Nero Best Practices

Decent Essays
In the article “Best Practices for All Students,” by Marrow, Tracet, and Del Nero, the authors discuss how as teachers, we need to be aware of our student’s needs, backgrounds, learning styles, where they should be for their age regarding language and reading development, and so on. In a classroom, we may have about 25 students that we need to modify our instruction to fit. Additionally, with such a young age group, we must put in more effort keep our students engaged. This alone is a lot to think about, thus I would say overwhelming is a good word to describe the feeling I had reading this article. As I read about Ms. Nero’s classroom, I understood that, even though there is a lot of information one must know, if you stay organized and know

    While observing in Beth Johnston’s First Grade classroom at Eugene Field Elementary School, I have noticed some effective and ineffective classroom management practices that she uses while I have been in the classroom. One effective classroom management technique that I have observed is that Mrs. Johnston puts her student’s desks into groups of three or four. This is an effective technique because she puts her strong students with her not as strong students, which can help with the students who might need a little help staying on track with the lesson that they are supposed to get done. Also, Mrs. Johnston has changed the groups a couple of times since I have been observing in the classroom. This I believe is effective because the students…

    Preaching to the Angels “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” This is famous quote from Atticus Finch has been proven true many a time. No one can ever really understand what someone goes through unless they experience it for themselves. Teachers, for example, go through a great deal of trouble sometimes, but most people wouldn’t be able to see that unless they stood in that teacher’s shoes.…

    In today’s world, many novels center around teenagers, such as dystopian books like The Hunger Games or Fahrenheit 451, in which they are portrayed as revolutionary and intelligent, a contrast to how teenagers in real life are seen as lazy (often due to the growing prevalence of technology in daily life) and therefore having less valuable opinions. However, many teenagers, such as famous ones Malala Yousafzai and Kendall Jenner or the many who are in protests, have been able to disprove this claim (CITE). Teenagers in real life usually have a schedule that revolves around school for their formative years, considering that they are often told how important an education is. This means that changes to schooling greatly affect them, such as…

We are sharing our personal knowledge with those who will one day control the world. We put a little piece of ourselves in every student we encounter.

Along with these supports, I was extremely impressed by the way Mrs. Flinn handled classroom management. Even though I observed during a very exciting week, she had great control over her students.…

    Classroom management is crucial for every teacher to have in a successful learning environment. I believe that students need to be controlled and disciplined; students at this age need to be guided in the right path. They are capable of self-discipline but need to be shown what the rules of the classroom are and what is the expectation of the teacher. I believe that students are basically good but that the environment around them influences them tremendously. If they maintain busy with instruction then they will not have time to be disruptive and they need to be guided to behave appropriately.…
