. With schools making more rules to try and fight the problems they are still broken with a minimum of a D-Hall. The education system is known lowering their standards for the people that are most likely end up in the minimum wage jobs.
Communication is Key Paulo Freire’s wrote about how both students and teachers need to communicate more in order to improve the quality of learning environment. This excerpt also seems to be directed towards all teachers. “Education is suffering from narration sickness.” (Para 1) Freire gets straight to the point with that sentence as his thesis statement. He explains how teachers are “motionless” and that they need to spice up their teaching style. Good communication is the way to resolve issues with the way students are being taught.
For this reason, teachers are forced to extract superfluous material from the course. Instead, teachers focus only on specific items from the test. Students are encouraged to memorize facts and bring short responses. In an article published by the FairTest organization this method is called "teaching the test." Teaching the test seems to be conducive to improving test taking skills but real academic progression is not always represented.
The implications of the findings were changing beliefs of the observation teacher as well as the demonstration teacher. At times, mentor teachers remain comfortable in the role of “this is how I 4 learned to teach and this is how teaching will always be at our school”. Teachers periodically rethink “outside of the box” and move away from the mindset of sharing the same old concepts to new teachers. (Boring!!!) Teaching and learning styles must change if education is to propel into the future with quality-educated teachers and students.
They necessitate dissimilar skills and teaching methods. Another solution is to construct reading activities so that there is a before, during and after stages of reading knowledge. Expository text comprises the greater part of what we read which includes essays, directions, documents, journals, magazine and newspaper articles, and other things. Students need to familiarize themselves with how these texts work and what to do when they start reading these types of texts. Chris Street wrote an original research article, “Expository Text and Middle School Students: Some Lessons Learned”, and tells us that middle school students face difficulty reading expository texts because they were not taught how to read in this fashion while in elementary school.
My fear that student's wouldn't take me seriously lead me to make choices that were far from loving. The result of those poor decisions with students meant that as they walked into my classroom this year, I was fearful. I decided to take Hawley's advice and use my head, heart, and spirit to fix this fast. Needless to say when I read
After reviewing the reading, we can make many assumptions about the authors’ argument. I think that this is quiet self-explanatory on the message the authors is arguing “that a teacher can help students, but the student “must do the learning.” you as a student can by taught many things but until you actually learn it or apply or are even able to explain it yourself then you have learned the concept applying to this concept there is quote in the book where it is said “Knowledge must grow in his mind if learning is to take place” (Adler and Van Doren; “The Activity and Art of Reading” page 8). I also think that the student has to put in the initiative to learn the concept themselves without the initiative of applying the concept you won’t ever learn the concept. Learning the concept is much like applying the concept of discovery that the Arthur was also referring to in the reading where it was mentioned in the quote “the learner acts on something communicated to him”. After the reading I see my role as a student as the learner or as the thinker which applies the concept that are being taught by the instructor.
According to Morrish (Charles, 2011) giving students a choice in how to behave fails because “if they don’t mind the consequences, they choose to behave discourteously and irresponsible.” (p. 84) Morrish defines discipline in this way, “Discipline is about developing and creating appropriate behaviors, not just managing the ones which are already there,” (2001 p. 10). Real Discipline three phases; (1) train students for compliance (2) directly teach students how to behave in a classroom and practice the skills needed for success, and (3) manage student choice, but only after they have demonstrated mastery of the required responsibilities in a classroom. This program is more rigid and controlling of students, but it appears easy to implement and certainly the effects can be easily measured. The teacher must directly teach students how they are to behave in a classroom setting and then practice it with them until mastery is achieved. There really is no punishment in this system,
The organization and structure of the classroom is just as important as the relationship the teacher has with each of his or her students. Various methods must be used to teach students that have been diagnosed as emotionally disturbed per the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or IDEA. No one theoretical method works the best, however there are methods that work better than others. Each student is an individual and has individual needs so the teacher must vary his or her way of teaching to accommodate each
Teachers must set this in place. ELL Teachers have to uncover a way to motivate and encourage their students to do their best. If a student is feeling good about himself or herself in an unfamiliar situation this will cause their affective filter to become low which will facilitate risk-taking behavior. This step is very important. A student needs to feel comfortable before taking the next step in the classroom.
