Recommended: Reflections on lesson planning

The purpose of this paper is to review three peer review articles on excellence in teaching a first grade class and or an elementary level class. In order to be successful in a classroom a teacher must be up to date with the latest methods for enhancing their lessons and abilities for students to learn. It is important for teachers to have supportive interactions with their students in order for the student’s achievements to be successful. It is also important that teachers provide hands on common teaching techniques in their lesson and class. Last but not least it is very important for teachers to make their students feel like with instructional and emotional support from their teacher that they will not fail.
In the first article “The Journal of Educational Psychology” states that teacher-student interactions are very important and can change a students path in achievement. They suggest that when teacher-student interactions take place in a positive matter whether one on one, small groups, or the whole class, that these teacher-student interactions deliver the students with the correct support needed for their learning potential. Also, these positive interactions then can help set the student up for other positive paths in the classroom. Examples of these interactions are categorized into three realms of support: emotional, organizational, and instructional. Teachers who offer a high amount of emotional support to their students in the classroom are creating a safe environment for their students where they can then feel as if they can take positive ventures in their students learning ability. Also it’s stated that an organized classroom can help provide productive routines and also helps support students attentiveness as well a...

    This article is about social-emotional learning and how it can potentially benefit kindergarten students. This study’s purpose was to consider kindergarten when promoting social and emotional learning in schools.

This curriculum tests the competence of sixty-seven kindergarteners in both social and emotional areas.

In the end, the results indicate that students increase their social skills, and the curriculum decreases their natural instinct of internalizing behaviors.

Some teachers also said stated that they lack of professional development opportunities to teach social and emotional learning (SEL) as well as the lack of preparations from universities (Reynolds, 2016). A research also states that 83 % of the teachers want to receive further training for social and emotional learning (SEL) but unfortunately only very few teachers received its training according to University of British Columbia (Reichl & Zakrzewski, 2014). The lack of training provided to teachers may be due to not a lot of schools implementing social and emotional learning (SEL) in schools or it may be also due to a larger number of teachers were not interested or keen in participating in the training because they are not aware of the impact it can bring to themselves and the result that social emotional learning can improve a child’s well -

  • Emotional and Social Development

    1448 Words  | 3 Pages

    Emotional self-regulation refers to the strategies used to adjust emotions to a contented level so goals can be accomplished. This requires voluntary, effortless management of emotions (Berk, 2007). Promoting young children’s social-emotional development is essential for three interconnected reasons: Positive social-emotional development provides a base for life-long learning; Social skills and emotional self-regulation are integrally related to later academic success in school, and prevention of future social and behavioral difficulties is more effective than later remediation (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). Research on early childhood has highlighted the strength of the first five years of a child’s life in their social-emotional development. Negative early experiences can damage children’s mental health and affect cognitive, behavioral, and social-emotional development (Cooper, Masi, & Vick, 2009)....

    Children should be socially and emotionally ready to be able to make the social adjustment in the classroom environment. Preschool teachers should focus more on children’s social skills than rather pressured into teaching academics, but that may not be considered best practice. In fact, children who have been rejected by their peers in kindergarten shows poor school performance. Children who lack social and emotional skills are being kicked out of kindergarten. As a result, they are not receiving the information that is being taught. Factors that influence children’s transition to kindergarten are children’s home environment and the preschool program they attend between preschool and kindergarten (Deyll-Gingold, 2007). Here are some kindergarten expectations students should know before they enter

    As I read chapter 6, I found the section on internalizing behaviors to be interesting. As educators, we often assume that students with emotional or behavior disorders are aggressive without knowing and understanding the facts concerning the student. Internalizing behaviors is results of a lack of social interaction with others. The students lack the necessary social skills to interact with children their own age to make friends. They are often withdrawn and fearful. Also, I found the section concerning teachers establishing and sustaining strong teacher-student relationships interesting. This section was interesting to me because I believe it is essential for teachers to be educated and trained to understand the triggers of children with emotional

  • Parental Involvement in Child's Education

    2556 Words  | 6 Pages

    Telling your child's hobbies, pets, as well as learning difficulties and strengths will provide for a more intimate school year (Spencer, 2001). One of the ways in which parents play a critical role in their children?s social development is by encouraging their interactions with other youth (Updegraff, 2001). If children are able to work in group settings, this will not only help the child get along with other students, but it will also lessen the amount of disruptions in class thereby making it easier for the teacher to teach (Barbour, 1997). Parents need to stress the importance of little things your child can do to smooth the teacher?s day and help himself learn, such as listening when classmates answer questions, writing his name on assignments, and keeping his desk and work area tidy (Spencer, 2001). Parents can help your children avoid interrupting. Teachers love enthusiasm but yelling out too often will cause unneeded disruptions. Explain the good times to speak, such as when the teacher is inviting questions and the not so good times, such as when the teacher is talking to another student or giving directions (Spencer, 2001). Practicing these classroom manners will help with less disruptions and a better teaching and learning environment. Parental involvement promotes emotional growth of a child. The attachment between a child and parent is a long-lasting, emotional, learned response. It is the attachment in a parent and child relationship that forms the basis for a child to trust or not to trust their environment (Gestwicki, 2000). This proper attachment is essential for a child to trust other adults, such as their teachers and also to trust other students and make friends.
