1) “Taming the fox” metaphor is useful to set a goal almost for the little prince. For one taming the fox will have a significant goal for both the little prince and the fox. They both will need to know that they can trust and believe in each other. Which is essentially for a student – teacher relationship. Towards differentiation the little prince and the fox will have different ways is showing their trust and belief in each other. One metaphor that could relate to the “taming the fox” is teaching the master.
First that comes to mind in the quote given is what the student can see. Not what he or she can physically see but what the teacher is showing. Meaning that its important that the teacher shows ways that what they are teaching is the

It’s very important that students know that there are classroom rules. Some examples would be no cheating, turn homework in on time, and to ask for help when needed. In the classroom I think its important that student know when to have stuff finished, so if they have a assignment that needs to be done in an hour the teacher should let the students know the best ways to be able to get the assignment completed. Giving them step by step instructions can help, that way they also know what the teacher expects from them. If I were a student, elementary, I would like my teacher to be able to have a one on one with them. It could be just once a month and for 5 to 10 minutes. It doesn’t have to be that long but I think it would benefit having the teacher show that yes I have seen your work and progress you have been doing every well here is were you can improve a little. It would let me know that the teacher knows that I do my work and how well of student I am and if I need to do or work on something else o better my learning. Shows that the teacher can focus on each of
When you praise your students, what words come to mind? Intelligent, smart? According to the article “How Not to Talk to Your Kids” by Po Bronson, these words may do more harm than good. When labeling a student “smart”, they are more likely to rely on their intelligence and disregard the importance of effort entirely. Alternatively, students should be commended for their effort. Effort-praising advocates working hard to get the results you desire. Praising students for their effort can promote them to challenge themselves, strain less, and develop growth mindsets.
Emerson uses multiple instances of strong diction to establish different tones throughout his essay. With these tones, he is able to share his opinion on how the current state of education is to his audience. By using the words “tampering”,”thwarting”, and “hindered”, Emerson creates this negative and foreboding tone to get his message across of how bad education is and shows the audience that forcing children to learn a certain way is detrimental (Emerson 189). This word choice shows that Emerson's views on how children are taught have more negative connotations than positive.
Results of students who received praise for intelligence: The students in this category had negative results after receiving praising. When asked afterwards if they wanted to do the same level of problems or try more challenging ones, they chose the task that would allow them to look smart and do well on. Consequently, while telling a child how smart he or she is, we are sending a message to not take risks and just look the part. Afterwards, these children were given a hard task, which they performed poorly on, and they know longer liked the problems and did not want to practice them at home. Children also felt “dumb” and when given the initial task (in which they did well), they performed significantly worse. Lastly, their opinions of intelligence reflected that it was an innate capacity as though you cannot improve.
In the stories “Old Ben” and “Fox Hunt” they use flashback and foreshadowing. “Old Ben” is by Jesse Stuart and the story is about how you can make friends in an unlikely situation. “Fox Hunt” is by Lensey Namioka and this story is more about Andy’s ancestors, exams, and when Lee appears out of nowhere and Lee is shy. The authors use foreshadowing and flashback alike and different in these stories.
In “The Secret To Raising Smart Kids” Carol Dweck argues that you shouldn't raise your child to believe that he or she is smart, but instead praise them for their hard work and dedication to get good grades. A child who is raised by hearing that he or she is smart all the time will only let them grow up to think that he or she is smart. They require a fixed mind-set so they will believe that they are intelligent because their knowledge and skills are present. A study that Dweck discovered performed in the 1990’s showed that 85% of parents believed that praising a child’s intelligence was important for boosting their self esteem. An example of how to raise a child is to give them room to grow on their own
After reading Carol Dweck’s article, “The Secret to Raising Smart Kids”, it occurred to me how much a mind-set can be changed from one to the other with a few simple words of encouragement or by discouraging them. To improve a kid’s willingness to learn we should be praising the trials and error they are making. Help them by explaining what they did wrong and figure out what it is that needs more attention. “Many people assume that superior intelligence or ability is a key to success.” However, according to some research in the past few years, shows that too much of praise of “talent” or “complete intellect” leads to unmotivated learners because of fear of failing.

In the 21st century, teachers experience many behavioral issues with students in the classroom and face challenges that are very difficult to resolve. School districts have different expectations about how students must behave during school and teachers have their own expectations about how students must behave in their classroom. Every educator has different classroom expectations and students must follow specific standards; therefore, the responsibility of the teacher is to discuss the standards with all students and make sure those expectations are clear. According to Jones and Jones (2016), teachers whose students made greater achievement gains were observed establishing rules and procedures, and carefully monitoring student’s work. In
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.
When one allows some form of behavior to thrive in the classroom without proper guidance, it quickly develops into unacceptable behavior. It is better to prevent classroom incivility than to deal with the consequences later on. The instructors can incorporate their expectations of behavior in the class syllabus and revisit them from time to time. These may include class attendance, lateness, and use of laptops during class, and side talking. Clear policies should be set regarding the punishments for breaking any of the set rules. The institution’s code of conduct and the penalties for grave breaches should also be included so that students are aware of the policies and the expectations of the institution (Miller et al.
...emotional response. Once an emotional response is stirred up students should want to take matter into their own hands, demanding change. Skills should be taught through assessments and projects; such as communication skills, and developing their own voice. Once students take matter into their own hands change will come about.

The role of the teacher is to instruct his students with valuable and worthy lessons that would produce a favorable change in the life of the students. In order for the instruction to be effective, and in order for the change in the life of the students to be lifelong, the teacher must instill discipline and “make disciples” out of students. Since the law of apperception dictates that all learning depends on skills that were previously acquired, should a teacher succeed in instilling discipline in his students, then his students will be prepared for the next set of lessons that life has in store. Thus, the teacher will have performed his role.
Teaching classroom rules and procedures will contribute to a safe and secure environment for students. Classroom rules should be the same for everyone, however, like I mentioned above there are exceptions to be made on an individual basis. All interactions within the classroom should be positive. There will be no teasing or harassing of any kind. Respect, trust, and understanding will be the foundation of classroom rules. It is important to keep an open mind and treat each student with fairness, with the hope that in return students will learn to treat each other as equals and with
