Teacher Beliefs Survey

The sequence of data was used so that in=dept information are able to be retrieved from the participants and also be able to confirm or disapprove some of the claim retrieved from the first method used. Interview creates an opportunity to collect data on the view of beginner teachers on their experiences on their practices in the classroom. Observation and document analysis was on the actual classroom practices. Each school was visited 4 times where the first visit focused n the introduction of the study to the school.

Teacher questions and student responses: the types of questions teachers asked during a lesson and the way students responded.

The main problem that I perceive from the Case of Leigh Scott is that both Dale and Aaron are doing the same work, with the same grades yet one has an explicit learning disability who receives lots of support and the other is not receiving enough support. Dale has a clear learning disability and thus receives not only support from Meg, the resource room teacher, who “helped Dale prepare for Leigh’s class” (Leigh Scott: Case Study, p. 29), he also receives support and encouragement from Leigh even though he does not do much work. Aaron on the other hand receives little to no support from Leigh even though he has constantly not come to class prepared, puts his head down during discussions and has done poorly on his assignments.

The author performed two separate interviews face-to-face, selecting two individuals with different backgrounds in order to obtain unique perspectives. The first interviewee, named Jennifer Hodge, works for Allen ISD as a special education teacher for a self-contained DEAR (Developing Early Academics Readiness) class for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. In addition, her experience includes teaching for 22 years, with seven of those years teaching students with disabilities in both self-contained classrooms along with resource and inclusion environments. The meeting to discuss psychoeducational testing occurred in Jennifer’s work place during her conference period over a 45 minute period on Friday, August 28, 2015. The second

Internal validity of this study included data collection process and student personal interest in education. For example, students may have scored in exam because they concern about their own education. Reliability of this study instrument has not been tested. This is the first time this group will have this survey. There is no former survey to use as a standard to see if there are many changes.

What have you learned from the assessment, guided reading, and tutoring experiences that you would be able to apply in your future classroom?

For the purpose of this interview the students will be known as G.S. or group of students, the novice teacher will be known as N.T. and the veteran teacher will be known as V.T. All three participants were asked the exact same questions but the teachers were asked a few more questions as they related to their classrooms.

Justification:There are a lot of sample questions for teachers to give students. Yet, there’s only one type of question, where there should be a few questions for each concept to ensure students’ understanding.

For many students who live in low-income areas they are not getting a quality education because they are kids of color. As racial segregation has made a comeback into the U.S public schools, there are differences in how kids of color and white children are receiving their education. Throughout this essay I will be talking about how teachers associate kids of color with not being smart, outside factors contribute to a low-income child’s education, and the quality of education kids of color receive in rural areas isn’t excellent. In school most kids of color, especially African American students, are deemed as unintelligent.

In fact, studies show that 73 to 90 percent of the students referred by classroom teachers for special education evaluations due to academic problems are found eligible for services" (National Education Association, 2007, p. 6). Teachers need to set appropriate goals and keep students moving forward. Use the appropriate test for each student. Teachers need to stay current with the proper training and education needed to help these students academically, know what assessments to use, and where to place

Today’s modern classroom is diverse. This creates a number of challenges for teachers who need to create a balance of high standards while meeting the needs of their students. The U.S. Department of Education reported that almost ninety-six percent of general education teachers have students in their classroom with learning disabilities. This report also showed that there are over six million students with disability classifications in the United States (26th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities

An effective teacher of students with disabilities is one that actively utilizes the available resources to positively influence students’ educations. This includes anyone that may be on the IEP team or other school professionals that could be of assistance at that time. The most common person
