Ms. Rodgers mentions that the class rules and reward program play a major part in trying to prevent behaviors. Her reward program provides points for students for achieving certain academic goals, behavioral goals and classroom goals as a community. She has set forth and feeling of community in her classroom, using the student’s desks as “houses” and with students sitting close to one another, her class is run like a neighborhood. She uses things like being nice to your neighbor and “doing things for the community” as positive behavior reinforcement. She shared with me an example that one of her classified students did in order to receive reward points.
Teachers need direction in order to meet academic proficiencies and to keep student’s interest (Laureate Education, Inc., 2010). After exploring several learning theories and strategies, my own teaching practices are most often modeled by several strategies and learning theories. The Constructivism Theory resonates in some of the techniques I am using in the classroom. Reflecting on student activities and the design my lessons ; I find students are most often engaged in learning activities that are student driven and lead to students constructing their own conclusions. Student often work at stations and learn through team building and planned movement.
This paper asked the question, “Can leadership, particularly charisma, be taught?” They performed a series of measurable experiments to try to answer that question. Their goal was to “whether a theoretically designed intervention can make individuals appear more charismatic to independent observers”. This is their synopsis: “We tested whether we could teach individuals to behave more charismatically, and whether changes in charisma affected leader outcomes. In Study 1, a mixed-design field experiment, we randomly assigned 34 middle-level managers to a control or an experimental group. Three months later, we reassessed the managers using their coworker ratings.
The Forgotten Group Member Case Study Tyrone A Ferguson TFergu3163@aol.com Leadership & Org Behavior – MGMT591 Professor William Crumm DeVry University, Keller Graduate School of Management January 27, 2013 1 MGMT 591: Leadership and Organizational Behavior The Forgotten Group Member Case Study In the case study “The Forgotten Group Member” from our text, we must define and discuss the various group development stages and how they have impacted the team’s development. Part I: Group Development The first stage is the “forming stage” which is the initial entry of team members to the group. This is at the beginning stage in which each team member will identify themselves and the team in general. This period is we will see their strengths and potential weaknesses are seen and also we can when determine the potential risks associated with the project tasks. We will see that “rules of behavior” seem to be to keep things simple and to avoid controversy.
Building a bank of “what if” scenarios is a valuable tool in building a solid teaching philosophy. * Discussing teaching cases allows teachers to reflect and think critically about a certain problem without actually having to go through the experience. Helping teachers prepare for possible situations that may arise in the classroom, is a huge benefit to teachers. Knowing ahead of time how to respond to a certain situation helps build confidence and reduces anxiety in the decision making process. Part 2 The Case of Jesus Gonzalez a) Key Factors This case is about a first grade student named Jesus Gonzalez, his family, and teacher, Mrs. Kiffen.
One of the classroom displays is the ‘Working Wall’ and this is designed by the class teacher and updated to support and flow with the childrens knowledge. I find the Working Wall useful for phonics. However some of the displays are free standing and are only for short periods of time. The display which I had to do was one of these. It consisted of two large blue free standing boards which I displayed the childrens work on ‘Monsters in numeracy and literacy’ these boards were to accompany the childrens class assembly to the rest of the school and their
How can you apply what you have learned? One of the most valuable elements that I learned from the Political Frame Wiki is that each of the key players play a significant role in the political frame. Key players can include counselors, teachers and even janitors. What is important is that each key player is given an opportunity to utilize their strengths to provide students with an optimal learning experience so that they may fare as adults in the real world. They key players each play a role in helping students and the school as a whole to be successful.

The objective “Analyze symbolic meaning in visual and print based texts”, was graded through an informal assessment of class discussion. It was also met in a formal assessment of evaluating the summative analysis of the students Voice Thread project, which uses a rubric based on the students’ use of visual aid, colors, expressions, and connectivity to the text. The teachers second and third objectives to, “Evaluate the analyses of their peers” and “Use new media tools to participate in digital conversations”, are tied to the same assessment of whether or not the students provided feedback to their peers that explored different perspectives and promoted questions and if they responded digitally through the website

In this discussion the pre-service educator will touch on some of the veteran teacher’s question about their personal philosophy.
