Discussion 4.2: Your thoughts on the Socialization Within Schools
I grew up in a mid-size city in B.C. with a very diverse population. I was fortunate to attend a fantastic elementary school that prided itself on an inclusive education, way back in the early 80's. I was able to have my education experience mesh with many other children, some who were from different ethnic backgrounds and/or who lived with a disability. I believe the large diversity of my peers at such an early age led to a very positive social outcome. Empathy, problem solving, compassion, self-control and self-awareness are just a few of the benefits I gained from the socialization aspect of attending school. I clearly remember times I was so excited to get to school …show more content…

I mention this because with my first child I held on pretty tight and tried to structure everything that she did. I tried to mold her into what I thought she should be, how I thought she should act. Yeah, it was a learning curve for us both! I realized that this was a lot of work that didn't actually produce the results that I had hoped to see. When my second child came, I relaxed (was very tired) and started to realize that, with some guidance, they figured a lot of this stuff out themselves. By my fourth, I have been able to enjoy the process of watching them learn to be amazing, thoughtful, social human beings. I think this will be relevant to assisting other children in the classroom become viable and positive social students, as I have already learned that their environment, with a little adult guidance, will help guide them. I hope to be a valuable facilitator in helping children have a positive social experience by pairing a socially inept child with a socially adept child, identifying and acknowledging the strengths of all children, understanding social weaknesses and creating an environment in which the student is accepted. These can greatly enhance all children’s social abilities. Helping to create a sense of belonging within the classroom and school will be the beginning stepping stone to a positive

At Harmony School of Discovery we have a very tight knit group of students. When Discovery first opened as a new school it opened it’s doors to kids from everywhere and from every which background. Us students were forced to come together and start fresh with virtual strangers, leaving behind everything familiar. This reality forced us to build new bonds with people going through the same hurdles as us, adjusting to a new school and a disparate environment. We learned how to nurture and preserve close relationships among our classmates, relationships between teachers and students, and relationships between students and administration.

I was amazed to read that in the affluent school, some of the children mention they will rather not be rich. Rich meant that they could not work and they will rather work since they liked working. In the executive school, I was bothered by the comment that a teacher stated. A teacher associated low-income children with discipline problems. I think that teacher generalized an observation he

Out of all the literacy core themes, in my personal opinion, Civic and Social skills is the most important one, especially when attending a diverse school such as Brockton High School. The lessons we learned at school have a tremendous impact on the ways in which we prepared for citizenship and on how we learn to take part in civic life of the society into which we are [will be] integrated. I will confess that it was very hard choosing a evidence, not because they was not many, but rather the opposite as everything we performed in class somehow connected to this core value. Bu that is neither here nor there. Eventually I reached a conclusion and decided that as my evidence I would choose the Cycle of Socialization.

This desire manifests itself in many ways, yet at its core is building relationships with students and teachers and then extending these relationships to families and the community. With students, I seek to be visible, greeting the students at the door and working to learn their names. When discipline is necessary, I believe that restorative correction is the best avenue to change behaviors while maintaining relationships. As teachers spend the most time with students during a typical school day, they are essential team members in improving educational outcomes and promoting an inclusive culture. I detail my strategies for working alongside teachers in the subsequent question; however, I strive to support them by creating a culture of trust, safety, training, and collaboration through professional learning communities.

To build positive relationships with the children there are many things I personally would do to help myself and the child create a bond. When I interact with the child, I would always make sure I get down to the child’s level. In my room, you tend to find that you are always on the floor whether it’s sitting up to talk to the children or lying down trying to encourage those non-mobile babies to crawl! In the baby unit the child’s speech is mainly babbling and some simple sentences depending on the child’s age. Therefore when a child comes up and starts babbling to me, I wouldn’t ignore it, I would smile, and wait for the child to finish then I would begin talking back to the child or even copying the child.

Even though most children have a surprisingly easy time making friends with other classmates, a large part of this is because of the repeated unplanned interactions at places like lunch or recess. Each of these interactions take about twenty minutes, which results in approximately forty minutes for them to collaborate, during around half of that time they aren’t able to appropriately communicate. Talking is usually considered a nuisance, and when they can talk they are often asked to talk in their “quiet voices.” Social skills can be greatly improved by playing with other kids without instruction on what, exactly, to

The two main components of a classroom community are the physical environment and the emotional environment; both of which need to be built over the course of a school year.
