Stereotypes Of Teacher

Improved Essays
A common stereotype of a teacher is that they have a role which includes them walking into a classroom, teaching the lesson that they have planned before releasing the pupils for their next lesson and repeating the same role with their next class. People can be quite naïve to the expansive list of issues that teachers deal with every minute of every day. Over a teacher’s career, they encounter regular issues such as; differentiation, progress, children with special educational needs as well as issues that have become increasingly important over the last few years including safeguarding and radicalisation issues. Not only have both of these increasingly concerning but talking and preventing these issues is a high responsibility in itself making

    Edwin And Phyllis Summary

    There are many articles that I have read over the last few weeks, but two in particular really challenged my thinking and philosophy in regards to education. In the article, “Edwin & Phyllis,” Lynn Fendler engages her readers with a meaningful dialogue between an experienced teacher and a prospective educator, debunking some of the more traditional responses that young, perspective teachers might give for wanting to become educators. The truth is that teaching can be anything but glamorous and oftentimes straddles the fine line between causing more harm then the good that it seeks to accomplish in the life of a child. Prospective teachers must not only think about what motivates them in wanting to become educators, but what type of teachers…

    Stereotype: A Threat to Intellectual Identity and Performance According to Claude Steele and Joshua Aronson, one cause of the relatively poor achievement faced by African Americans in school and by women in math and science-related fields is stereotype threat. This theory is based on the assumption that school success results from self-identification with the school and its subdomains which entails sustained motivation. If this relationship isn’t formed or is broken, achievement may suffer. Additionally, both authors advocate that an understanding and elimination of stereotype threats in an educational environment, also called “wise schooling,” is a solution to narrowing the performance gaps seen between the minority groups and white male students.…

    Black Student Stereotypes

    • 4 Pages

    I am researching the lives of Black students and how living on a predominately white school has affected them in their public and personal lives. This will give people an opportunity to hear about the cultural and societal values that black students hold and why spaces like the Black Student Union (BSU) are important and highly valued. My goals are to (1) see If potentially being the only black person in a space has discouraged black students from taking up opportunities. (2) If Black students fear the "Stereotype threat", which, according to Steele & Aronson (1995, p.1),”is being at risk of confirming, as self-characteristics, a negative stereotype about one's group. "…

    Students like to be involved in their school and sometimes cannot due to the lack of activities for their liking, so if our school had extra money on their budget, they should spend it on more extracurriculars. This would give girls more opportunity. Some sports are for boys only, such as football and lacrosse. They could also use the money to buy more gear so that they could have co-ed teams. To satisfy those who do not enjoy sports, the budget could also be spent on activities other than sports.…

    Like William Raspberry, I think stereotypes limit us from performing at our full potential. Throughout middle school, I was labeled as academically perfect by my peers. In sixth grade, I had many classes with a boy called Zach, who tended to slack off during school. Every day, he would ask for the answers to our homework. He asked questions about linear graphs, the rock cycle, and the worst of all, where Kyrgyzstan is.…

    HLTA Reflection

    • 1675 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Over the course of studying E214 I have thought greatly about my own practice working as an HLTA in a mainstream primary school, where I mainly work with children that experience barriers to learning. These barriers are due to the children having special educational needs or due to having English as an additional language. I now question whether the children I work with are part of a system that has created othering and if through them being othered they included as fully as possible or are they still subject to exclusion through the barriers they experience when accessing the national curriculum or through their progress not being as high as expected by society. (online unit 17) The focus of education appears to be about the grades and progress…

    Over this semester I think one of the most eye opening things we talked about was how women were uneducated but were the primary educators. This is crazy for me to think about, because they were expected to teach the children about everything that was going on. This also shows how much education has evolved since then. I think that it is our responsibility as teachers to the students to teach them about the issues, this can mean using other sources besides the textbook to teach the students. There are certain chunks of our history as a country that is left out in many textbooks, they try to make it seem like they are less terrible that how they really are.…

    “Oh, he plays football? He must be a dumb jock.” Stereotypes are apart of our everyday life. Instead of paying attention to how unique someone is, stereotypes are used to flesh out the rest of a person's characteristics when they can only observe a small portion of them. Every person, young or old, is labelled with either positive or negative stereotypes.…

    One Size Fits All Analysis

    ‘Many teachers use the “one size fits all” approach where all students receive the same instruction irrespective of their specific needs; however…this style of teaching benefits only a few students’ (Cavanagh & Prescott, 2015. P.150). This assignment will agree that using a one size fits all approach to teaching will only benefit a few students. Embracing classroom inclusiveness, differentiation and the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APSTs) will guide us as teachers to appreciate the diversity of our learners and inspire, motivate and engage them to achieve their individual successes. The concept of ‘One size fits all’ will not allow for equality for the students, nor a simple task for a teacher.…
