Psychosocial Development And Classroom Management

It also targets specific skills, which means when the teacher is clearly aware of the targeted behaviour and the objectives of the strategy, which makes it easier for teachers to assess and adapt the strategy. The other advantage is that the child does experience confusion in understanding the aim of the lesson and the behaviour that is expected of them. DI not only teaches the child new skills but also provides the child with several opportunities to review and practice these skills in different settings. Mitchell (2014) says the plasticity of the developing brain allows children to learn new things when the child reviews and practices these newly learnt skills and over a period of time gain confidence in using it. The brain makes new connections to the surviving structure and strengthens the connections. This is especially important as children in their early years are in their prime to learn specific emotional skills, which will impact their behavioural skills. Having positive experiences and opportunities to practice these skills strengthens the experience and enhances the

Preparing to teach young children is an intense process, Tal agrees when he says “Leading the classroom proactively while remaining alert to various people, behaviors, and others factors necessitates thoughtful and complex planning” (145).

A. The teacher classroom manages the classroom in an extremely positive manner, and is strong on positive reinforcements. When she speaks to her students, her voice is soft and calm which allows her students to remain calm to correct their behavior. Students are aware of the classroom expectations and the proper behavior when they are working with other students. When the class is transitoning between activities she is clear with what they are expected to do, and how it should look like. When the whole class is not able to complete the task she does ask them to correct the behavior and allows them a second opportunity to successfully transition. Positive classroom management shows that students behave in a positive way and are less likely to

In the article, “Building a Better Brain is within Every Student’s Power” author Judy Willis states that when people empower themselves with a basic understanding of how their brain learns and remember it gives them the most potent keys to success in school, careers, relationships, and every other aspect of their lives. Many things help the brain learn like influences on intelligence, emotional state, a positive emotional state, incremental progress, and knowing how to construct patterns.

In Psychology 101, you learn about a personal fable; something that I have not lost. I have always wanted to change the world that I was destined for greatness and teaching elementary school students gives me that power. In the words of Nelson Mandela, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Educators who have a background in the neurobiology of learning and memory have a different benefit in their classrooms. They noticed that by following the brain-based teaching principles we can establish an enhanced, brain-compatible environment and successfully work with such existing negative effects as stress, sleep deprivation, and poor nutrition. Ronal Kotulak said” an enriched environment can contribute up to 25% increase in the number of brain connections both early and later in life. Our environments need to allow for active manipulation.” (Kotulak, 1996, p.102). According to brain research, there are at least twelve principles of brain-compatible learning.

Our education system today is in a state of flagrant disrepair. Educators rely on outdated modes of instruction to teach children. Instead of examining these methods administrators spend time and effort developing more intensive assessments in hopes of fueling more intense learning. In order to successfully impact learning teachers must begin teaching in ways that guarantee to impart new knowledge. Brain-based learning is a newer concept in education that addresses the specific needs of a learner’s brain in order to maximize learning. Brain-based learning as defined by author and educator Eric Jensen is “the engagement of strategies based on principles derived from an understanding of the brain,” (2010, p.4). Because educators do not

This situation could have been different if the petitioner would have responded in a timely manner. Instead, the petitioner did not accept the notice to appear and sent the notice back to the postal service. If the petitioner had moved then they should have forward their address. No assisting that the HISD provided to the petitioner was good enough for the petitioner. I believe if the petitioner would have observed the progress that their child was making compared to the progress before the BSC classroom and counseling. They would have not tried to sue the school

In terms of overall student behavior modification and incentives to learning, are the punitive practices of negative reinforcement by means of exclusion, chastisement and even corporal punishment outdated modes of classroom management and discipline? Dr. Martin Seligman couldn’t agree more. According to his theories and philosophies, Seligman believes that positive psychology in education not only creates a healthy, stimulating learning environment, but it can also decrease depression in younger people. While incorporating his expertise on positive psychology into education, Seligman uses his PERMA model (the five elements of well-being) to teach in schools to help the student’s well-being and to flourish:

