After watching the first minute of the video, my response was just absolutely baffled. I could not fathom as to why a teacher would cause her students to become so discriminatory against one another. I could not understand what she could possibly hope to prove by allowing such bullying and discrimination to occur in her classroom. Even knowing that this was an exercise implemented to help teach students about diversity, I could not put the pieces of the exercise together and see how it can transform
As a future teacher it is my goal to not only help the children learn the core body of knowledge and skills necessary to be an acceptable member of society, but also to help children discover their own interest in a safe learning environment. I believe it is very important to use different instructional methods, different assessment methods, and effective classroom management techniques. To establish the learning style of each child, I want my students to be able to express themselves and be creative
Middle school students, also known as adolescents, aged ten through fifteen go through a massive change of life. These students are transitioning from being a child to being a mature adult. Development will range depending on the student. Some fifteen-year-old students may act and look like a ten-year-old student, while some ten-year-old students may act and look like a fifteen-year-old student. The main areas of development at these ages include Intellectual, Emotional, Physical, Sexual, Social
My schooling experiences formed a positive outlook on American education. Throughout my schooling, I was fortunate to have the most influential teachers that assisted me into becoming who I am today. I was a student who struggled until the 8th grade. Luckily, my teachers took their time to tutor me one on one after and before school. One teacher, in particular, had the greatest impact on my education and is the reason why I did not give on learning. Reading and writing were my worst subjects, but
Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences To meet my students’ needs, I will begin supporting them psychologically, academically and develop classes that appeal to a wide range of different bits of intelligence. I am going to develop assorted techniques to construct my lesson activities that allow students to relate to the subject matter in ways that fit their interests, learning styles and strengths. I have many students who show abilities in different areas of intellect consequently
aspiring classroom teacher the management philosophy I believe that I agree with most is the assertive discipline by Lee and Marlene Cantor. The teacher should have the right and be responsible to tell the students what they see as an appropriate behavior and what is not as well as tell the students what is expected of them in the classroom. The teacher must create rules, rewards and consequences if this method is going to work in their classroom. They will also need the support of their students’ parents
study and Behavior Modification Plan Yanelis is one of my female students who is a compulsive talker and she is also behaving inappropriately in the classroom while I am training. To find an effective solution and deal with this problem I will initially make her aware of the unacceptable conduct that she is displaying.

improve in the area of collecting data about my students in order to guide my attempt at differentiated instruction. To determine if I succeeded in my course goal, I cited the need to implement and practice key concepts presented during the course. The purpose of collecting both types of data (student and teacher) was to juxtapose the measurable data and use the information to identify differentiated instruction techniques which suited my style of teaching and my teaching situation. Based on the outcomes
My Philosophy of Education Out of the four primary philosophical outlooks, I identify best with the existentialism philosophy; because this philosophy best fits my teaching style. I want my classroom to be a place where students discover their abilities, self-worth, and uniqueness as an individual by experiences within the classroom. This is my goal as an educator. Creativity and variety will be the two components I rely on to create my classroom. I intend to use lots of color and
Engaging students in the classroom can be a difficult task. Understanding the process of how students learn can help a teacher adapt the lesson to meet the needs of all students. I will encounter students that are not intrinsically motivated so I will need to find different ways to motivate each and every student. Understanding how my students learn can provide me with insights as to how to help each student learn which will minimize classroom management problems. It is important for my students to understand
