In the short story "Clover" by Billy Lombardo, Graham made a plethora of actions towards the students, and toward other educators comments, and the author made a great deal of unique characteristics in the classroom.
Decrees, via verbal or written, are designed to control behavior and maintain safe and functioning societies. Since Hammurabi authored the first written code of laws, civilizations throughout time continually shepherd their citizens toward a desired behavior. In theory, decrees guide our everyday actions to create an orderly society. Whenever individuals fail to adhere to the rules of society, then punishment is administered based on the violation committed. Rules apply to everyone from the White House to the school house. Similar to society’s code of behavior, schools administer to instruct students to engage in proper behavior. In theory rules create a sense order for society to advance and continue to improve on prior generation 's achievements.
During our developmental stages, we experience different learning processes that result in a range of behaviors. Two of the well known associative learning processes that are continuously studied are Operant Conditioning and Classical Conditioning. In our everyday activities we are constantly experiencing one, if not both learning theories. These theories have played an important role in our medical advancements such as in research and improvement in medicine.
In, The Iris Center for Faculty Enhancement, level C, case 1, there are two students, Zach and Patrick, who continue to disrupt the class because of their behavior towards each other. They are completely opposite. Zach is the relatively quiet student and Patrick is the louder of the two. Patrick teases Zach and Zach responds in an inappropriate manner. Their teacher is starting to get frustrated with the behavior between the two boys. Therefore, using some of the ideas from the STAR (Strategies And Resources) Sheet, the teacher will be able to encourage appropriate behavior and the teacher will keep her sanity.
In my last week in Wilkinson Middle School I was observing Classroom Procedures .Ms.Culberson is a very fun teacher but she is really strict in every one that enters her classroom knows that .Ms.Culberson might not be in the class whenever the bell rings but her students know to start in the bell ringer. She times her student and they all have to work quickly and quietly. They grade the bell ringer after words she asks for their grade and they have to say it out loud. Whenever the students say their grade out loud it motivates them to get a good a grade. Depending on the activity the students do is what they will be doing for the rest of the day. They finish their day of by doing their exit ticket. Both bell ringer and exit ticket counts
In every school there are set policies and procedures so that all people working within the school are aware and stick to the same rules. Consistency is imperative. All adults working in the school would be : teaching staff, support staff, lunchtime supervisors, kitchen staff, governors, after school staff and temporary staff. There are many policies in schools that children and staff should be aware of. For example : Behaviour policy, bullying, attendance, code of conduct, sanctions & rewards and health and safety.
Rules are a basic law that we must abide by. Schools in particular are a common place for rules to be followed by students. Each classroom has their own rules as well such as no texting in class or not being late. Society today is built around rules; we rely on rules as a form of societal conduct. Even if we like them or not, or abide by them or don’t, rules are everywhere. We can all think of a time where we have been somewhere, where rules were implied. Whether it’s at school, work, store, bank, anywhere really. These rules are sometimes directly implied or unspoken but followed. I can remember a specific time I had to abide by rules, my Medical Assisting class. Although being deeply frustrated in a strict nature of a classroom that seemed
The important reason to makes a good and professional early childhood educator is to communicate with children and try to understand them. I did not have any working experience in kindergarten, but I have some experience of taking care of a child due to my mother is a babysitter. The child that my mother takes care is a boy and he’s autism. He is a child that sometimes like lives in his own world and sometimes he is also hyperactive. He likes to sing, dance and write. Besides that, I observed that he don’t know how to tell anyone when he is upset but you will see that his face is very sad. Before that he is a child that really did not like to talk but after he had been take care by my mother for a few months he slowly can answer the question
“The behavior of difficult-to-manage students can be improved through providing interesting lessons on topics of personal relevance that permit active involvement and lead to competencies students consider important” (Charles & Senter, 2005, p. 131). This statement summarizes perfectly the idea that when students are engaged and learning about topics that are meaningful to them, their world opens up and they begin to see a purpose in what they are doing. According to Trevor Muir, a teacher and author of The Epic Classroom, conflict can motivate students and develop a sense of curiosity (T. Muir, personal communication, February 20, 2018). When students are presented with a real world conflict, they become motivated to find a solution. Project-based
Classroom management is the process by which teachers and schools create and maintain appropriate behavior of students in classroom settings. When classroom-management strategies are executed effectively, teachers minimize the behaviors that impede learning for both individual students and groups of students, while maximizing the behaviors that facilitate or enhance learning. Classroom management is really hard and there are many theorists that talk about it and each is different from the other where each theorist has his/her own ideas and thoughts. Some of them are mentioned below.

As the number is falling, from 1980 there were 45 states who accepted teachers to spank, in 2004, only 22 states still allowed this rule in schools. As from as we all know, history can be traced back to middle ages till the 19th century of when corporal punishment has been stated. In the United States, all states should have corporal punishment legal in public and non-public schools.
Educators and learners have rights in the classroom. Insist on responsible behaviour. Use hierarchical list of consequences and encouragements, rather than praise.
An outstanding teacher is made up of 5 main things. They are respectful and in turn respected, goal-driven, have strong classroom management, have an inner drive to learn more and teach better, and have a love for each and every student.
Teaching is not controlling, but rather working with the students to learn, grow, and succeed together. By having strong student-teacher relationships with students, the classroom will be a place for each member to express their feelings and work together. Academic success depends on these close relationships and guidance that teachers and students have with one another.
