There are various themes that children stories address. There are children’s' books that describe empires, class, love, families, and other issues. Such topics are very helpful as they help a child to grow and develop by relating to some of the stories. The setting of such stories depicts different classes and backgrounds to give the story a specific taste. Some stories have a rural setting while others revolve around urban life. The social groupings represented in these stories are either rich…

Before the start of class… Before the start of this course, I had a vague understanding of what it meant to be a supervisor. My understanding of this role centered on the idea that as a supervisee, I would go to my supervisor and discuss a case. Sometimes, I would see my supervisors jot down notes, other times they would merely listen to the case being presented. There was never a constant in the way that any two supervisors would approach the supervisory role. This instilled in me the idea…

Discuss the ideas Eubanks, Murphy, and Mumford have for helping offset creative advantage in some students to benefit all students in the classroom? In the article, the positive affect paradigm associated with hypothesis #3 “individual differences in intuitive ability will be more strongly related to creative problem-solving when people are working under conditions of neutral as opposed to positive affect” (Eubanks, Murphy, & Mumford, 2010. p. 172) was the most relative in helping offset…

As we all know, the theme of a story is the lesson that is being taught throughout the novel. But a theme can also be the subject of a talk, a piece of writing, or a person's thoughts. All stories have a theme, but they may not always be directly stated. This requires readers to dig deep down into the text and analyze the lessons that they have acquired through the book. Between the two excerpts, "Angelas Ashes" and "The Street", there is common theme that perseverance is important when…

Richard Lavoie defines fairness in the classroom as “Everyone gets what she/he needs”. It does not mean that everyone gets the same and fairness depends on needs. He went on to say that as adults, it is not fair to say things to children that we would not say to another adult. Lavoie gives parents advice about fairness among the children at home. He says that if one of the children has special needs and requires more attention than the other, the parents should not try to make up the time with…

In my philosophy of teaching, the major goals for my classroom are effective classroom management, considering and incorporating diversity, and creating a motivating environment. I am in early childhood education, and one day hope to teach second grade. Approaching classroom management is extremely important to me because I am generally a quiet, non-confrontational person, and this is an area of teaching with which I could potentially have the most trouble if I am not appropriately prepared. My…

Mistaken behavior is errors in judgement and actions made in the process of learning life skills. Many times we confuse mistaken behavior with misbehavior but it’s quite different. According to Sarah Smith misbehavior implies that it was intentionally, while mistaken behavior implies that it was unintentional. It is easy to say a child is misbehaving by his wrongdoing but we don't think about the cause of his actions. Sometimes children make mistakes like we do but, it is important that we take…

The book I chose and read as a self-help book focusing on psychology is “Who Moved My Cheese?” which I wanted to read for long. It is written by M.D. Spencer Johnson. The genre of it is lifestyle. The purpose of the book is to give the readers lessons about how to deal with unexpected changes in our life. It is a short story about two mice, Sniff and Scurry, and two little people, Hem and Haw, who live in a maze. Their food is cheese. One day, their cheese is gone and two mice are well-prepared…
