Michie uses his past classroom experiences to connect to his students and further sparks class discussion. Michie would try to relate to what the students were going through in their lives to get to know them better.
In the story The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, by Avi, the theme of the novel is to trust in yourself, then you will be able to trust in others. George Macdonald once said, “To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.” MacDonald suggests that trust is a far rarer thing and is difficult to attain. Trusting in oneself, therefore, is even more difficult because people are generally filled with self-doubt. This self-doubt can lead to mistrusting oneself during crucial moments.
Trust. According to the General Social Survey, trust in the United States for other people has fallen from its height of 48% in 1984 to a measly 30% in 2014. Nevertheless, renowned author Ernest Hemingway has a piece of advice pertaining towards trust. “The best way to find out if you can trust someone is to trust them.” Many individuals find trust to be a tender subject.
I whole-heartedly agree with Moran when she states that, “the absence of trust impedes effectiveness and progress” (99). People need to be able to rely on one another and feel that what they are saying has value. Also, teachers want to know that administrators are going to put into place the steps in order to reach a goal if that is what they say they are going to do. Finally, parents and students need to have trust in the system which is often difficult when the system has failed them in the past. Therefore, establishing and maintaining this trust in each other is paramount to running a successful student-centered school.
Trust is important in a relationship between a parent and child, because if the child cannot trust the parent, the child grows up with no understanding of trust. If a child needs to talk with a parent about something private with whom are they supposed to talk? Or what if a child needs to talk with a parent about puberty problem? In the book, we see an example of a child who doesnt trust her father because she found out that his father have been lying to her. Some children trust more in the mother than father because a mother is more kind and reasonable, also because the mother will know more about the need of a child.
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.
While I was completing my field experience, I was working in the afterschool room every other Tuesday and Thursday. The grades of the twenty-six students ranged from first grade to fourth grade and there were more females than males in this class. My two mentors, Kelly and Brooke, were awesome, showing me how to keep up with these older children while also keeping peace within the chaotic classroom. While these children were from Watkinsville, they really were not from a low SES background, but there were many instances that the children would get into arguments and bring up someone else’s family
The diversity of student backgrounds, abilities and learning styles makes each person unique in the way he or she reacts to information. The intersection of diverse student backgrounds and active learning needs a comfortable, positive environment in which to take root. Dr. King continues by explaining, “Education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.” From back then to today’s society, kids are failing because they lack those morals that they need to succeed.
Immediately integrated into everyday life actions and choices was Palmer’s (2008) circle of trust concept as a leadership tool, which created a positive change in the relationships between administration, students, staff, and myself. Indeed, the circle of trust leadership approach “. . . provided me an opportunity to examine the classroom failure in a new light” (Ashpole, 2016b, p.2). Another positive leadership change was the realization that distorted assumptions influence learning styles, which led to a different teaching approach.
Choosing to trust their history teacher, albeit with much reluctance and trepidation, they plan to recover
Trust yields a sense of safety within a group, when members are safe they become comfortable with each other thus opening up and baring the part of themselves that they would not have done when there was no trust.
