Principal office Win-Win Discipline A discipline model created by Dr.Spencer Kagan. This discipline model focuses on handling "discipline problems at the moment of the disruption" (Kagan, 2002). There are a variety of reasons why a student misbehaves, "win-win discipline provides a teacher with different strategies to respond to the different students positions" (Kagan, 2002).T " I want teachers to learn that they have to take charge, explain their expectations, be positive with students, and consistently employ both positive reinforcement and negative consequences.

Damian Cooper’s book “Redefining Fair” is dedicated to providing insight, resources, and support to teachers when considering differentiation within the classroom. His central argument is that the greatest obstacle to differentiation within a classroom is outdated beliefs of fairness. Cooper’s work is directed toward breaking down such obstacles through the various sources, advice, and viewpoints. It is possible to be a teacher who successfully implements differentiation within the classroom in all areas that benefit the students maximum education and potential. From the beginning of chapter one Cooper defended and argued his thesis effectively.

Interpersonal communication remains a fundamental aspect in the functioning of a primary education institution as it lightens the load upon the shoulders of teachers. The author in this write up will therefore discuss the significance of interpersonal communication to a primary school teacher. Among the aspects to be unfolded to detail are psychological functions, social and influential functions of interpersonal communication but equally the important, the writer will also highlight issues such as distortion of message by gestures, high probability of child abuse cases and finally inability of the teacher to communicate effectively. Key terms to be defined are interpersonal communication. Communicating interpersonally between the teacher

He put great emphases on the real-world and the ethical associations of standardized tests and the research of pre-examination of educators as they communicate to the pupil calculation and course enactment. He also put forth an effort to discover resolutions to the difficulties educators and potential educators come across on an educational level with concerns to standardized testing. He offers information concerning teacher preparation programs and the teacher as a leader. He also gives some insight on curriculum, instruction, testing, transnational analysis, assessment, and ethics. Within this work the author explain why it is unethical to associate testing deprived of considering the work of the classroom, scholar education styles, and different procedures of recital.

Students often interrupt the learning process during instructional times, but with these techniques the teacher stops until he or she has the attention of the room. Educators who use the “ Strong Voice” technique convey the message that what they’re doing is important. To illustrate, a teacher might use this to ensure students focus on schoolwork instead of fooling around. The technique “100 Percent” uses a calm demeanor and positive tone to ensure all students comply. An educator should send a message when they won’t continue, speak over, or ignore disruptive behavior.

267). So Boyer has some similar ideals with Dewey in that he believes that teachers are there to help students see that they are small part of something much larger, and while I do see the similarities of their philosophies here I think they also can be used to contrast each other. I understand that Dewey and Boyer both see that education needs to be drastically changed and we need to make kids connect in a way that creates a community that is positive for current learning as well as future society. This is all good thinking but I also believe that Boyer sees students as real people and his peers while Dewey seems to think of students simply as a tool that is used by teachers. He constantly refers to students and children as “it”, while Boyer seems much more connected with his approach to addressing students as actual people and he puts it all in terms that make sense and connected with me better whereas Dewey’s ideals were more off-putting that anything

Some of these concerns have been explored and articulated by such as Shirley Grundy, who sees it as overly dependent on “cultivation of wisdom and meaning-making in the classroom” and as a result the actual capability of students to “make sense” of subject matter and the world around them, can be

According to Lewis (2009) in his book “Understanding Pupil Behaviour: Classroom Management Techniques For Teachers” mentioned that there are some effects if the teachers don’t know about the students’ characteristics such as stress and Post-Guru Syndrom. Stress happens when they feel unable to maintain an classroom in which students can get on with their work and teachers can teach without unnecessary interruption, it is usually part of failure teacher in managing the classroom misbehavior of students and Post-Guru Syndrom happens when the teachers become inconsistent to implement the appropriate technique in teaching for students and finally

The observation of children, centred round careful viewing and listening, is a crucial characteristic of effective early childhood pedagogy. Nonetheless, research suggests that early years’ practitioners struggle to observe children satisfactorily and find a great difficulty in planning provisions built upon their observations. Thus, it is imperative that as prospective early childhood educators, we should understand the importance and value that such methodology holds. There should be a continuity between that which is observed in the classroom setting and what is presented to the students to facilitate their learning. Such observation equips educators with the skills necessary for effective teaching, learning and assessment.

No longer can guidance counselors or schools counselors simply make sure students are in the right classes or just work with the troubled students or clients. The guidance counselors’ attitude, effectiveness being accepted on good faith is no longer valid (Myrich, 2003b). It is now part of the school counselor identity to be accountable to others the effectiveness of the program in measurable terms (Brott, 2006, p. 179). Furthermore, guidance counselors are expected to “fix all types of behavioral and learning problems of students from varied cultural backgrounds (Fall, 2001 a.p. 316), while addressing each student as a unique entity (Roberts & Mills, 2009), according to a research of Eric Davis, 2010.

Dewey has me believing his theory of this is that the students come into a classroom with a problem that is “living up to a teachers requirements” as students call it. The problem is that the teacher wants us to know what they know and for us as a student to be able to satisfy them with the knowledge teachers believe we have. Dewey has a similar article to Freire they both believe in a type of educational tool for students. Dewey perspective is broader, that we have a well maintained standard of learning and the educational system should continue these methods because by adapting to the teacher’s requirements in order for use to learn what needs to be
