Mr. Adams Case Study Anthony

Michael was being disruptive in class and had to be removed by Ms. Cruz, School Counselor. He was making inappropriate noises, putting his feet on his desk and kneeling on his chair. When corrected he became argumentative and defiant toward Ms. Frazier. As Ms. Cruz was escorting him out of the classroom he pointed two fingers toward Ms. Frazier’s face and mocked what she was saying.

Aside from punishment for the entire class; an educator can establish positive reinforcement to encourage the more appropriate behavior. It can be proven that punishment only teaches a student what not to do, but without a reinforcement; the student will only be made aware of the negative behaviors he/she is exuding instead of what is also expected of them. One technique a teacher can use is shaping; when the final response is clearly identified and is begun by reinforcing any behavior that approximates a step towards the final response, no matter how remote. In the case of Billy, an educator should initially define expectations in detail; explain to the students what is to be expected of them while an educator is teaching a lesson and post classroom expectations up on the walls or go a step further and model the expectations. Because the students in this scenario are in elementary school, it is conducive to provide concise instructions about appropriate behavior and have the students practice; allowing them to fully understand what is accepted as appropriate behavior. Furthermore, the teacher should complement Billy when he is behaving in a positive manner such as, sitting quietly or paying attention to the lesson. Granted, Billy will still strive for the attention; this strategy

Recently, I witnessed a pupil at my setting using inappropriate language during a music lesson, where the class teacher was not present. I took the pupil to one side and bent to their level. I informed the pupil that the language they had used was both inappropriate and unacceptable. I told the pupil that I would be informing the class teacher of the incident and that should it happen again, I would be sending them straight to the head teacher’s office. Another child had overheard the inappropriate language and copied it. I took the same action with the second child, and then separated them, moving one child to the other side of the classroom. After the music lesson, I informed the class teacher of both incidents, who thanked me for my input and said that the pupils would need to be closely monitored for the rest of the day.

Misbehaving has many consequences. Children are taught to keep quiet when in silent places, and when they disrespect this rule, they are reprimanded. This is what happened today. Meredith entered the class and began speaking with her friends as she wrote down the agenda. The bell had not rung yet, so she believed it was still acceptable to socialize. She normally behaves this way before class begins. Many times during class she will make side commentary on the subject matter at hand, such as the book the class is reading or the practice

Later, I noticed that he sat closer to Alandra and he started leaning again. I discovered that they were watching a movie on Alandra’s cell phone. Once again, I instructed Fabio to move away from Alandra. I told him that he was supposed to be working on his sketch. Although he complied the first time, he resisted my second request to move. He also asked me why I wanted him to move. I did not negotiate with Fabio or entertain his question. In retrospect, I did not like his rude tone coupled with his disrespectful behavior. Ms. Wilkin, does he disrespect you during class

The student just wanted to avoid

After developing her status as a speaker, Adams appeal to logos in order to convince her to take full advantage of his opportunity in Paris. Highlighting John’s chance of facing adversity and dealing with temptation, Adams suggest that John might develop a “great character” if he embraced the difficulties he would face in Paris. For further support adams allude to historical figures who have prospered from “contending with difficulties”. Identifying potential benefits of listening to her advice convinces John Quincy that following his guidance is both good for him now as well as beneficial in the

The classroom I am observing this day, during free time Gael was in the area of the blocks, he was playing alone, but Noah approached him and he took it off and threw the blocks that was under construction. Gael immediately pushed him and tried to bite him what Noah also hit him. The two were screaming saying that the blocks were of them. The teacher intervened and she told both it was a consequence for the disruptive behavior, and put them both in a time out for some minutes, she put each one of them on opposite corners from each other. During time out, Gael and Noah, both seemed unhappy with not being able to play. Gael began to cry. The teacher didn’t remove Gael or Noah from their time out until the free time was over with. When

After the music class was finished, the ISP1 students got their tickets for their behavior and participation. Robin did not get any tickets because of his poor performance; he cried and screamed. He was clearly upset, and he said, "I'm gonna break this" to lift up the keyboard piano over his head to throw, but I was able to retrieve it before that happened. Then he picked up a wooden chair and tried to throw it from the stage. Again, the aide and I were able to stop his action. Fortunately no one got hurt, but it was a very dangerous situation caused by

If all of these photographers were having dinner together, Adams and Watkins would talk there time they spent in Yosemite. Adams would appraise Watkins on how he was trying preserve Yosemite national park long before it was a national park. Adam would bring up how he serve in the Sierra Club, which is a group dedicated to protecting the wild places of the earth. Avedon would ask Watkins what was it like to carry a mammoth-plate and stereoscopic camera around Yosemite taken photographs. Watkins would probably say how it was a pain in the butt to lug around such a large piece of equipment and they would all laugh. Watkins and Avedon then would discuss how they both grew up in New York. Avedon childhood and adulthood is much more different since

He began the morning by ignoring the class lecture and refusing to participate. I asked the student to put away his phone when I caught him texting instead of doing his work. The student told me to chill and wait. He said he would put his phone away in a bit. I told him he was on his last warning. The student began to argue back and told me how he wanted me to run the class. I sent the student home and asked him not to return. He said he did not care and would be back next term.

It almost feels like this falls under ethical responsibilities to the children. The teacher should ensure they are creating a safe, healthy, nurturing, and responsive setting for each child (Gartell, 2013). By the parent/director allowing the child to act out, the parent/director was not putting the needs of the other children first. I say this because, the director is teaching the other children that it is ok to act that way. In addition, if the parent/director was treating their child differently, such as favoring, the other children could potentially pick up on this as well. The parent/director should facilitate cooperative and individual activities so that each child can experience success (Gartell, 2013). By not addressing the behavior of their child, this sends mixed messages to the class. In addition, this does not allow the children the opportunity to cope with the behavior, hence allowing for a healthy class environment (Morrison, 2014) as the parent/director is utilizing
