In this case study, first year third grade teacher, Maggie Lindberg, is having trouble controlling her class. The children are well-behaved during their art period. However, when Ms. Lindberg is in charge, they are highly uncontrollable. They talk when they are not supposed to talk and they don’t listen to anything that Maggie says. There’s supposed to be a nature walk/field trip and Ms. Lindberg’s class has yet to complete the task. I see so many problems with this case study. First of all, I believe that Ms. Lindberg came into the school year sort of unprepared and thinking that because it’s the first year, it would be simple. Another problem I see with Ms. Lindberg is that she seems to have a low confidence level. And she’s way too …show more content…
By being firm with the students, Ms. Lindberg will reduce the rudeness these kids are giving her. You can’t be nice one minute and mean the next. Ms. Lindberg needs to be firm all the time. Raising your voice only further frustrates the teacher. She has to be relaxed but at the same time mean business. She cannot let her frustrations show. Ms. Lindberg needs to be sure to remain calm at all times. I think that if she feels her frustration showing, she could use breathing techniques to help her relax and calm herself down. While using breathing techniques to relax and being as firm as possible, Maggie should be able to be more confident that she has been in the past. I learned that as a first year teacher, I should be over prepared for the best and the worst scenarios. Being under prepared is the worst thing you can do. I learned that before the first day of class, I have to have a plan for managing my classroom well. While, yelling at my students may seem like the best way to get their attention it is not. I have to use a calm but firm voice. I have to let them know that I am in charge. That means, I am the teacher and they are the students. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I think that while having my own plan in place, if I notice that their behavior is better when they are in related arts classes, I could ask those teachers what they do to get them to behave correctly and respectfully. Since I will be working
1. Describe bone physiology and the bone remodeling cycle. Be sure to emphasize the two types of bone tissue and the roles of osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
The main purpose or mission of the Greenhill Community Center was to provide human service programs for learning, growth, and enrichment throughout life within an intergenerational setting. The mission seems to fill the need in the demographical setting of the location. The center is located in one of the poorest cities on the East Coast. In the textbook it states a mission as being “the reason an organization exists, and it must be the starting point for its planning.” (Worth, p.172) The mission of the center is very sound, but in the process of hiring a new director, I think the mission focus was lost. I saw a couple of incidences of “mission creep“ in the reading. (Worth, p.173) One being the focus the trustees put on not
1. What is meant by the globalization of human capital? Is this inevitable as firms increase their global operations?
It is important for a teacher to challenge disruptive behaviour immediately and consistently. I feel by trying to make lessons enjoyable and providing work that helps students to achieve minimizes disruptive behaviour. The use of good communication by the teacher can also be a useful tool. This includes the use of the voice, phrasing, eye contact and body language. For example, using an assertive tone when making a request or physically positioning yourself near disruptive students.
Many teachers are faced with the difficult task of managing their student’s behavior. Even if we
Scott Starson, a brilliant physicist has been in and out of mental institutions due to his bipolar disorder. He was lastly admitted again after he made death threats to his roommates and was found not criminally responsible for that offense. His physicians suggested different sorts of treatment for his illness. Scott Starson refused to give consent to the treatment for reason that he had a scientific research to finish and he didn’t want the medications to slow him down. His physicians not finding him competent enough to critically make that kind of decision, brought the case
I also realized that I needed to read more into classroom management. I noticed the teacher had withitness since she could conduct a reading group while watching and listening to the other 5 stations of students scattered across the room. She was able to read the book out loud to the class while noticing the students’ behavior such as a child who had put a rock in her mouth. The teacher calmly stopped reading and told the girl to spit the rock out and throw it away while exclaiming that rocks are not intended for our mouths or eating. Then she began to read again. I did not even see the rock from where I was
- Ask students what happens if they are being disrespectful to the teacher and other classmates.
The classroom is very well-behaved and organized. It is very clear that the authoritarian approach to the students has created a very responsive and submissive class. The students just kind of take in what the directors say. It’s hard to understand if they genuinely understand the topics that are being discussed or if they are just glazing over as they are bombarded with terms that they don’t entirely understand. There is a lot of the “withitness” among the teachers, and they are very aware when a student steps out of line and “bark” at the students to follow the daily routine and task at hand. Outside of that technique, there isn’t a lot obvious techniques that the teachers use.
The case study depicts Sally as a happy and well-adjusted fourth grader. Sally is described as having several strengths in the classroom, one being that she is very social and “popular” among her classmates, particularly enjoying dramatic play and other imaginative activities. Other strengths of Sally are a love of books, reading, and spending time in the library. She seems like a very motivated learner, and seeks out opportunities to read with her older brother. Some of Sally’s weaknesses in the classroom appear to be her “activeness” in the classroom. It is noted in the class scenario that Sally, at times, interrupts during class time and exhibits “fidgety” behaviors, such as, chewing on her sleeves
1) I choose Sarah, she wanders around the classroom. This affects the other students because it is a distraction to them. They want to know why Sarah is walking around, which then causes them to lose focus on the lesson. This type of behavior is very disruptive to the class as a whole. The teacher then has to stop class and address Sarah and the other student’s who are wandering. It is difficult to keep the student’s engaged in a lesson as it is and then when you have an added distraction it makes it more difficult. This behavior also gives other student’s a sense of entitlement they think if Sarah can
I really enjoyed this case study. Ms. Johnson handled the punishments of Nicole in the ideal manner. Sitting out for part or all of her recess time was not too harsh, nor was it not harsh enough. After different placements within the classroom did not work, Ms. Johnson realized she needed to do more to figure out the problem. I like how Ms. Johnson was not going to give up, and with her ideas, she eventually solved the problem, which helped Nicole tremendously in the long
Due to Liz's behavior, the rest of the students start to lose focus on the lesson that is being taught and quickly follow suit, making the teacher have to stop teaching and try to get all the students back into their seats to resume the lesson. The time used by the teacher to return order to the classroom is time that is taken away from the students who are earnestly attempting to learn the material.
There are three teachers in the classroom, one does reading/lesson circle with a small group of students, another does arts and crafts, and one of them circulates throughout the room helping students with their work-plans. The teacher that circulates around the room all the time appears to be the head teacher and when a conflict arises she is the one to mediate it. The way that the teachers speak with the children is as if they are equals, they aren’t talked down to and the students give the teachers complete respect.