The study of Educational Psychology pairs the science of psychology to educational practices and provides teachers with evidence-based knowledge to support their day-to-day decision making in the classroom (PowerPoint, Mullin). Therefore, it is no surprise that many educational psychologists focus their research and understanding on learning theories about how the human brain processes and stores new information. Learning incorporates 3 critical components; permanent, change, and experience. When written in a sentence together, learning is any relatively permanent change in an organism that results from experience (PowerPoint, Mullin). One domain of learning theories named

The study shows every time when pushing the students out of their comfort zone to learn something new or difficult, they neuron become new stronger connections. Over time, the students can get smarter. What can we do to help? Created the kids who are hardy and resilience, not praise the intelligent or talents because this has been failed. We as the teachers should praise the process for the students to increase the learning ability to engage, effort, strategy, progress, and improvement. We should make the students think they have the power to believe that they can improve and challenge themselves. Instead of telling a student or showing the grade that they are failing the class, we should tell them that they are not yet. Not yet doesn’t mean they are the failures, they are moving on to challenge

What do I think about positive guidance? In my opinion, positive guidance simply means to guide many children’s behavior throughout the school day from using acceptable behaviors, modeling empathy and respect, and creating suitable rules and routines in the classroom. Why positive guidance is important in the classroom for me as a teacher? As a teacher, positive guidance is important in the classroom for me because I want to give the students a fun but a more structured learning environment, becoming authoritative when communicating with my students, and establishing teamwork sessions in my classroom with my students. In ECD 105, I have learned why guidance and classroom management is important and how to use it appropriately in the classroom. Taking this guidance and classroom management class was so important to me because you get to learn all kinds of information about positive child guidance and child development. How can I use social competence to develop positive relationships for students in my classroom? As the children’s teacher, I will plan to use social competence to develop positive relationships for my students in my classroom from helping them to gain their confidence, becoming socially competent, and teaching them how to get along with their friends at school. What do I need to know as an educator to know about social competence? As an educator, I need to know of how challenged I can be when I am educating students of a high level of literacy to meet the demands of an internationally global society. How can I plan to establish a positive teacher-student relationship with my students in the classroom? As the students’ teacher, I will plan to establish a positive teacher-student relationship my students because I will need to get on the child’s level to make an interaction with them face to face, listening to them and also have them to listen to others around them. How can I build a community with my students in my classroom? In my classroom, I want to be able to build a community with my students from learning my students’ names, having classroom discussions and meetings, using positive touch, being fully conscious, and establishing rules and routines for students to know the expectations in my

Classroom management is a popular topic in education. Teachers are always looking for ways to improve their classroom environment, or new ways to deal with problem behaviors. For every person who has ever worked with children, there is an idea, a theory, as to how to best meet children’s needs. Early theorists provide the basis for many current behavior management ideas, and often include a combination of ideas. Theorists such as Abraham Maslow, Rudolf Dreikurs, William Glasser, and Stanley Coppersmith offer insight into the behavior and motivations of children that help teachers design strategies to prevent disruption and provide a positive learning environment for all students.

I believe everyone has a right to a challenging and inspiring education. Today, we face the monumental challenge of making this a reality. Sal Khan’s book The One World Schoolhouse, illustrating a reimagined vision for education, fascinates me. I would like to learn more about psychology and neuroscience. By better understanding the different ways people process information and the different ways the mind works, I hope to make learning a more imaginative, engaging, and efficient experience for students.

Both the brain-based theorists and Glasser agree that there are differences between learners. Glasser suggests that schools need to adapt instruction and curriculum for some students, because not every student is the same. Acknowledgement of learner variability is consistent with brain based research. Another similarity between brain-based research and Glasser is that they believe that learners need to wrestle with what they’re learning rather than to be “spoon fed”. Teachers often do too much for the student to a point where the student’s choice and attention is ignored. Brain-based research shows that arousal stimulates the brain activity and memory, so if there the content is impossible to understand then the student won’t pay attention. An approach consistent with Choice Theory and brain-based learning would be to present material in its messy form, but also using prior
