Being A Steward Of Discipline

Emerson and today’s theories of education view discipline as necessary for the progress of students in the classroom; however, Emerson’s beliefs differ from modern-day theories of discipline in "respecting a child" encompassing "patience", "the receiving mind" and "discovers for himself his goal in life." Emerson realized that progressive learning is not a dictator relationship. "Respecting a child" will enhance the student’s ability to achieve their goals.

In this essay, I will be looking at and justifying the role of discipline within the public services, as well as evaluating the impact of discipline. Discipline takes a massive role in the public services for many reasons. It is crucial for the servicemen to stick to the rules, which I will be demonstrating within my case study which looks at what happens when a Buckingham Palace Guard is seen pirouetting.

Below is a review of “Teacher Man” written by Frank McCourt. Frank McCourt in his book talks about his thirty years as an English teacher in the schools of New York City. He also reflects upon his life and the struggles that he went through as a child and as a teacher working in public schools. Throughout the book McCourt talks about how the difficulties he faced during his childhood years had affected him and influenced him to develop into an insecure person who disbelieved he could succeed in whatever he did in life, even as a teacher. McCourt begins his teaching career at McKee a vocational high school. McCourt in his first day of class feels in nerves and insecure whether what he is doing is the right thing. This can be seen throughout chapter one where he talks and questions himself regarding his performance as a teacher. In his first days of teaching in at McKee high school McCourt was reprimanded by the school principle for his actions (ate a sandwich that a student threw on the floor and his joke about “sheep”). The two actions based on McCourt were done as an attempt to gather his students’ attention. Also, while McCourt was teaching his classes students would attempt to distract the lesson and ask him questions about his past when living in Ireland. The students’ attempts to distract him from teaching were successful. This can be seen throughout the book were McCourt shares the stories from his past to the students. It is important to note that even

For the military leader, the maintenance of good order and discipline is essential for a military force to be effective. An undisciplined military force is a losing one (Hoversten). General Robert E. Lee was one of the greatest military leaders of all time and was firm when it came to discipline. It was important to him that his soldiers understood that, in addition to efficiency, discipline guaranteed a solder’s safety; that if his forces did not prepare themselves for war when they had a chance, they would pay dearly (McBride). Discipline can be best defined as “a state of training, resulting in orderly conduct.” (McBride). This “state of training” must be achieved as well as maintained during peacetime so

The purpose of this assignment is that I will be reflecting on my own engagement in professional relationships and establish key skills that underpin lifelong learning. I will also be looking into how to perform evidence-based practice and reflect on my capabilities and weaknesses identified in my SWOT analysis (see appendix 1) and personal development plan (see appendix 2).

While writing this text Joanne was attempting to prove the point of if a teacher is stern it might be for the greater good, as she increased her confidence while playing in the orchestra and became what she is today. Without the assistance of Mr. K I don't believe any of the students would have been taught discipline and dedication on their everyday activities in

In today’s society, a quality teacher is considered an individual that allows students to understand emotions, is compassionate towards their students, and will go above and beyond for the student so they are able to reach their full potential. In the short story “The Kid Nobody Could Handle” written by Kurt Vonnegut, Mr. George Helmholtz demonstrated the superior qualities that illustrate a quality teacher. The qualities that Mr. Helmholtz shows throughout the short literature are; determination, compassion and naivety.

Author and speaker of the compelling article Why Tough Teachers Get Good Results, Joanne Lipman informs the public on different teaching styles and which ones have the best results. Dabbling in the careers of journaling, editing, and writing, obviously attending Yale University has given Ms. Lipman many opportunities to succeed in life in different areas. Although, having such a sheltered life as a white and privileged woman will obviously give her a different perspective of this topic. Joanne is automatically given the upperhand and is taught from an early age a different way to think about different subjects. Ms. Lipman was fortunate enough to go to a high-ranking high school in New Jersey which could have molded her thoughts about teachers and their teaching strategies. When reading parts of the article we can find examples of her knowledge on the subject, “We’re in the midst of a national wave of self recrimination over the U.S. education system” (Lipman 4) the reader acquires the sense that she is exceptionally well informed on the topic of the education system. With this comprehension of the issue, I can assume that Ms. Lipman has primarily worked in the education field. The background of an author is an immensely important quality when it comes to their works of literature. Not only does it show their point of view, but also their bias which proves to be influential to the readers. Creative and factual, Joanne spreads her point throughout the article thoroughly,

Like many others from my graduating class, I left college and headed for the fast track world of law and finance. After two years crunching numbers, juggling real estate projects and emerging from Black Monday in October 1987 relatively unscathed, I realized I hated my job. Landing a teaching position at Fessenden School became a watershed event in my life. Looking back over the past years, I fully realize that teaching is an essential part of me. Michael Thompson, once said, "There are some teachers who are effective and know why, others who aren 't effective and don 't know why, and a third are effective, but aren 't quite sure why." After five years at Fessenden, I felt like the latter. Therefore, I decided to attend graduate school in order to become a more effective educator. Theory, practicum, and research aside, graduate school was an epiphany for me. It confirmed in me that leading a school was more than a choice; it was a calling.

I know the biblical doctrine of stewardship defines a man’s relationship to God. It identifies God as owner and man as manager. God makes man His co-worker in administering all aspects of our life.

Completing the SWOT Analysis exercise helped me see a realistic picture of myself. The SWOT analysis has been very helpful for creating a personal development plan because it is based on self-actualization and brings focus to strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities. I find it interesting to realize that performing a SWOT analysis for a career role of interest can help me identify if it is a good

From the time God created the world, stewardship has been a major part of one’s life. Adam and Eve were the first stewards of God’s creation and were to use it in a way that would not ruin it. Creation did not only include the earth with all the plants and animals, it also included the talents God has given, items one possesses, and one’s own body. All these came from God and are to be taken care of. Stewardship is maintaining another’s property for them; in the same way, God gives blessings to people not just for them to use, but also for them to take care of. As one of those whom God has given these blessings to, I must learn how to practice good stewardship and make these blessings last by not destroying or misusing them. Over time, I have learned what good stewardship is and its importance. In the present, I aim to practice good stewardship. In the future, I hope to make good stewardship a part of my daily life, whether it be working hard in my occupation or maintaining my living space.

This note will be used as the basis of monitoring and reviewing performance, and will remain valid for 6 months. If an employee’s unsatisfactory performance is sufficiently serious, it may be justifiable to move directly to a final written warning.

Employee discipline is a concept that could automatically set a negative tone in the workplace. Ideally in a perfect world the workplace would be conflict free and every employee would be the perfect employee. However, unfortunately there probably is not a thing as perfect world. Employee discipline method that can be used by organizational leaders on trying to utilize various methods to help promote and encourage orderly conduct in the workplace. According to Zachary (2013), an organization should have the proper systems in place that helps to encourage proper behavior in the workplace. The right methods to be used to change that behavior if it negatively impacts the organization. In situations where discipline is required the HR perspective would be the type of “punishment” that might have to be administered by HR managers this could often times be unpleasant for both the administrator and the employee. Whether it is dismissing the employee. Perhaps suspending the employee. Even just a written warning. Regardless of the intensity of the punishment it requires that leadership utilize the right methods to help ensure that minimum fallout transpires from the discipline that is used.

Classroom management and classroom discipline share a correlation with one another yet; they are uniquely different issues and should remain a separate focus of the teacher. (Cantor, 2006) Behavior and misbehavior also share a connection but represent different degrees of infraction. (Charles, 2008) This essay focuses on the differences and similarities of these topics and their relation to the classroom.
