Management of Pupil Behaviour
In this report I intend to focus on the different strategies of quieting down and calming the class. Managing the behaviour of the classroom has always been a problem for the class teacher. When given the responsibility of 30 children, all individual, all different, it is a hard task to try and also keep your class peaceful and co-operative. The Elton report stated that ‘Primary schools had to deal with many incidents of minor disruptive behaviour e.g. shouting out, pushing, running in school, name calling, defiance.’ (Elton Report 1989)
Because of these incidentds of disruptive behaviour it is important that teachers have in place their own methods of calming the class, or in some cases of repremanding them. The different methods of claming or repremanding the class are often debated amongst theorists. Johnstone, M is of the opinion ‘A lost temper is often needed in order for the pupils to realise the consequence of their actions’(Johnstone1992) Johnstone believes that a teacher needs from time to time to loose his/her temper in order for the class to notice that when they are disruptive the teacher gets angry and unpleasent. Wilson and Cowell do not agree with this belief. ‘It is essential for teachers to remain in control of themselves at all times, so that they may be a source of security for the pupils. They can be excited or enthusiastic or funny, or all sorts of things, but they must feel secure.’ (Wilson & Cowell 1990) As we can s...
In the novella, Apt Pupil by Stephen King, the author illustrates and explains to us what his concept of evil is by showing us the ways society only see's and accepts the superficial aspects of people, like Todd the "All-American kid" (111) who is acceptable in every way and although Todd seems like the American ideal that most people view as what America should be like, society and people ignore or pretend that a person perfect like Todd or a man like Dussander who "exuded a certain courtly charm that all the young ladies responded to" (247) could get the nurses to blush, was actually able to think that killing "winos were fun" (210) and that "they made him feel alive" (210). Todd's grandfather was the type of man who had a "Left Hand Book" (185) where he helps out the people who go to his store. Todd's father soon grows to hate those people for causing him to wear Good will pants and the values that Dicks father has is twisted by Todd's father and the hate Todd's father has transferred to Todd, but in a more extreme manner.
Even though the themes were similar, the plot of the movie and the play were rather different. In the movie, Mercutio, Romeo’s friend, got an invitation to Lord Caplet’s ball where Romeo and Juliet meet, but in the movie Romeo and this friends go to Lord Capulet’s party uninvited. What's more, is that when Romeo was at the ball he was recognized by Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, from the sound of his voice in the play, but in the movie Tybalt sees him. In addition to that one scene where Juliet was hysterical because she thought Romeo was dead was completely absent in the movie.
Johnny is a hero because of bravery like Ponyboy. For example when Johnny killed Bob he did it to save Ponyboy. If you killed someone you'd need to be brave to do it. After that event Johnny and Ponyboy went to the old abandoned church on Jay Mountain to hide. They left the church with Dally and went to Dairy Queen to talk. When they were talking Johnny said he was going to turn himself in. That was a brave decision because he could be executed. Next they went back to the church and as they pulled up they saw the church was on fire. They ran into the church to rescue the kids, even though they could have
Everyone should know what a hero is. Most people would think a man or a woman in a cool suit and had super strength. But that is not what we are talking about today we are talking about 3 people in one book called the outsiders. And the heroes in this don't have superpowers they are just brave. And they are Greasers Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally.
Throughout her entire time teaching, Jane Satrom has had two students tell her “F**k you!” to her face which might have caused other people to lose their temper. However, Mrs. Satrom attributes her large amount of self-control to waiting tables for 12 years where she learned to calm herself down. Thanks to this, she has never lost her temper with
Humans have been studying eye movements for many years now. The first recorded person to publish studies that contributed to the field of eye tracking was Louis Émile Javal [1, 2] in 1878, roughly a century before computers started becoming commonly used. Javal observed human eye movement while reading and was the first to observe that eyes make a combination of rapid movements (which he called saccades) and short stops (which he called fixations). Javal conducted this experiment without the assistance of any instruments, using only his naked eye.
Many heroes appear in the book The Outsiders. The characters that I think are heroes are Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally. The definition of a hero for me is a person who is brave enough to do things to help someone even if it is a dangerous thing to do.A hero also cares for others and people can rely on them. Ponyboy was a hero because he saved peoples’ lives. Johnny died as a hero because he also saved the kids from the burning church and he was also relied on by his gang members. Dally was hero mainly because he cared for his gang and people relied on him. These three characters were heroes in this book according to my definition of a hero.
