Recommended: Importance of teacher professionalism

My goal with standard six involved observing how my clinical teacher handled liabilities and how he interacted with co-workers and myself. I felt that it was important to look for these qualities, because they are important in the professional environment. How you handle legal responsibilities is not only important for the school, but also for the students. IEPs need to be addressed so that a quality education can be provided. Also, how a teacher interacts with coworkers can play into their hierarchal place amongst colleagues. It is crucial to have open communication with faculty, so that you gain respect and support. This is also mirrored in how we interacted in each other, since were in a sense coworkers. Thus, I set out to see how my clinical …show more content…

Liabilities were interesting to observe in the classroom. The very first day I observed, I noticed some issues with how grades and IEPS were being handled. For starters, my teacher let me look at online grading records of students. The lowest and highest GPAs, were shown to me and I was allowed to look at their scores in their regular English class as well. I felt uncomfortable doing this, because I had just met him and did not really know the kids well. Also, the first day I came the class went over grades, publically. Each student was able to see their mid-quarter grade on the projection. Both of these occurrences, I felt, was a violation of the student’s privacy. I do not necessarily think it was against the law, or able to be a liability. However, I do feel that it was problematic. I was essentially a stranger, and he was more than willing to show me personal information and …show more content…

Legalities is a huge responsibility to uphold and respect. It is important that you do not disrespect your student’s anonymity. This was not the case with my clinical experience. I do not think laws were broken, but how fast I was able to reach student’s records was scary. On the flip side the coworker environment was healthy. The English department seemed close knit and supportive of each other. Despite the lack of communication my teacher had with me, I did feel that he was supportive and honest with me. He never lied to me or disrespected me. I just think there was a lack of communication. My teacher was overall professional in some senses, but lacking in

But actually, my junior year I was chosen as a team captain and as a team captain I had to lead practice, starting with warm ups and stretches to leading them on the field and yelling my lungs out.

The Discipline With Dignity Model Analysis

1659 Words | 7 Pages

As aforementioned, I would collaborate with my students about the type of consequences that they would have if they made poor choices that broke one of the rules. The type of consequence that I would use the least in my classroom would be the conventional consequences. In my opinion, removing students from the learning environment, unless absolutely necessary, is a disservice to students. This is not to say that some of the consequences may remove students from their working environment, because they might, but students will always be in the classroom. To better explain my point, consider the following example: Joe is working with his group during math centers, and he begins to throw the manipulatives at his classmates.

School Uniforms In Public Schools

557 Words | 3 Pages

The idea of school uniforms in public schools is often controversial among students, parents, and staff. I believe the enforcement of uniforms would create a positive learning environment, improve the safety of students, and promote, equality, dignity, and responsibility. Those who are against a uniform policy may argue that some students would purposely disobey the policy to get call out of class, that academic achievement should be the primary focus instead of a uniform policy, and that uniforms decrease individuality. A uniform policy improves the safety of students by reducing bullying, preventing females from being targeted sexually, and prohibiting clothing that suggest violence or gangs. In Steffen 's article, he states, "Educators report a decrease in violence, a reduction in fights at
