Analysis Of B. Jones 's A Twenty Eight Book Series Written By Barbara Park

Adora Svitak once claimed, “Any good teacher knows how important it is to connect with students and understand our culture.” In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird Jem and Scout are not given a good education by the known teachers Ms. Gates and Ms. Caroline. Great teachers will connect with their students. However, neither of these teachers care about their students in such a way most teachers should. Both teachers have biased views on events around the world and do not try to connect with their students. Teachers in Maycomb are not fit to teach elementary or middle school students.

While writing this text Joanne was attempting to prove the point of if a teacher is stern it might be for the greater good, as she increased her confidence while playing in the orchestra and became what she is today. Without the assistance of Mr. K I don't believe any of the students would have been taught discipline and dedication on their everyday activities in

The exuberant and laid back Miss Hancock made for a great elementary teacher but not so much for secondary. The high school students quickly strip Miss Hancock “of [her] 15 years of overblown confidence” (77). In reality, the students need a sterner teacher that can balance laid-back with discipline. Moreover, Miss Hancock is too dependent on her confidence; as soon as her confidence is broken she becomes pathetic. A “desperate

On February 1st, I visited the Britton Macon Area School. The teacher I observed was Ms. Richardson. She teaches a self-contained classroom for middle and high school grades. I started the observation at 8:00 A.M. until 11:32 A.M.

Childhood is the most sensitive period of human development. A well-structured academic enabling environment allows children to flourish, learning 15-20 new words every week all while adapting to and learning specific motor functions of all sorts. The correct environment carries an extremely important role and promotes learning under the proper circumstances, however a poor learning environment with constant conflict and poor role models can actually inhibit or slow the growth of a child. By no means does the perfect learning scenario exist, but psychologist can often identify a scenario where parents and/or guardians foster a variety of developmental issues from a psychological, physical, and mental perspective. The authoritative figure's unique and condescending style of teaching the girl in "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid, directly leads to harsh social and developmental consequences short term, with diminished long term social and developmental effects including troubled relationships, attachment issues, and a poor understanding of basic social scenarios.

In Kohn’s book, Beyond Discipline: From Compliance to Community, the first chapter focuses on the different classroom management theories regarding students in the classroom. The chapter discusses how many of these theories are incorrect, and how educators need to look at them under a fine tooth come before implementing them in their own classrooms. Kohn finishes the chapter by discussing what teachers should think about regarding their students when implementing classroom management procedures.

Miss Caroline is a brand new teacher and has been trained to teach in a certain way. When she finds that Scout’s premature reading ability disrupts her teaching plan she has no idea what to do with her, and tells Scout not to read at home anymore. ‘Miss Caroline told me to tell my father not to teach me anymore, it would interfere with my reading.’ This shows how society is oblivious to individual situations and this can cause achievements to be frowned upon.

Children’s ability to communicate, express themselves, and relate to others begins in the home. This idea is greatly ingrained into the reader while reading Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird.” Scout has two main adult figures in their life; Atticus and Calpurnia. Both of these characters teach the children important lessons and skills that will help them navigate the raging ocean of life; Calpurnia taught Scout to write while Atticus taught her to read. However, not only did these model figures enlighten Scout on institutionalized education skills, but they also edified her on multitudes of life lessons.

Mrs. Johnson says that she uses positive discipline describing the behaviors she wants to manage her classroom. When I asked her to expand on this she said that basically she lest the students know what she expects and they feel trusted to reach those expectations. They know what consequences will be and decide for themselves if they want to suffer those consequences or not. She has the words free time taped to each student desk and when they break the rules they mark off a

The antecedents to Jill’s behavior of running out of the classroom include having to interact with a child she does not get along with during reading group sessions. Ms. Jones indicated that Jill’s behavior tends to occur shortly after she asks the class to transition into their reading groups. Although having a reading deficit may also be an antecedent, there was no direct indication of this being the case.

Unlike the description of Sally in the fourth grade case study, this case study depicts Sally as an unhappy and frustrated fifth grader. Sally is described as having several weakness in the classroom, including being fidgety and out of her seat during class. It is noted in the class scenario that Sally’s teacher, Mrs. Exasperated, has to give Sally several reminders to stay in her seat, stop chewing on paper, and to stop making noise. Mrs. Exasperated seems to be very frustrated with Sally, and does “not know what to do with Sally”.

Although I have had many different types of teachers, there are two that stick out more than any others. The first was my third and sixth grade teacher. She was the best teacher I ever had. The second was my seventh grade teacher. She was the worst I think a student could have had. Both, these teachers had very different teaching styles and very different out looks on teaching. To be an effective teacher the teacher must respect the student and be willing to go the extra mile to help the students learn all they can. In this paper, I will discuss the effectiveness of these two teachers and how their teaching styles differed.

teachers; yet I feel prepared and excited to embark on this journey and test my theories in

After this Mr Braithwaite spoke to his class the next morning. He told them of his teaching intentions and what they could expect and also what he expected of them. He told them of certain courtesies which he would expect. After this Mr Braithwaite found teaching easier. In the pupils' weekly review, he had made more of an impression. The pupils wrote how they thought some of the courtesies Mr Braithwaite had implemented were stupid, but they also wrote how they were glad that he treated them like adults.

Classroom management and classroom discipline share a correlation with one another yet; they are uniquely different issues and should remain a separate focus of the teacher. (Cantor, 2006) Behavior and misbehavior also share a connection but represent different degrees of infraction. (Charles, 2008) This essay focuses on the differences and similarities of these topics and their relation to the classroom.