The job of a teacher is never easy but we have seen how cooperative discipline and enabling students to feel capable, connected and contributing can improve classroom management and maybe even our own moods. If we create an environment of mutual respect and give our students legitimate power of voice and choice in the classroom we will see positive results in improved student behavior and student achievement. Because when our students believe that they can succeed, they will.
Associating Gucci products with the rich and famous will boost the image of the company as something unique or prestigious (Vilamor). Consumers will want to be associated with Gucci as it gives them a feeling of class and prestige. Gucci should largely employ this move to penetrate the Asian market as most consumers in those regions follow what their idols do and wear (Gucci official site). Pricing can be employed in two ways in as far as marinating competitive advantage is concerned. Firstly, Gucci should take advantage of the low supplier bargaining power and negotiate for better pricing for its raw materials (Pratap). The company outsources its raw materials from different suppliers thus ensuring that no single supplier has a significant amount of bargaining power
‘The Birth of the clinic’ which was written in 1963 by French philosopher Michel Foucault, first referenced the term “medical gaze” to explain the process of a medical diagnosis. This is an interesting form of the gaze, as it also states a power dynamic that is created between the doctor and the patient, which reflects on the inquisition of medical knowledge within society. Foucault states his theory of the gaze by illustrating a dynamic within “power relations” and disciplinary in his work ‘Discipline and Punish – The birth of the prison’, written in 1975 which analyses the social and theoretical mechanisms stating the changes in the Western penal systems such as prisons and schools, which contain apparatuses of power within
Classroom management is one of the most essential skills to becoming an effective classroom teacher. Teachers who possess the ability to manage their classroom are able to create an environment where learning is the focus (Burden & Cooper, 2004). Although teachers may be well prepared and skilled with classroom management, at some point in time they will encounter a student or students whose behavior hovers authority and the functioning of the class. There is no simple way to deal with these difficult situations, but there are strategies to help. The first step is to identify the purpose of the behavior. A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), is a systematic set of strategies that are used to determine the underlying function or purpose of a behavior so that an effective intervention plan can be developed (NPDC, 2014).
Self control is important to teach to children because they learn the concept of courage, honesty, deal effectively with emotions, such as anger, and to be patience. Teachers need to demonstrate a positive attitude when they are dealing with different type of behavior. To have a successful and positive response from our children I as a future teacher have to give the attention that they need. For example: If Karen take away Susan‘s pencil and she comes to me to explain the situation, and I ignore...
Dreikurs’ model relies on the idea that “a misbehaving child is only a discouraged child trying to find his place” (Jones & Jones, 2013, p. 33). When a student is feeling inadequate, they will filter through some or all of the four attention-getting behaviors. These disruptive behaviors are: attention getting, power, revenge, and displays of inadequacy. Dreikurs believed that when a child fails to feel as though he or she belongs, they will “act out” in various ways in order to gain acceptable. Sometimes these behaviors work, and other times, students are left feeling more frustrated. For example, a student who may fall behind in class may use inappropriate jokes or commentary to solicit respect from classmates. The student may then try exhibiting power over the administrator in the classroom further trying to increase their status in the social climate. If the student does not receive the attention they seek, they may try to seek revenge on the teacher or even other students in the classroom. In many cases, the disgruntled student gives up entirely and will revert to using phrases such as, “I don’t care anyway,” or “I meant to do that.” Instead of being instructed on how to cope effectively with their emotions, students default into primitive fight or flight strategies. Because of a student’s inability to feel socially equa...
Classroom management is an important component of successful teaching. It is that teachers create and maintain appropriate behavior of students in classroom settings. (1…) Kessler (2012) mentions that “[s]tudies suggest that up to 51% of children may have a diagnosable mental health disorder, many of which involve severe impairment at home or school” (Kessler et al., 2012). Classroom management is defined as “ [c]lassroom management is the term educators use to describe methods of preventing misbehavior and dealing with it if it arises. In other words, it is the techniques teachers use to maintain control
As stated earlier, I believe Classroom Management is the key to how learning can take place and students can feel safe participating. I hope to create an environment that is conducive to learning and involves all my students. I believe the most important part of classroom management is not the behavior problems but creating a good rapport with the students, encouraging them to succeed and setting high expectations for them. As well as using an engaging a curriculum, I believe you can create this environment and it will limit the behavior problems in your classroom from the
