Paul Hawkin’s once said, “Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them” (Hawkins) This quote is so very true in the realm of education. In middle grades, students attend school just for the socialization. This can cause many disturbances during the school day. They are all going through a tough time just wanting to fit in somewhere. Some student may be in fear of participating in class activities because it may not be cool. Some kids may fail a class because they would be a nerd if they cared about their grades. Dating relationships also cause havoc on students this age. This two students may be a couple one minute and the next …show more content…
All children do not learn the same, so how can I just pick one way and teach that way all the time? If I conducted my class this way, the majority of my students will become bored which will be wasting my time and theirs. I want my students to tell me what they are interested in, so I can maybe plan my lessons around that. High stakes testing has become the main teaching element. Teachers teach for the test and do not have time to teach for everyday lives. I understand that we will have these tests and I have to deal with that, but we need to teach for everyday lives as well as the tests.
William Glasser’s Student Needs theory “focuses on personal choice, personal responsibility, and personal transformation” (Classroom Management Theorists and Theories/William Glasser, 2011, para. 2). According to Glasser, “all living creatures control their behavior to fulfill their need for satisfaction in one or more of the five areas: survival, to belong or be loved by others, power and importance, freedom and independence, and to have fun” (Classroom Management Theorists and Theories/William Glasser, 2011, para. 3). There are ten axioms used to describe this theory which include: we can only control our own behavior, information is the only thing we can give other people, relationship problems create long lasting psychological problems, present life situations always include problem relationships, our past has
Glasser asserts that in order to understand one another, we must recognize the factors that influence human behavior. According to Choice Theory, all student actions are driven by an attempt to fulfill one of the 5 basic needs of survival, love/belonging, freedom, fun, and power. Instead of reacting to student behavior with rewards and punishments, Glasser prefers to
2.2. It is important to select a number of teaching and learning approaches as individuals can face a number of barriers causing them difficulty to learn. Maslows (1987) Hierarchy of Needs shows that if all five aspects of this theory are met, which are, self actualisation, self esteem recognition, safety/security and physiological it creates a healthy environment for learners to progress and achieve their goal.
"Middle school kids need to have unwinding and reflecting time just as adults do," Meyer tells Education World. The principal and assistant principal are responsible for supervising the kids and
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (Petty, 2004) theory best describes the needs of people to achieve their best through growth, the need to progress; teachers assist with this therefore ensuring the aforementioned are maintained, valued and practiced by all involved, the teacher will be best placed to develop good relationships with learners and colleagues thus encouraging a more relaxed environment enhancing the whole learning experience.
Federal police are several agencies working to together to combat crime that affects the country as a whole. Federal police function to enforce the United States Code. For example federal police assist with interstate commerce issues, interstate criminal activities, terrorism, international crimes, and assist state and local police also.
School is a crucial part of a person’s life due to the amount of knowledge and successability a person might gain in their future. School can also be a place where students can interact with their fellow friends, but for others it can be a traumatizing place due to the amount of stress and also responsibility they might carry . This can be because of the stress teachers may put on the students. This can lead to students not giving their full effort on school, which will cause them to be mediocre students, and they wouldn’t be able to show their teacher the true potential they carry within themselves. These types of students are the one’s who are typically the students that aren’t successful in school. They just don’t
Some of these models are very rigid, and orderly, such as the quasi-military style model, where the organization functions much like a military unit, such as the swat teams do, where battle dress uniforms are worn and military style tactics are employed for all training, this style of policing is more widely accepted at the local and state level of policing.
The Middle School years reflect on the child falling into patterns of certain behaviors and habits. This is the age where students will begin to form their study habits and focus on their social groups and connections, which in some cases can take president over their schooling. However, when a child applies themselves great growth can occur. According to School and Children: The Middle School Years, “children are thought to be functioning developmentally at what Piaget termed the concrete and formal operational stages. During this phase, basic literacy as well as computational and conceptual skills are acquired.” (Epps & Smith, 1984) Students during this phase of growth and development can work on harder skills and make greater connections between their education and their world.
This paper analyzes five great management theorists: F. W. Taylor, Max Weber, Mary Parker Follett, and Douglas McGregor. Each theorist will be compared by four management functions: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling as detailed in the textbook: The Essentials of Contemporary Management-Sixth Edition from Gareth Jones and Jennifer M. George. We begin by discussing commerce prior the industrial revolution and then we define the key management functions, followed by an examination of each theorist, applying a template of analysis and critique.
When entering the middle school profession, it is important to remember who we are there to serve, the students who are there to learn. When looking at this I cannot help but think of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and more importantly how as an educator, I can serve those needs more effectively. With students growing up more rapidly than ever before, teachers must strive to understand their swinging emotions, test their moral boundaries, and challenge them in their learning. It is safe to say that these needs will take time and effort to meet. I believe that as an educator, I am responsible for meeting these needs through challenging coursework, making time to allow my students to socialize, and allowing my students to trust that I can help them emotionally if they require it. These are just a few steps that I can take to advance my philosophy.
Management has experienced remarkable shifts in the way that organizations conduct business particularly in the last century, due to the evolving workplace as well as tremendous changes in the roles of leaders in organizations. Early managers often relied on authoritative tactics to get the job done, which we have learned from history does not work very well for many modern organizations. In this paper, I will be analyzing the management approach my organization takes and whether this is the best approach to meet organizational goals and whether or not my organization may benefit from adopting a different approach or combining multiple approaches.
With the support of relevant examples, examine the development of management theories and how these theories may affect the management practices in PRIMARK:
With the rapid change of the world, thought of management, theory and practise keeps on changing. It has been transformed through innovation. Taking into consideration the uncertainty surrounding the construction industry, it is essential paying attention to how people work within an organisation that has set goals that needs to be achieved. To be able to achieve these objectives, it is necessary to understand management relating issues such as culture, motivation, leadership and issues relating like coordinating, planning and controlling. Understanding the way people and organisations work is very vital when it comes to the built environment. As a Quantity Surveyor some of my duties are to deals with people, technical
The paper will explore different theories of Management, include Henri Fayol and Henry Mintzberg. This section of this paper provides an overview of functions, roles and skills required of a manager. What is Management? Management can define as the process of reaching organisational goals by working with and through people and other organisational resources. (Management Innovation, 2008).
The main focus behind the development of management theory is the quest for good ways to make use of managerial means. Management theory evolves constantly with the continuous stream of new ideas that come from the attempts to transform theory into practice, and vice versa (Aguinaldo & Powell, 2002). Progression in management theory normal happen as key personnel discover great methods to accomplish the most important management responsibilities: planning, organiz-ing, leading, and controlling human and other managerial means. This paper will show how man-agement theory having to do with suitable management processes has emerge in modern times, and view the main aspects that have led to its prosperity.
