Portrait of a Teacher Most often, people generally refer to democracy as the type of government our nation has chosen; what is forgotten is that democracy occurs in various places such as work and schools.

Communication is an important part of a democracy especially if everyone must work together to achieve one common goal. In the classroom, teachers are responsible not only teaching the value of democracy but also exemplifying that value through their lessons and conduct in the classroom.

In order to successfully maintain proper order in the classroom, we must engulf a vast amount of actions, such as classroom climate, parental involvement, environment, student expectations, rewards and consequences, classroom procedures, and student motivation. My general belief about managing the behavior of children/youth in the classroom is that no child is totally the blame, and therefore disciplinary practices should mirror the school and classroom policies implemented by the teacher. Also, parental involvement in the disciplinary process is a must. In the pursuit of proper classroom management and to avoid misbehavior; appropriate curriculum and teaching strategies must be considered. In this we must consider class size, composition, planning time, cultural and linguistic barriers, and access to equipment, materials and other needed resources.
Case Study #3 Building a Coalition MGMT 591-10559 Leadership & Organizational Behavior Part I: Group Development The group is at the forming stage. Our textbook states the forming stage is characterized by a great deal of uncertainty about the group’s purpose, structure and leadership. Members “test the waters” to determine what types of behaviors are acceptable. After reading over the case study I was torn between the group being at the forming stage or the storming stage. The group does have purpose as they plan to create an after-school program which will improve school performance both by the students and the teachers.
In ’’Restoring the work ethic in America “the author states that the America's labor force is gearing itself to meet the needs of the workplace of tomorrow. Traditional patterns of meaningless labor intensive, assembly-line production are giving way to newer employment practices which empower employees to take control through self-management teams. Educators, employing similar practices in the classroom, enable teams of students to take charge of their own learning. Cooperative learning procedures teach sills of problem-solving and decision-making, crucial to work of the future. If a strong work ethic is to be restored educators, parents and business people must be prepared to make a commitment to these goals.

Even with successful teams, Ruddy says, a manager needs to be involved. Even though a team may have a lot of decision-making authority, there needs to be a manager scanning the horizon to determine which direction the team should head next. Learning team skills Teams must be trained in teamwork: members often need help in skills such as listening, communicating with different kinds of people, and staying focused on the task.
