Teacher Expectations

    In the article “making the grade,” by Kurt Weisenfeld, a professor of physics at Georgia tech university, grumbles about a problem that he has been encountered with most of his students in the past ten years. He figured that his students are worried about their grades, however they don’t put enough efforts based on the grades they desire. On the other hand most of his students are studying engineering and science. They answer the exam questions partial, but they are not able to have the final answer correct, therefore it is impossible for those students who have a responsibility to build a bridge or do their jobs precisely. Not only the students’ view point is devastating for themselves, but also it is pernicious for the society.…

    My experience in J.P. Elder Middle School was very interesting. The first thing that made an impression on me was how the teacher talked to the students. His tone of voice was very strict and loud, but he was trying to be as helpful as he could. I feel as if he was trying to make sure they understood while making sure they kept their attention on him. But the result of the loud voice hurt my ears, and it almost made me want to zone out.…

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.…
