Mr. Langford's Loss Of Commitment

After reading the passage, Grahams interactions with the students are well presented, also some of his characteristics. As noted above, he has a funny sense of humor, he is not mean, and he is someone you would want for a teacher.

A tyrant of his times, Mr.Hundert was anything but liberal in terms of the rules of his classroom. Knowing just what he wanted and how he wanted it done Mr.Hudnert surely was not going to allow the negligence of a student stand in the way of his strident teaching in which he claims that he “...gave service there to the minds of three generations of boys and

When asked how he became such a good mentor he replied that he did not think he was a good mentor at all. This to many of his former students is not true. Thinking of what many of his former students lives would be like without out him in it, and they would not be the men and women they are today. He also believes that he got more out of the relationships with them than he gave. This is not case for many of his former students. He has had his house robbed by young men that he was mentoring. Earl did not get mad or yell and scream. He did press charges on the third time the same young man robbed his house. He also visited the young man in jail every weekend and even put money on his books. Earl is amazing in that way he is always there for you even when you are messing up. He will not judge you. Now, that is not to say there are not consequences for the choice that you make. He just does not get mad, well at least he does not show when he is mad. I strive to do this in my own life and find it difficult at times, where it appears so easy for

Imagine you, along with hundreds of other people were trapped, and tormented on an island. A man tortured you as part of a “game”. You are scared and hiding and have no idea when the general will come for you. You suffer for 72 hours of battling for your life. You are the first person ever to survive the island. You have two options, to leave the island and live your normal life, or become the torturer to the next people that come to your island. What are you going to choose?

Mr. Clark did the same thing any good OD practitioner would do. He spot out the bad seeds, and removed them from spoiling the whole. This allowed the students to feel safe, and earn the trust of Mr. Clark. Mr. Clark does a great job with his leadership skills by instantly letting everyone know his rules, and what the consequences will be if you break those rules. He discusses to students and teachers alike his goals for the school and what he expects out of everyone. Mr. Clark is very strong

This standard says, “Teachers reflect on their practice and assume responsibility for their own professional development by actively seeking and participating in opportunities to learn and grow as professionals.” This means that teachers consistently seek to improve their practices and teachings by eliciting feedback from peers, more experienced educators and even the students themselves. In this lesson, I was asked to reflect on what I felt went well and what could have been improved upon. After teaching the lesson, I remember wishing that I had another class period. Therefore, I knew that I could have improved the time management of the lesson and that I could have encouraged faster transitional periods. I also asked my cooperating teacher how she felt the lesson went. She had agreed that the lesson went very well and that it was educationally valuable for her students, but that I could also improve on transitioning the students from task to task. I was lucky enough to have a student come up to me by the end of the class to ask about college and the courses that are offered at our university. He also expressed which areas of study he was most interested in. I was surprised when he thanked me for the lesson and said, “that’s the kind of stuff I want to be learning and talking about.” While I do greatly value the feedback from the teacher, I will always remember what this student said because it solidified my desire to continue doing

Your interview with Mrs. Marybeth Elswick was absorbing. I liked the questions and answers that you asked her and she gave you. I like what Mrs. Elswick said about handling the classroom discipline. I know as a future teacher I will take that into consideration. I also agree with Mrs. Elswick about if teachers should be responsible for their student's performance. When you are a teacher, you are being told how to teach daily and not letting things go your way. Even the questions paper you set applies to scrutiny and your notes too. Then what are the form of a teacher? And the second point should be you are held responsible for students performance.

This is also a great example of another of Coach Wooden’s favorite lines, “it’s what the teachers are themselves” (as cited in Nater and Gallimore, 2010, loc. 2216). I need to set a better example as a father so that my children learn the correct way to behave and not because I said so but because I showed them how. Throughout this course I have thought about my future as a high school teacher and about how difficult it will be to do it the right way, like Coach Wooden did. Learning about all of the things he did to be successful as a teacher and coach were discouraging at times because I felt that I would not be able to do everything he did and still find time to sleep at night. I now realize that to truly teach like coach wooden, I need to set myself up to be the best me possible and constantly find ways to improve every day. Then I can proudly accept the consequences knowing that I tried and even if I did not reach my goals, I can find satisfaction in my

As a viewer, I felt very comfortable with Sir Robinson, as he spoke in such an elegant and mild-mannered tone, along with humorous jokes, and sensible logic. The mood of the talk was upbeat thanks to Robinson’s charisma, and was not weighted down by the rather dark subject including the possibility of school having a negative impact on our lives. Sir Robinson’s argument was strong, and was biased without appearing to be by using a playful dialogue. Robinson, an educator, certainly has a biased look, but he doesn’t let that falter him by providing reasonable stories and logic to the audience, emotionally compromising them and making them vulnerable to

Dr. Gosby’s Comments: This student did an excellent job of applying the ideas we discussed in class relating to the obedience to authority

I also just can’t help but be inspired by great leaders throughout history who saw a change and then made it happen, and although my knowledge is limited, I admire and am encouraged by them. Specifically I have learned so much about African-Americans’ struggle throughout history, and how it is still an issue today. Understanding the past of issues really helps with the way we perceive it today. I’ve also learned not to judge people, and to never write someone off based on a single experience. To be honest Mr.Peters, first semester I did not really like you. It was nothing about your personality, I was just struggling in the class and I projected my frustrations onto you. And although you gave me my first B, I have come to love and respect you as a teacher. Now, you’re my favorite teacher, and I’m sad that this year is over. I appreciate your constantly positive demeanor and the way you joke around

I have known Darren Murphy for 16 years and it has remained one of the most rewarding experiences of my career as a professional educator. Darren was a Northview faculty member before I arrived at the school. We both served as RSP teachers and Darren supported me as I learned my new trade. Darren has the perfect temperament for all students. He is warm and fair and has great concern for his students’ welfare.

I feel the same way Bessie did when she said she didn't understand why she would would hear these white people were doing such terrible things to black people. See i'm known for being a flower child, advocating love even if means rebelling against what society wants, I view all lives as equal and I dont discriminate for someone's race, gender, sexualtiy, their background, etc.. Thats not to say I didn't grow up hearing about it like bessie did, and like Bessie, I still hear it today. I’ve just always viewed it as ridiculous to think someone was inferior for something they were born into or something they want.

There is no wrong or right answer for the legalization of all forms of drugs. Studies have shown the positive and negative long-term consequences of drug use. In the following we will discuss pros and cons:

It seems that each new day brings a new way that those in power are conspiring against us (“us” being Roman Catholics). It all started with a lie. Sweet Queen Catherine has, most unfortunately, been unable to produce an heir for the king; therefore, his brother, James, is the rightful successor to the throne of England (Kraft). However, the king also has an illegitimate son whom he cherishes, James, the Duke of Monmouth (Kraft). At face value, the problem seems nonexistent—of course the king’s brother should ascend the throne. But there is a problem! James II is a Catholic, as is the Queen. The Duke of Monmouth is not. There are many who are so blinded by their prejudices that they would rather anyone but a Catholic sit on the
