1.8 Developing maintaining classroom control requires both authority and power authority can be defined as the right to make decisions that affect the choices available to other people Authority is conferred the department of education and the school governing body delegate the responsibility for educating learners to educators and grant them the authority to act in accordance with this responsibility. Power on the other hand must be earned although educators may be given the authority to certain educational decisions they cannot be given power to make learners comply with these decisions for example, an educator may use authority to assign a task to learners but he or she will have to use power to get them to do it. 1.9 Attractive power also called referent power this Is the power educators have because they are likable and know how to cultivate human relationships. Expert power this power accrues to an educator who is an expert in his or her field of study such educators usually have a great enthusiasm for their subject and this is contagious compelling learners to get involved Reward power this power is based on the skill of recognising appreciating and rewarding accomplishments of leaner in so doing affecting the behaviour of
I believe my Classroom Management Plan will work to provide the students with a safe and supportive learning environment in providing them with resources that will benefit them for their learning in the classroom. I will provide guidelines and instruction for them to follow in in order to provide a safe and respectful environment for all students. I will have differentiation instruction to support all students learning and listen to my students to gain feedback for my lessons and teaching styles. I plan on getting to know students and building meaningful relationships with them by showing that I care about them and them being successful learners in my classroom. I will engage in activities to get all my students to get to
Over the past few years of my undergraduate classes, I have received the opportunity to expand my knowledge through different teaching experiences. I have had the opportunity to observe and implement different strategies in the classroom, giving me examples of how I would like to see my future classroom look. I have established ideas about teaching and learning that have impacted me in a great way. I have developed beliefs I would like to some day see in my classroom but, I am always willing to learn and take constructive criticism in my teaching as well. I strongly believe that classroom management is key to student and teacher success in the classroom.
Dustin, we both fell under the Authoritative category. We are similar in the ways that we manage our classrooms. I do not assign a classroom seating chart wither, unless students are disrupting class with their behavior. I like the fact that you brought up the word punishment, because it was not until I learned the definition and difference between punishment, consequences (reinforcement), and discipline that I truly began to understand why classroom management is extremely important. Before I even decided that I wanted to become a teacher, I was trained on classroom management utilizing these terms.
There are many ways that I believe that my classroom management skills have improved, but I would like to focus on three skills: patience, communication, and documentation. Patience is so important in all facets of life, but extremely important while teaching. It is so easy to get frustrated with students who disobey, do not understand the information, or just simply not nice, but as a teacher, I must look past all of those. I believe that a major quality of a patient teacher is a teacher who used positive reinforcement as the number way he or she treats students, and that is the type of teacher I want to be. I will be a teacher who consistently motivates their students with positive reinforcement even when it would be easy to punish and get extremely angry at the student.
I believe that each and every child is unique in their own way. Who needs a secure and caring environment in which they can grow and mature emotionally, cognitively, physically, and socially. That’s why for me it’s important to help the students meet their full potential in this areas by providing an environment that is safe and also a place where they are able to share their ideas with each other and to let them explore their curiosity because after all that’s how they learn. As a teacher I feel that we should motivate our students to become the best that they can be by incorporating in our curriculum the many theories that we have learn in this class so that we can help them achieve their full potential. Since not all students learn the same
I myself am native speaker, and English is my second language, but if it would be me the kid who goes to school in America and everything I study at school is in english and not related to me in anyway, whether it is my language or my history then, of course I would need to learn my native language because I don’t live my homeland and this is my school now that will teach who I would be tomorrow, So yes I agree and support the school system that offers teaching kids their Native Language, because they are teaching kids who they are. I was doing observation at Minnesota Math and Science Academy “Charter School” for my other Education Class, and while I was observing their I realized that 80% of the students at the school belong to same ethnicity background, and I happen to the same question whether they teach kids their native language or
To professional teacher to create a climate of ownership by ensuring that everyone involved in the educational process is invited to participate. As a teacher believe
Classroom management is the foundation to every student’s learning process. It sets the stage for creativity, problem-solving, and production. Students engage when the classroom is well organized. Throughout my childhood, art has meant freedom of self-expression and I would like to parallel that kind of freedom in my classroom, sharing my passion for the many expressions of art. My students will be free to express themselves creatively in my classroom and they will use art to better understand themselves and the world around them.
I think the most important reason to become a teacher is because you have a passion for helping children. Teachers that have a passion for helping students grow and mature as individuals make the best teachers. They care about getting to know the student on an individual and personal level. A teacher that wants to do everything that they can do to see that student be successful not only in school, but also in life. The second reason for wanting to be a teacher, is wanting to make a change in a student's life.
The educational system is a system that has been developed to help teach and provide students with essential knowledge for everyday life. As students we are given the opportunity to choose our own life path and the education system helps aid the student on their journey. As a sophomore center student I have been granted the opportunity to explore the world of teaching, however, I feel I have only been able to dip my toes in the water and I am ready to jump in. As a student who thrives in teaching situations and enjoys the idea of helping and informing others, I feel the teachers of tomorrow program will help assist my love for teaching and provide a strong basis of real life teaching opportunities. I first acted on my love for teaching when applying to the Center of Education and Human Development.
Imagine this; you are a young college student working toward becoming a teacher. You are attending a third grade classroom for an observation. You walk in expecting a typical classroom; desks in a line, computers, bright lights, maybe a rug on the floor. However, when you arrive you see that the lights are dim, there is a full-sized couch in the middle of the room, a tall table and bar stools, and beanbags scattered around.
Teacher The occupation I chose is a teacher. I would love to be a teacher since it seems like so much of fun! Along with that, I can relate to why I want to be a teacher since I used to play school all the time with my friends, and even my siblings. On top of that, I help my younger brother, Ryan , with his homework and projects when he has trouble.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY A great educator takes the time to build valuable relationships with each member of her class and builds confidence, mutual respect, and trust in her classroom. When thinking about my role as a teacher in the classroom the most crucial part to a successful classroom is the relationships I will build with my students. I want the class to trust me and their peers enough to have conversations about what is important to them. I would like my students to clearly articulate their own thoughts and feelings.
c) There are four main classroom management theorists that I find align most with my philosophies and values for teaching, they are: Lee and Marlene Canter; Harry and Rosemary Wong; William Glasser; and C.M. Charles’s work on “gentle discipline”. The Canter’s developed “assertive discipline” which is based on “the conceptualization of the teacher as the final authority in the classroom” (Fennimore, 1995, p. 180). The Wong’s are famous for stressing the importance of routines and the need for high expectations starting on the first day.
