A class of thirty students will comprise of thirty different personalities and it is the role of the teacher to address these student’s personalities without excluding any. Identifying the student’s strengths and weaknesses therefore is the most important thing to do. In order to meet the ...

The relationships between students and teachers should be trust and caring; otherwise, the effectiveness of study will be minimal. In his article “Self-Regulation and Teacher-Student Relationships,” Ph.D. Steven Fleisher writes about the interaction between education and psychology and its positive influence on students’ self-regulation. Self-regulation is a process when people plan something, act according to these plans, and self-estimate the outcomes (Fleisher, 2012, p. 23). The main aim of a teacher is to show the value in the task, so that the students will seek to set a goal (Zumbrunn, Tadlock & Roberts, 2011, p. 8). Fleisher illustrates two theories of ...

Introduction
As Ford, Stuart and Vakil (2014) have clearly noted in their article Culturally Responsive Teaching in the 21st Century Inclusive Classroom, the main challenge that faces public schools in the US involves the ever increasing need to meet the exceptional or special needs of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students. That is, the need to have a socially or culturally inclusive classroom in light of the diverse nature of the US population is becoming more relevant than ever before. This, they note, is informed also by the fact that there exists a strong link between learning and culture. ...

Exploring the Relationship between Learning and Leadership

The aim of the researchers in this article is to connect two lines of research namely learning and leadership. They attempt to relate the manner in which people learn to their leadership styles (Brown & Posner, 2001). According to Brown & Posner (2001), transformational learning is a cognitive process in which the learner reflects critically on his or her experiences in a supportive environment that encourage dialogue and relationship with the end product being personal development. Experience triggers reflective thinking that leads to transformation. Leadership skills are obtained from job experiences, professional contacts, and formal education. Learning from job assignments and ...

Question 1: Compare and contrast BISC and CALP

BISC (Basic Interpersonal Communicative skills refer to that language needed by students to function in the social situation thus also referred to as social language. CALP (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency) on the other hand is the academic language necessary for success of the student in academic endeavors by being able to use more advanced and complex language. BISC is acquired after about two years of educational experience but inadequate in upper elementary school. CALP continues throughout for five to seven years where most of this time is spent in the classroom. Teachers should, therefore, know that second language acquisition ...

The day was March 3rd, 1987 and Helen Keller was seven years old at the time. She describes her experience prior to this meeting, and prior to her education, as being immersed in a dense fog. This fog was lifted by her education. Her teacher taught her to spell words by tracing the individual letters into her hand. Helen Keller describes her frustrations as a deaf and blind girl with no knowledge of language, and how her teacher slowly ...

For the purposes of summary-related assignment I have decided to concentrate on the issue of managing teacher’s work in multicultural environment, so that he/she can meet the needs of every student irrespectively of student’s background and cultural peculiarities. To analyze this issue I have selected to summarize the article by M.L. Fuller (1994), published in the Jounral of Teaching, called “The monocultural graduate in the multicultural environment.A chellenge for teacher educators”.
Topicality of the topic, highlighted in the article, is called forth by current globalization and related migration trends, which cannot be underestimated, when considering the ...

Introduction

The article has explored several differences among mathematicians and mathematical educators which have generated sever debates. The differences are not based solely on difference on points of view but on poor communication and language used by the two groups. Therefore, the article focuses on areas which the two groups agree. For example, the two groups generally accepted the idea that algorithms are poorly taught. In addition they also agreed that, continuous practice is necessary in enabling learners to develop computational fluency, calculators should be used with caution to avoid interference in understanding the basic mathematical procedures, due to usefulness ...

Module 7: Comments on Discussion Board Posts

Response on Post #1: Shalonda
Shalonda, your observation post was very illuminating. The authentic instructional practice using ‘Reciprocal Teaching’ was indeed an effective model that enabled students to see themselves from the perspective of the teacher, who assumed the role of a student and intentionally made mistakes to practice and develop analytical skills of the students. I strongly believe that it showed greater potentials for learning since the students were not intimidated by just being told; rather, by seeing the mistakes that were normally committed in solving mathematical problems, they took the point of view of an instructor which ...

