The Following Questions Were Addressed To Participants

I have taught students ranging from five years old to nineteen years of age. Hence, being an educator, I have learned that learning is always shifting, therefore I must keep improving with the incessant changes. As a little girl, I have always dreamt of being a teacher and I have carried out that dream. My career journey started as a substitute teacher, a floater between classrooms, an assistant teacher, a teacher, a center supervisor, and an educational supervisor. I presently work as an Educational consultant for Danya International LLC. As an Educational Consultant, I able to review and aid with the learning environment of teachers and educational management in a school

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

The feelings of isolation affect the perceptions and it may increase the nervousness among the teachers too that directly harms in the delivery of education. The teachers should be motivated towards their work and it helps them to do good communication among the students and other teachers as well which brings the positive results. Beginners can be helped a lot through this motivation process as they are not alone in their experience. They can get proper information and can make a use of other’s experience so that they can overcome the challenges and become successful teachers. Another reason mentioned in the article is the identifying perceptions of initial year teachers to collect the information which can be used by various lecturers, trainers, and many other educators who in turn trains or prepares the teachers in the field of education. It is found that the teachers who got proper training and whom were tested before starting their teaching profession brings out better results than the ones who directly comes to the field. The beginning teachers are provided proper training and strategies so that they can deliver the quality education and retain the good and better. In the article, it is mentioned that they begin with a detail of the school where teachers are involved and the special program where the

The risk of losing beginning teachers has been an issue in the United States for a long time. An immense amount of research has been conducted exploring why beginning teachers are leaving the profession. Fantilli and McDougall’s (2009) pointed out that beginning teachers have the same responsibilities and requirements as veteran teachers, but in addition to these factors, feel the additional pressure that most people feel starting a new vocation. As a result, beginning teachers spend “a disproportionate amount of time and effort simply to keep their heads above water” (p. 814). In the article Hello, Goodbye: Exploring the Phenomenon of Leaving Teaching Early, a qualitative study was conducted to explore why beginning teachers are leaving the profession. Through an interview process, former beginning teachers identified negative factors that influenced their decision to leave the profession. These factors included working with unmotivated colleagues, feeling isolated, feeling that they did not receive support or recognition from administration, dealing with administrative problems, and not having flexibility and freedom to decide how they teach in their classrooms.

My decision to be a teacher did not come easily to me. This choice was dependent on a reflection about what I was passionate about and how I could make a difference. I have chosen to become a teacher, as I believe teachers have the ability to provide future generations the stimulation for one of the most significant roles in life; to become a lifelong learner. Many teachers that I have had during my education have had a positive impact on my decision to grow and develop the skills that are fundamental to pursue a successful teaching career. My aim is to be a part of an honorable profession with the optimism that one day I will become an efficacious teacher who can provide future teachers with inspiration, as my teachers have provided for me. Through personal educational experiences and peer-reviewed academic literature, I am able to shape my approach to my pre-service teaching, as it will influence my future practice. As a teacher, there is not just one singular approach to educating students; there is a need for flexibility, diversity, adaptation and reflection.

Disruptive behavior in schools has been a source of concern for school systems for several years. Indeed, the single most common request for assistance from teachers is related to behavior and classroom management. Classrooms with frequent disruptive behaviors have less academic engaged time, and the students in disruptive classrooms tend to have lower grades and do poorer on standardized tests. Furthermore, attempts to control disruptive behaviors cost considerable teacher time at the expense of academic instruction. School discipline issues such as disruptive behavior and violence also have an increased effect on teacher stress and burnout (Smith & Smith, 2006). There is a significant body of research attesting to the fact that classroom organization and behavior management competencies significantly influence the persistence of new teachers in their teaching careers (Ingersoll & Smith, 2003). New teachers typically express concerns about effective means to handle disruptive behavior (Browers & Tomic, 2000). Teachers who have significant problems with behavior management and classroom discipline often report high levels of stress and symptoms of burnout and are frequently ineffective (Berliner, 1986; Browers & Tomic, 2000; Espin & Yell, 1994). The ability of teachers to organize classrooms and manage the behavior of their students is critical to achieving both positive educational outcomes for students and teacher

