Narrative Report

Findings from a recent Ofsted report have shown that low-level disruption in the classroom is causing pupils to potentially lose up to one hour of learning each day, and that this may have a detrimental impact on their life chances (Ofsted, 2014). Difficulties managing behavior is a commonly reported source of stress and burnout among teachers, and is resulting in a substantial number leaving the profession within 5 years (Ford et al, 2012). Disruptive behaviour is not only stressful for teachers, but it can be unsettling for pupils, can hinder pupils enjoyment of school and can prevent pupils from fulfilling their potential (Gorard, 2010). Although there has never been a time when all pupils behaved well, all of the time (Viser, 2005), it is important that teachers have a good understanding of the challenges they may face in the classroom, and are equipped with effective strategies to help them manage classroom behaviour. After all, effective behaviour management and discipline in schools is a crucial to ensuring academic success and a positive and safe learning environment (Luisellia et al, 2005).

Teaching is an extremely important profession as we are responsible for training up the future generations of our community, country and in effect, the world. In order to be a successful and effective teacher there are some basic skills and competencies that one must possess. The experiences that students have inside (and outside) our classrooms, schools and various other institutes will shape and mould their approach to our subjects and to life in general. Therefore, it requires a certain level of skill and training to be deemed professionally fit to enter into this career path and even then, continuous

We must report any inappropriate behaviour to the class teacher and take action where appropriate. We must be fair and consistent when applying the school procedures to ensure that the pupils are treated equally. If pupils who behave badly are treated differently, or in their eyes unfairly, they will become confused of their boundaries and unsure of what is expected of them. Treating misbehaving children differently will have a negative impact on future behaviour.

Poor behaviour: If any of the pupils are not focused due to poor behaviour you need to intervene straightaway. If pupils are able to continue interrupting they will do so. Always praise the good behaviour of pupils who are doing what they need to. As a last resort, if one particular pupil

However, handling and disciplining a special child have no difference in setting up rules and discipline. Considering their culture, and understanding student’s individuality, they are also individual who needs respect and more guidance to make their behaviour acceptable in society. Though they also learn in different ways and in different rate, still it is important to employ various strategies for helping a special child learn how to appropriately behave in the classroom. Such as positioning myself near my student, catching her eye, or gently touching her shoulder is my way of bringing her back to focus and I found out that those are effective strategy, a subtle reminder that I’m aware of her actions. Verbally reminding the student how to act appropriately or inviting him/her to make an appropriate choice is

Positive relationship between teachers and pupils are necessary to provide a good environment for children to feel safe and happy enough to concentrate on their education. Effective communication has to cover social interaction between children and other children, adults amongst other adults at school as well. If there are any problems in that area the support for each other will be less effective and also information will be passed on more reluctantly. A positive relationship between adults working at school helps to build and maintain highly effective team that works together to provide the best learning environment for children. They will confidently share their thoughts and ideas without hesitation that somebody will listen to them without ignoring them or laugh about them. If the adult doesn’t follow the rule ‘firm and fair’ they will have problems to manage the behaviour of the children and they either lose the respect or they stop being cooperative during the lessons out of dislike. The consequences will have an impact on the whole learning environment. If the member of staff doesn’t listen properly the children will not feel understood and valued and they might get a lower self-steam because they get the impression that they are not important enough. The children will only learn that you have to be loud and aggressive to make adults listen to them, which would be a reward for bad behaviour. The impression that adults do not listen can also happen when

On 04/14/2016 at 2315 hours your Affiant was dispatched to 109 E. Center St. Apartment Upper for an overdose. Upon arriving on scene EMS was tending to the overdose patient. Your Affiant spoke with a female in the apartment who identified herself as Tiara Pleva while Stamets spoke with the male who lived in the apartment Aaron Campbell. Pleva stated Conrad shot up with heroin. Your Affiant asked where the heroin if any left and empty baggies are, and needle Conrad used. Pleva stated she does not know where any of the stuff is.

There are many problems that new teachers face in the classroom and many were unexpected to me and I was unprepared. Class sizes were large, classes were diverse and funding was scarce. The largest problem I encountered was finding solutions for dealing with misbehaved students. The Tough Kid was written to address these problems and guide new teachers in the classroom. The authors state the many problems of discipline and classroom management for new teachers and provide a guide or as they say “cookbook” for all teachers to follow. Most of the discipline issues are from the unpreparedness of the teacher. This was definitely a skill I did not have when I started the job as I wasn’t prepared for the forty-eight students that would be arrested over the course of the year. The chapters of this book show tactics, lessons, and practical information that gives you an opportunity to keep your students disciplined and engaged.

There is a certain environment that is critical for learning to take place. If the boys are always too noisy, too aggressive or too boisterous, then, of course, they are going to have to face the consequences of their actions.

On 8/25/17, I attended Mr. Barrera’s follow-up appointment with Dr. Dietzel to evaluate the status of his left shoulder postoperative. X-rays were taken prior to him being seen.

needs are met and they feel as if they are respected by the teacher. Mutual respect is once again

During my learning experience, I had the opportunity to re-skill myself and learn new strategies to support my mission as a teacher. Recently, the Practicum course has helped me live an authentic experience by transferring my learning and understanding into reality. I share knowledge, experience, and communication, which increase my awareness in a way to understand the change and implement new ways of

Every fourth-year teacher trainees will have to conduct practicum and will work under the guideline of their associate teachers and supervisors. The purpose of doing the practicum are to put training into practice, to become accustomed to teaching in the tertiary school settings, and to develop and expand each trainee’s teaching expertise and confidence. In the following paragraph, I will express what I have learnt from doing practicum to reflect on my past teaching strengths and weaknesses from the teaching practicum.

It is also very important to maintain complete respect for the student. No matter what skill level a student has they should be treated equally to all other students. "The secret of Education lies in respecting the pupil. It is not for you to choose what he shall know, what he shall do" (Education). The student chooses whether or not they want to be educated, one cannot force knowledge upon a student. Teachers should encourage students and provide them the tools to learn, not force students or put them down.