Introduction
Several researches have been done into the effect that reflective processes have on a teacher’s learning process. Many are based on the assumption that teaching is associated with tr previous experiences in schooling and their cultural values. In a bid to assist teachers in recognizing the extent of their knowledge and to overcome any misconceptions that they may harbor, as well as to help them to gain a conventional understanding of what they teach and learn, they have to be given a way to explore their culture and knowledge.
They have to be exposed to a reflective process that promotes ...

Reflection as a student

As a student, this was quite a hard task to accomplish. First of all, it sought to look at an issue that could be considered to be abstract; an issue in which one understands it but it is quite hard to explain exactly what it is. It was confusing even to start on how to research and the kind of information to incorporate. More so, there was no much information on the same, which made the writing quite a problem.

Another challenge was that the issue looked to be somewhat philosophical. That is, there did not seem to be a right or wrong ...

Behavior is termed as the way and means of getting something or rather avoid something. It is important to note that the behavior is earned and is an action that is both observable and measurable. It is observable in the aspect of what is seen or heard. For instance, if a subject is speaking, yelling, writing or even dancing. The behavior is more about how a certain feeling is expressed for instance by making faces, yelling, or even portraying various body postures. Behaviors can also be measured in that it can be defined and described. For instance, in this case a teacher ...

Parents are usually the most influential people in a child’s life. The involvement of a parent affects a child’s social and emotional development. Parents control the appropriate and inappropriate social behaviors that their children learn, such as self-control, empathy, cooperation, and respect for others. These being the case, a missing parent can negatively affects a child’s emotional and social development since there is only one parent doing the work of what many other children have two people engaging in completing. A disproportionate number of ethnic minority children of low socio-economic status live in single-parent households in the United States. According to ...

The basic responsibility of a teacher is to understand, recognize and appreciate the nature and behavior of a child. Every child is unique and does possess special characters. No other person knows a child better than its parents, and it is critical for a teacher to partner and get involved in the discussions with the parents to know more about the child. A caring and an indulging teacher can always instigate a confidence in the parents and create a belief that they can take care of the children with special needs in the absence of parents. The need of a parent is to hand over their ...

Educational system failure could be a national problem since education and knowledge are the root to everything new in life. Therefore, the instruction’s role and instructional strategies need to be precise and practical, which is one of the central focuses of executive education.
According to Schon(1987), the instructor’s role needs to be reviewed. Instead of teachers using the traditional lecture technique, instructors should use more interactive techniques by promoting dialogue and role-play with students, as well as performing as coach or mentor. This would allow students to stimulate the discovery of new meanings along with new ...

ABSTRACT.

Teaching involves leadership in guiding students and taking actions that create a motivating environment. Amongst the challenges faced by teachers are facing unmotivated students and developing positive attitude towards their stay in school and success, in learning. Sometimes it becomes hard for these teachers to identify the unmotivated learners and the reasons behind their lack of motivation. Assisting an unmotivated student may not perfect the student to A+ grades but may improve on their efforts towards learning and develop positivity in attitude. As much as it is the teacher’s responsibility to motivate learners, parents and principals play a critical part ...

Major Purpose and Problem Defined

Courses in communication, especially introductory courses, are generally taught in a large classroom setting with lectures aligned to teach basic concepts to the students. These classroom settings are aligned such because there are several constraints, such as costs and budgets because of which lecture settings are best suited for introductory communication courses. However, these instructional settings then limit interaction and dialogue as well in teaching. This poses a number of problems despite the advocacy by a number of researchers that dialogue in communication courses is important. One such problem is that in a larger classroom, such as a lecture hall, dialogue is not possible ...
