Example Two: Building teacher student relationships through expectations, respect, support and trust to develop learning.
A relationship between teacher and students is a mutual connection built on expectations, respect, support and trust. After getting acquainted, the challenge is to build a lasting teacher student relationship to develop continuous learning, especially for Indigenous children. A teacher having high expectations will serve to build relationships and improve learning outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. “Indeed, Chris Sarra argues that it is the tide of low teacher expectations that has held Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students back in the classroom. He suggests that high academic expectations
Teachers rarely interact with students without some expectancies about how they will perform academically (Trouilloud, 2002). Trouilloud asserts that expectations are thought out as assumptions that teachers make about the academic performance of their students, based on the information they know about their students (Trouilloud, 2002). These assumptions can be either objective based on the student's past achievement or subjective based on teacher’s prejudices and stereotypes (Trouilloud, 2002). Trouilloud research revealed a strong connection between teachers expectation and students overall academic achievement (Trouilloud, 2002). In other words, the higher the expectation teachers have towards students, the higher the students’ academic achievement (Trouilloud, 2002).
Hi guys, today I am going to be talking about defining and deciding for the 5-D process. In order to decide what number to first use in your problem, you find the thing that has the least information, for example, "Sarah had 5 times and 1 less cookies than Cara, and Fey had 2 times as much as Cara. In all there was 103 cookies. How many cookies did each girl make?" In this problem you would start with Cara because she has the least information, so she would be first in our equation, represented by X. The results of total cookies Cara made will help us find out our other variables by giving us that base number to find the totals. For instance if Cara had made 13 cookies, to find how many Sarah had we would multiply X(5)-1 to equal 64 cookies,
Sarra’s Stronger Smarter Learning module encouraged me to reflect on my capacity to enhance the learning outcomes of Aboriginal students in the classroom. High expectations in Stronger Smarter Learning module means to expect the same from Aboriginal students like any other student. The module further teaches that embracing positive leadership and working with local Aboriginal community fosters positive student-teacher relationship. According to Price (2015), Aboriginal students need the education revolution that embraces the significance of their cultures which is the basis on which Aboriginal students establish the sense of personal identity and self-esteem. Thus, school culture plays a responsible role in creating a connection between community and curriculum for its Aboriginal students. DiAngelo (2011) believes that during cultural competency training one encounters a challenge to their racial understandings. After this module, my perspective of engaging Aboriginal students in the classroom as a culturally competent teacher is more respectful and
The important relationship building teachers must conduct with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students is another key issue teachers must keep in mind for working successfully with Indigenous students. Price (2012) argues that teachers hold a special place in the Indigenous community, especially with parents and caregivers. She states that by “mastering the craft” of teaching, you will be rewarded both personally and professionally over the years of your career (Price, 2012). Over the last 30 years, a number of prepositions have been put forward that will assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to become emotionally healthy, so they can live out their entitlement to becoming a dignified citizen of Australia and the world (Price, 2012).
Improving academic outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders is mired in inherited and contemporary difficulties. Because of poor policies and pedagogy, generations fear and lack confidence in the education system (Harrison and Sellwood, 2013). It is, therefore, imperative that teachers have a range of resources and strategies for adapting the curriculum to the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. This should include fostering pride in identity, making connections to community and land, and respecting language variation and culture. In doing so, teachers meet expectations for Australian professional teaching standards and the community.
Like many non-Aboriginal teacher’s, I have not a considerable amount of experience teaching and engaging with Aboriginal students. My comprehension and learning of utilizing correct terms to describe or speak of culture and worldviews are restricted. Having knowledge and understanding of these tools, is an absolute necessity to a successful teacher to all children and background. This reflection, on self and overview of the unit will be in connection to three sub topics and provide indigenous studies for all students, knowledge of all topics and achieving Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) standards (2017).
“Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.” –Hippocrates, 460-377 BC. If a Greek physician could make this statement over 2300 years ago, why is it such an under-exposed theory today? As stated in Chiropractic First, written by Dr. Rondberg, a chiropractor of 35 years and founder of the “Chiropractic Journal,” Hippocrates “believed that only nature could heal and it was the physician’s duty to remove any obstruction that would prevent the body from healing” (8-9). These “physicians” are called chiropractors today, and their goal is to remove subluxations, the displacement of two or more spinal disks that causes
The education system which has been operating in Australia and in New South Wales since the time of white settlement has failed to meet the minimal needs of Indigenous Australians. There is a long history of inadequacies in educational programs where Aboriginal Australians are concerned. Unfortunately, it has only been extremely recently (in approximately the last decade), that the importance of adapting the teaching styles in the classrooms to meet the needs of the Aboriginal children of New South Wales and Torres Straits Islanders has begun to be realised (Perry, 2006, 1-2). Part of this has been an acknowledgement that there are fundamental differences existing between the values of the Indigenous and the non-Indigenous Australian. To wit, Australian Aboriginal communities tend to make their focus the welfare of the group, while non-Indigenous Australians tend more to concern themselves with their own individual wellbeing (Harrison, 2004,
Standard one of the Aboriginal Cultural Standards Framework is Relationships. Positive student-teacher relationships play a crucial role in building a
Describe a range of barriers Factors that are a barrier for Aboriginal students’ feeling of being welcomed safe and supported in an educational setting would include inappropriate teaching materials and a lack of Aboriginal role models. Education for these Aboriginal students requires a link for them to their communities and informed parents. Additionally, Many of the Aboriginal students’ first language is not English, therefore a major barrier would be the English teaching Material as it prevents them from fully understanding the work. Also, most of these students due to their overcrowded homes would not be able to study or do Homework whilst they are home, which leads to them falling behind in work. “Even the brightest of students in these
On May 2, 2012, the National Football League lost one of its elite players to suicide: Junior Seau. Seau played for the Chargers, Dolphins, and the Patriots during his professional football career and was a 12-time Pro Bowler before retiring in 2009. Three years after his retirement however, Seau committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest with a gun. This greatly shocked the football world and its image of Junior Seau as a person, but it soon realized the cause for his action. Shortly after Seau’s death, researchers examined Seau’s brain and found that it contained a disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy which is formed
In their day-to-day teaching, the way they interact with students can be quite hurtful.” (RNW) Aboriginals are to Australia as Native Americans are to the United States of America. They are their native, indigenous people. RacismNoWay is an anti-racism education website for Australian schools. They conducted a study between interactions of Australian teachers and Aboriginal students. Aboriginal students were identified as being troublemakers and their discipline was more severe. Teachers spent less time with these children. Teachers also displayed racist behavior: racial abuse and vilification, negative comments about their student’s families and behavior based on race, prejudicial treatment, and making students feel guilty for getting extra money or benefits.

articles. Again, the search was very limited. Realizing the need to narrow the search, I then used the CINAHL Subject Headings as a component for my search. Subject Heading Search Keeping note that the keyword retrieval left me with 3,087 articles, I then used CINAHL Headings for my search. The CINAHL Heading search allows the search of literature with certain terms desired in the references. By typing “hand washing” under the CINAHL Heading and browsed, I was given terms that were related to hand washing. The terms were ranked based on the relevancy of importance related to the subject. Handwashing was the first term found and by clicking on its link, I was taken to a term detailed screen. Listed was handwashing under the “Tree View” terms, which are hierarchy groupings of subject headings. The subheadings were also found here. I chose handwashing and infection control. By clicking on the subheadings and the “Explode” link, I then gained access to articles that contained terms about handwashing or infection control. The “Explode” link is thought of as an operators of “OR”. It is used to find articles containing the keyword or other words as chosen. Once I exploded handwashing with infection control, I found myself with 1,626 articles
In the United States, starting salaries for teachers who have completed a four-year degree are far lower compared to many other professions, which also require a four-year degree. In most states, teachers must undergo testing and other rigorous certification requirements, but they are given the same consideration or status as beginning professionals in other areas. Although attractive incentives are offered, the compensation does not compare to the long hours of work and schooling required for a teaching career.
