Recommended: The importance of diversity in the classroom

Every child and every classroom is very diverse and not everybody learns the same way. Accommodating to every persons needs when teaching can be difficult. Their are ways for teachers to make sure that every student is able to reach their full potential without leaving them behind. In the kindergarten class, I have observed many different types of learners. In one specific case their is a little boy with autism. He is able to sit in class with the rest of the students and gets to learn the same things that they do. The staff does a really good job at making sure he is getting enough one on one time and that he is working towards a goal. He has his own chart that he carries around with him were he picks something he wants to work toward. Each time he gets a sticker to fill his chart he gets the reward that he chose at the end of the day. He gets a sticker each time he has good behavior and each time he completes an assignment. He also has other accommodations as well such as having an au pair with him at all times and having headphones with him when the classroom gets too loud. By giving him a goal to work towards he is able to motivate himself to earn that. …show more content…

One particular child in my practicum has a plan for his behaviors. Every time he acts out in class or has a tantrum, he is given verbal warnings. After he is given a verbal warning, the teacher will “clip him down”, which means he gets 5 minutes of recess taken away. This particular child has a plan that if he is able to be good and not act out in class, he gets to play with legos at the end of the day for at least five minutes. If his behaviors get very bad, then the teacher is able to take his lego time away. That being said,

    John, a 15 year old male, is an 8th grade student attending a local middle school. John is a transfer student from another state and he been placed into an inclusion classroom because he has been identified as a student with a disability and requires an IEP. Lately, John has been verbally and physically disruptive during math class. Some of the disruptive behaviors John often exhibit in the classroom include making loud noises and jokes during instruction, calling his peers names, physically touching his peers, and grabbing group materials. John’s teacher collected data and learned that his verbal disruptive behavior occurs 4-8 times during each sixty minute class meeting, and his physical group disruptions occur 75% of the time he works with a group. After meeting with John’s other teachers, his math teacher learned that his disruptive behavior is only present during math class. According to John’s math test scores on his IEP, his math instructor also learned that math is a challenging subject for John and he is significantly below grade level. Both John’s math teacher and his IEP team reached an agreement that they would like to decrease the number of times John disrupts instruction and eventually eliminate the disruptive behavior. The replacement behavior for John is to remain focused and on task during math instruction and assigned activities without triggering any disruptions (i.e., distracting loud noises or jokes causing the class to go into a laughing uproar, physical contact with peers, name calling, or grabbing his peers’ materials). Instead of John being punished for his disruptive behavior, the replacement behavior would allow him to remain in math class, and he will also be able to receive posit...

    I have had the luck of being the oldest of my mothers’ seven children, and the pleasure of having three of my own, and one step-son. I’ve spent a lot of time changing diapers, wiping noses, and kissing ouchies. I’ve carried babies on my hip that I’ve seen off to kindergarten, helped dressed for the first school dance, attended their graduation, and even been there when they have had their first baby. I have spent a lot of time analyzing their behavior, moods, or lack thereof. I’ve concluded that there are 4 types of children, I have been blessed with one of each. The 4 different types are: The Superstar, The Kool Kat, The Lil’ Mama or Little Man (depending on the sex of the child), and The Rebel.
