Ginott's Ideas Of Belonging In The Classroom

1087 Words5 Pages

Description of Theorists

From all of the presentations, I felt that I most aligned to these theorist mentioned below. They have each main there own individual stamp on modern classroom management. Here is a little background on these theorists.

Ginott
Ginott wrote a book in 1971 titled Teacher and Child. This was a small book of teaching suggestions, which emphasized the way in which teachers talk both with and to their students (Curtis, Fedirko, Moreno, 2018). In addition, Ginott made many contributions to classroom management. One of his firm beliefs is that student are treated as individuals and that each is a unique learner (Curtis, Fedirko, Moreno, 2018). In addition, Ginott believes that teachers need to address situation not the student. …show more content…

Driekurs then moved to the States in 1937 and became the director of the Alfred Adler Institute in Chicago (Elsing & Morton, 2018). Dreikurs focused his attention on misbehavior and discipline in classrooms. Some of the contributions Dreikurs made was the idea of a sense of belonging in the classroom. Dreikurs believed that is students would behave to gain acceptance, respect, attention, involvement, belonging (Elsing & Morton, 2018). On the other hand, if they were unsuccessful in gaining belonging misbehavior could previal in order to still seek belonging in the classroom. Dreikurs felt that the teacher’s role in the classroom is to use natural/logical consequences and encouragement in addressing and avoiding misbehaviors, and implement a democratic classroom/teaching style, in order to help students gain a sense of belonging (Elsing & Morton, …show more content…

The situation is what is causing harm to the classroom, not student. I align with Ginott’s theories about teachers addressing a situation. Students and teachers need to use “I” statements rather than making accusations, and use of “why” questions when discussing behavior (Curtis, Fedirko, Moreno, 2018). I believe this feels less attack based, and helps students and teachers to put their guard down in order to get to the root of the situation. I would like to use this theory in my classroom. I would use it when addressing situations between student to student, student to teacher, class to class, or even teacher to teacher. I use “I” statements in my personal life, so I align with implementing this theory into the classroom. The classroom I student teach in does not use this theory, but I am still a firm believer in this

Each teacher should be able to teach effectively to each student in and efficient manner, but they also must be able to understand everyone. Rose speaks to point when writing “teaching carries with it the obligation to understand the people in one’s charge, to teach subject matter and skills, but also to inquire, to nurture, to have a sense of who a student is” (Rose 216). Teachers being able to sense who each individual student is allows them understand what is the best way to teach this individual within the classroom’s rules. This focus on students within the classroom creates an acceptance for any idea creating balance within society. This allows students be unique and have a great sense for themselves, creating a better place for ideas to

In my co-op placement at middle school, some teachers confessed that university didn’t prepare them well enough to deal with classroom problems. “A bigger bag of classroom management tricks would have been helpful” (Win, 2012). Teachers also dedicate endless hours preparing for original and creative lesson plans to make sure all students can comprehend new concepts using a variety of teaching methods.
