Essay on Classroom Scenarios

“Listen. Honey. Eugene doesn’t want to study with you.” She looked down at her shoes. I continued, knowing that she processed my words: “He is a smart boy. He doesn’t need help. You understand me? I am truly sorry if he told you you could come over. He cannot study with you It 's nothing personal. You understand? We won’t be in this place much longer, no need for him to get close to people--it’ll just make it harder for him later.” The girl slowly nodded her head and turned away. “Run back home now.” She stood there, unmoving.

After discussing feelings and emotions generated by conflict and approaches to resolving conflicts constructively, the student will be able to accurately demonstrate techniques to resolving conflicts constructively.

She told me about her classroom rules which are mutual respect, attentive listening and appreciations no put downs. She spent the first three weeks of school going over these three rules and afterwards she had each student write their name on colored paper which is their contract, their signature on that paper means they will follow those rules throughout the year. She has another rule in her classroom called “Kelso’s Choices”. Kelso’s Choices are nine different choices they can make on how to solve their problems in class. When the students come to an issue they have to choose two of the choices on the poster before going to the teacher. Some of the choices on there include, walking away, talking it out, apologizing, telling them to stop, etc. I really liked the idea of Kelso’s Choices because it teaches them problem solving as well as social skills. Instead of being unfair or going to the teacher they have the opportunity to solve the issues and be fair towards each other.

This seems to be a more balanced class out of all of the population. One thing that lacks within Northridge, is the understanding of respect. Where I went to school, and at my other placements, students always knew what was right and wrong, when to stop talking, and how to respect authority. These students lack in most of those categories, which is something that I had to keep in mind when planning my unit. For my standard kids, we had about two parents show up to parent night out of the 50 students that we have. Yet, when the honors parents were scheduled to come, we had about 12 parents show up. I think that most of these students that struggle with behavior problems and lack of respect in the classroom do not have a stable home life. When Mr. Cooper tries to reach out to parents, most of the phone lines have been disconnected, and when he does get in touch with someone, it seems to be a grandparent. I’m sure these grandparents are exhausted because they have already raised children and now they’re having to do it again for whatever the reason may be. I have students that wear the same three outfits every week but I also have students that have never worn the same

Every kid must go to school for 5 days and will be taught the most important subjects math, social studies and science. All the kids that are taught in school will use what they learned at school in the real world. My community will have the most smartest and most nicest teachers.

When most people at East Langford Highschool hear Francis Davis name they will make a face and this face will stay inside of your head. Francis had the worst reputation around school. Nobody could say anything to Francis without their feelings getting hurt from her sharp remarks. As Francis walks out the front door of East Langford High School, she has her two sidekicks by her side- Isabelle and Penelope. These girls didn’t have the best reputation neither. The girls walks to Francis home while sharing a cigarette. “ What are yall trying to get into before the day is over,” asked Penelope? Penelope was always the one trying to do something reckless. “Anything, it doesn’t even matter,” agreed Francis and Isabelle. As the girls approached Francis

There would be no boundary separating the school and the community. This would come in the form of allowing parents and caretakers in the community a way to view the teachers that are being hired and then be able to help with the school in ways that makes parents have to get involved with their children. The school becomes more than just a place that parents just drop off their children and go about their day. But it becomes a place that reassure parents that their children are safe, not by just word of mouth, but by allowing parents to come and get a hands on experience with the school. One thing that no one really mentioned was the impact that the community center has on the neighborhood. It is the place that the people in the neighborhood can come to feel safe, the neutral ground of the whole community. This is the Exosystem of the entire neighborhood, it is the place that all the individual goes for technology, for food, and for safety. This could be the place that parents can come and get information about what is going on with the school also, if the school partner with the

Amber and Miranda were two roommates at the University of West Georgia. They became very close friends over the course of the semester. They even shared many classes together. Amber was a free spirit. She didn’t always want to be bogged down with homework so she usually did just enough work to get by. Miranda was quite the opposite. She was always hitting the books, but this did affect her social life considerably. Amber disliked that Miranda would never take any time for herself to do anything fun.

On the other hand, the schools there were all schools where education came first, but one thing that can be changed about the school would be to get improved security guards in order to protect the students more and keep the students from any injury, mischief, or threat. Service volunteers should also be used in the community to make the community a healthier place by picking up trash and cleaning the community, making it a restored living

If I had the authority to change my community in a positive way, I would create programs to encourage young children to spend time with people who are different than them. Since Northampton is not the most diverse place, many children are not exposed to many people who are of different races, cultures, religions or other factors. Since young children do not really care about differences in people, I believe that by fostering a sense of community and friendship between young children and those who are different from them in some way, the children will grow up to be more tolerant and accepting. I know from personal experience that many people are afraid of or do not like those who are different than them. Growing up, I had a friend who had special needs. However, I did not see his special needs, I just saw him as a friend. Many of my peers who met him when we were older did not see him the same way that I did, as they saw him for his special needs, not for the awesome person he is. I give a lot of credit for being a tolerant and kind person to having known my friend and others who are different than me.

style in order to maintain a positive relationship with all of the students and to actively discuss issues that arise in the classroom. The third style, compromising style, is similar to that of the collaboration style and can be used in non-emergency daily conflicts. The main focus in the compromising style strategy is to ensure that all parties are satisfied (Pollan, 2012). The fourth style accommodates to one party to meet their needs leaving the other party involved less satisfied (Pollan, 2012). The last style of conflict resolution is avoiding style where conflict is completely avoided altogether (Pollan, 2012). The last two styles of conflict resolution are not ideal for classroom situations because some students may not be satisfied

Instead of starting class focused on conflict, make yourself look for things that are positive. Encourage positive reinforcement. Praise your students for their endeavors and appreciate their effort.

Gossip, inefficiencies, and differing beliefs can create conflict in educational settings, where red tape and policies can make it difficult for leaders to intervene and manage conflict. The purpose of this study is to determine how leaders manage conflict in educational settings. The main focus questions of the study are:

Rutherford and Rissel (2004) conducted a study focused on types of conflicts occurring in school where students could help resolve the conflicts. Thus, several questions concerning knowledge about and use of peer mediation. Based on the methodology used, school faculty was asked for ideas on how to increase the effectiveness of peer mediation. They
