Your assessments show that the student is well-below grade level in reading and mathematics. Answer both of the questions below, keeping each answer to about 150 words in…

    Support Resource Interview Students with behavioral issues in school may not have access to the support that they need because the schools they are do not have the funding necessary to work with these students. These students have a higher chance of suspension, which causes a loss of information due to days of missed instruction (Stagman & Cooper, 2010). Services are available to combat the issues, but almost eighty percent of students with issues do not receive any services for their behavioral issues (Stagman & Cooper, 2010). Many times, mental health services are needed for these students. When interviewing two teachers from Sprout U School of the Arts about their support system for students, there were similar and dissimilar answers.…

The teacher can accomplish this task through motivating the students through lessons, tests, and a positive classroom environment. If the teacher is fully committed to their student’s best interests, the classroom will ultimately succeed, even if there are challenges along the way.…

Most of my follow-up evaluations have either been waived or conducted in five minutes or less in which the principal hits upon the highlights of my observation. Very few teaching lessons have been learned through these interactions. In her article though, Shelly Arneson includes sound practices that can be implemented to alleviate many of the concerns of the evaluation process. Her basic premise is to shift the dialogue from inspection-based conversation to a reflection-based conversation.…
