Why Do Unintentionally Disinviting Student

Decent Essays
Valerie,

I do agree with you, as teachers we should be aware of what is being said to students. Think if a student what is welcomed to learn then their success is higher than those have a negative interaction with teachers. You did have a a good point about tone, and how it can give off an impression on student. I think that teachers do unintentionally disinviting students, and they might not be aware of their action.

    After last week’s writing, I found myself in quite a fog of insecurity. Thankfully the most recent installment of YITE brought me back to the sunny side of teaching philosophy. Reading about the art of teaching was rather inspiring even. The quote from the text, “approaching instruction in a variety of ways to provide multiple paths for students to both learn the content and develop the skills of the curriculum is artistry (pg 147),” caught my attention. Often in my life I have gotten the impression that some people consider the position of a teacher as that of merely a figurehead, an adult to put in front of a group of kids to keep them occupied.…

    After various years of teaching, John Holt comes to the conclusion that schools are a place filled with danger and silence. Schools are initially known to be a place of refuge but are not always that kind of a place. Throughout the essay, “How Teachers Make Students Hate Reading”, educator and writer John Holt uses several examples from his prior teaching experiences and gives his readers insight based on what experiments he has put the students at trial with, that later exemplify the meaning of his claim. In the personal narrative essay “Aria”, written by Richard Rodriguez, I was able to find similarities that provide insight about the pressures children are bound to feel in school which Holt points out as well. Holt’s ideas concerning students…

    This would result in a crisis that would have consisted of the teacher dismissing the student from class and directing them to their dean’s office (Turner, 1976). Another thing that struck me was how the students would interrupt Ms. McLean’s teaching and how loosely profanity was used by the students in the English classroom. Ms. McLean speaks to the students as though they were on the same level: she says things like “I heart you,” “that’s stupid,” and makes fun of the students in front of the whole classroom. After the class ended, I briefly spoke to Ms. McLean about my project and immediately noticed her change in speech. She said phrases like, “it was such a…

    Learning Styles and Study Skills in the Classroom Why is it important for content teachers to "understand" the learning styles of both themselves and their students and to “teach” applicable study skills to students in their classes?

    A stereotype is a generalized statement or belief applied to everyone in a group, as though the entire group is the same. Any belief or characteristic, applied to an entire group, immediately makes it invalid because no characteristics are held by everyone in the group. Stereotypical beliefs sometimes come from some degree of truth, however. There is probably someone in the group who fits the stereotype. The challenge is to acknowledge people as individuals without generalizing individual behaviors or characteristics.…

    While I have been observing there has been numerous times that while Mrs. Johnston has been trying to do a lesson and she picks on students to answer questions, the students have no idea what has been going on or even what they needed to of said. For example, the class was going over what three characteristics a sentence needed in order to be a sentence. When she picked on three different students they had no idea what the class was talking about or even what they needed in order to have a…

    People have always been easier to mold into the way society wants them the younger they are, but in modern society, children are expected to attend school throughout high school. This is what makes middle school a critical total institution. During middle school students are shaped by their peers, teachers, and the structure of school into how society wants them to act. A student’s peer group exemplifies Erving Goffman’s definition of demeanor in a middle school.…

    Once upon a time, if you were able to denote your signature with an X you were considered literate (Reay, 1991). Today however the meaning of literate is far more complex. Whilst defined in its most simplistic form as being ‘able to read and write’ the term literate is also applied to being ‘educated or knowledgeable’ (Stevenson & Vaite, 2011. p831) in a specific area such as quantitatively or technologically literate.…

    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.…

    As we have learned in class, teachers attitude matters just as much as the teacher’s knowledge. In “White Teacher: I Thought I Could Teach my Black Students. Then One Told Me Why I Couldn't”, we see the struggle of Brook Cohen, who is more than qualified to teach. Cohen stopped teaching English in Los Angeles Unified School District in order to pursue a PhD. Here he gained access to the best knowledge on how to get the best results in the classroom. But as we learn in his encounter, talking about doing something and then actually executing it in a classroom are very different.…

    The concept of education is how to learn, understand material, and knowledge that is taken in. Through education certain values and beliefs are developed. These beliefs, habits, and skills shape a student’s character. There are two controlling factors that come into play when discussing the concept of education; one is the teacher and the other is the student. As illustrated in Richard Feynman’s article, “O Americano Outra Vez,” a student’s learning focus is overwhelmingly influenced by the teaching style they are subject too.…

    The evidence I have for the collegiate/peer feedback is the comment I received from the mentor teacher on my self-evaluation form, the self-evaluation form for the self-assessment/reflection, and 3 students surveys from each of the three classes that I taught for the student feedback (see Appendix 1). Area of strength An area of strength for my teaching practice would be the different teaching methods and multiple forms of literacy that I’ve included in the lessons, as I have been trying to do a different activity for each lessons, or includes visual, music, and videos in the lessons to give students different approaches to the contents. My mentor teacher commented the different tasks as “interesting and useful” for the students. The students…