The beliefs in this article are all supported by a logic explanation, making them easy to follow. The Marzanos combined their analysis of educational studies and their own research and experience in brief and comprehensive manner. The article in non objective; allowing educators with various teaching styles and dilemmas to enhance their capabilities. The guide suggests behaviors slight changes a teacher can easily make to promote a great cause; student

Classroom management gives teachers a responsibility in establishing and maintain a classroom environment that students will engage and remain focused on their learning. The topic chosen to analyze the perspectives of both teachers and educational psychologists is class discipline. Discipline focuses on teaching student’s to understand that their negative behaviors and actions have consequences. The interview took place with a pre- kindergarten teacher Martha Melchor from Dalton Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. There are various suggestions educational psychologists provide teachers techniques in areas in which to handle misbehavior. While gathering information from the interview and textbook, the perspective on discipline between teachers and

The teaching profession is unique. How so? Think about it: It educators are responsible for the learning of his or her students. Remember, his or her students eventually go on to become contributing members of society. Yet, before teachers can prepare his or her students for the workforce, he or she must teach his or her students that today’s society depends on an educated citizenry—human beings that respectful. Now, consider the following scenario: Mr. Cooper, a tenth-grade teacher, witnessed a fight between two of his students disrupt the productive classroom learning. Therefore, now, Mr. Cooper is required to cope with aggression. O’Donnell, Reeve, and Smith (2012) define aggression as the following: “Any intentional behavior designed to

The whole point of the teaching profession is to enrich the life of every student and provide a balanced, sustained, positive and contrasting learning environment. I believe that outstanding teachers motivate students to want to learn. I take my job and responsibilities very seriously and am always working to improve myself and renew the capacity in others. I aim to improve students’ interests in the process then the product. I strictly abide to the school initiatives so students can become self- directed, critical thinking, enduring, independent learners. My goal is to ensure that natural learning happens in conjunction with gaining deeper knowledge, and understanding. Team work, project based enquiry, peer observation sharing, collaborating

In the research paper, Exploring Disparities Between Teachers’ Expectations and the Realities of the Educational Profession, Sunddip Panesar talks about first year teachers’ expectations before teaching and then the realties of the classroom. She also asks what factors are influencing their decision to stay or leave the profession. For her research she went to three schools in the school district of British Columbia, Canada in search for first year teachers. From those schools she chose 20 first year secondary teachers to interview for his study. When it came time to the interviews each person interviewed was greeted the same way and read the same questions, the only differences were the places and times of the interviews. The questions asked were opened ended which means that the participants could answer them any way they preferred. After each interview was completed they were reviewed and analyzed to group into themes. At the end they were grouped into eight main themes.

Linda Albert has developed a classroom management philosophy called Cooperative Discipline to help teachers differentiate their response to student misbehavior, depending on the source of the problem. In her book, Albert outlines four causes of misbehavior: attention seeking, power seeking, revenge seeking, and avoidance of failure (Teachingasleadership). The student of my subject was undergoing revenge-seeking discipline issue, that had triggered due to issues at home and family. When addressing this misbehavior and tantrums the step I initiated

There are three related problems for the teacher in trying to set work to maximise challenge - and minimise stress - for the learner:

A clustered, convenience sample (based on the proximity and accessibility to the research team) of pre-service student teacher educators were invited to participate. Of the 160 students invited an 82% response

Building positive relationship with and creating a smooth functioning classroom are foundation of teaching. Accomplishing these things involves skills in relating to, communicating with children, developing rules to guide children’s behavior anticipating and preventing problems utilizing effective techniques of managing the group and dealing with conflict. Dealing with conflict and problems is not always easy. As you struggle with classroom “control” you may wonder (or if) this is possible without resulting to negative and punitive techniques (Feeny Christensen Moravoki 1991).
