I always outline the purpose of the session and how it applies to the attendees, but I frequently experience resistance in the form of poor participation. One of the more effective ways I have found to overcome that resistance is to use what Knowles refers to as “role models”. I use the success of other team members as examples to be followed, and ask those individuals to speak whenever possible. This usually prompts lively discussion, and engages the attendees into the training session. In the future, I will also incorporate Knowles’ (1989) strategy of acknowledging that “… I knew some students were there under compulsion and that I wished this weren’t so…” (p.2).
The vital abilities that each child must pick up are to understand necessary instructions. This is an important age that children are attempting to guess who they are. Educators will have to help the students if they need it because certain circumstances that students will rely on the teacher more than their own parents. I am certain that Ron’s conduct has a lot to do with the new surroundings. When a student is in new surroundings they will search and test the grounds on which they can and cannot do.

There is currently a positive behavior intervention (PBIS) system in place but there needs to be things added to make it more effective. There are currently grade level PLC teams at the school but I would try to find a way where there could be another PLC team where the teachers in specific subject areas can get together and meet (i.e. all math teacher, science teacher, etc).

It also highlights the contribution made by Harry’s parents and his early years educators to his early education. Much of what we learn about Harry’s early learning can be applied to many other young children. Providing a unique look at one child’s early development and learning, this book will be of interest to all who are fascinated by how young children learn – nursery practitioners, early years teachers, parents, students and advisers. Cath Arnold has worked in the field of early education for over 25 years, both in the private and public sectors.
Teachers are coming out of their classrooms and meeting with other teachers and sharing strategies, and asking questions that have other teachers thinking about how to have more successful classroom experiences. The final implication I think that it is having globally is that through coaching we will have retention of quality teachers. Through collegial and peer coaching teachers will find their voice in the classroom, understand what they what to accomplish and through self-reflection with a coach, teachers will begin to have an impact on their students in their
EDCI 352 Reflective Essay Planning and Preparation: My clinical instructor was Mrs. Mills, a kindergarten teacher at Marietta Elementary.

Once the parents, students and teachers take these questionnaires, they will be able to see if they are doing all that needs to be done in preparation.

There were students during these interviews who felt that their problems begins with time management as they try to process, gather, research, and prepare for projects and class experiences. Some students told me that they feel the college instructors expect too much from them over multiple subjects. Because some students feel they are not properly prepared or skilled in study habits for college work, they expressed that they are failing certain courses either at the high school level or with the dual credit program.
