– Rationale Curriculum Integration and Differentiation 4000 Alyssa Hutchinson 15506357 The contemporary classroom is a rich blend of children from varied backgrounds, all with individual needs, interests and abilities. These students must be able learn in a context that is relevant to their lives and every day experiences as 21st century learners (Australian Curriculum and Reporting Authority, 2013).

“one particular memorable classroom or school situation when you were a student that if you had been the teacher, you would have handled differently. As the teacher in that setting, how would you have brought resolution to the conflict?” I decided to approach this assignment with some liberties of a self-reflection of my own personal classroom management as a substitute teacher this previous Tuesday, October 31, 2017, in singular 9th grade Algebra class in which authority I exhibited was less than
deal with classroom management, student – teacher relationship, disciplinary actions etc. but for this report I am going to discuss the one which was most evident in my experience during School Placement. Reflecting on my teaching practice one key hegemonic assumption that stands out to me as I had some problems relating to this topic is the relationship between a student and the teacher – the best approach to take heading into a classroom is a friendly relaxed one. Many other problems can stem from
methods that are used in classrooms, the teacher vetting process, and improved funding for underperforming schools. One of the most important issues for the educational system in America, is the relationship between the teacher and student inside the classroom.

students will come to know by the progressivist ideal that what is learned in the classroom has relevance to the real world. Progressivists believe that education should mirror life. Education often uses past experiences to gain more knowledge, much like life. Therefore, education should be taught as life. By breaking experiences apart into different problems, one can do this. The students will gain more from this problem solving technique than by memorizing information for a test. One theory

The law required educators to place handicapped students in general classrooms whenever possible or in “the least restrictive environment.” The mandate to provide a free and appropriate education for children regardless of disability and to provide that education in a regular classroom whenever possible, effectively striped educators of the authority to transfer or suspend any student classified as needing special education.

Philosophy of Education Today’s classrooms are becoming more diverse, “with growing linguistic and cultural diversity in today’s classrooms, as well as different social expectations for education, the teacher preparation process is becoming increasingly demanding and challenging” (Cooper and He, p. 89). In addition, these teacher candidates and teachers themselves need to provide expertise beyond their training, “to provide support in areas beyond content expertise and pedagogical knowledge” (Cooper
expectations for student behavior in the classroom and school campus. A school wide behavioral matrix lists the school wide expectations for various times, location and transitions. Classroom teacher specific to that classroom creates a classroom behavioral matrix. Both school wide behavioral matrix and classroom matrix should contain the rules that are listed in the school wide expectations. These rules and expectations are displayed as a matrix, which is posted in classrooms, gym, cafeteria, hallway, and
