Teaching is not an easy profession neither an easy job to do. The following conditions are some of the cases that we faced as TP students in the school and how it was solved. The first case that we faced was fighting with classmates, two boys were joking with each other, it turned into a fight and the teacher immediately stopped the students and asked them to stand in the corner at the back of the class and then he talked with them after giving an activity to the other students. The second case was bullying, one of the boys was taking other students' pocket money by forcing them to pay so the teacher talked with the administration and then the school contacted his family and looked after the reasons behind that. The third case was crying, …show more content…
When you look to the different reasons and analyze it you can always see that it's related to this main reason. For example, when some students get rejected from their classmate they usually tend to get revenge which lead either to fight or steal and in most scenarios student steal because it's easy on them. Another reason is that student like ownership and that’s mean that the student always try to possess things that other student can't have and when he/she see that other student have it the student tend to steal the item so his/her friend admire his/her belonging. In addition, student can steal for reasons related to their condition. For instance, student can simply steal because his/her life condition is poor and he/she can't provide the necessary tools in order to learn inside the class and that lead eventually to stealing items from other students because its valuable. Now it may sound that these reasons does not affect the learning process but, it really does. This problem can affect the student itself in a way that he/she will never be liked from the other students when they discover that this student is a stealer and no one would like to make a friendship with him/her. Moreover, that lead to a lot of bad consequences because when the student relationship with the other classmates get bad the student begin to hate the classroom
The first thing I will talk about in this book is the positive and negative effects of physical contact with your students. Michie, the main character, was in an incident where he was accused of touching a student inappropriately. Although the truth was revealed that he didn’t do what he was accused of, it shows how physical contact with a student can have a negative impact on a teacher’s career. Even though Michie was merely trying to console a person, children look for attention in any way they can find. This incident nearly cost Michie his job, but at the same time, a big part of teaching is showing the kids you care for them. Michie believes it is hard to care for people if you keep them at arm’s length, and I agree. Physical contact is an
As principal of TWH, I feel it is vital to keep the urgency focused on academics. It is my belief that if we set students up for challenging and engaging classroom instruction, discipline issues will start to lessen. However, my teachers will feel supported and respected, and that will be communicated regularly to our students and school community. “…leaders treat others fairly, equitably, and with dignity and respect—and they establish the expectation that others in the school community act in a similar manner” (Murphy, 2006).
Also, we should keep building on positive relationships between the teachers and children we care for. Some of the ways we can do this is by demonstrating respect for the children. We can show them we care by giving them physical affection, using eye contact, be careful with tone of voice and showing them our smile. We need to be consistent with the children. Finally,

In addition to these standards, rights, and responsibilities, all teachers need to be consciously aware of possible problems dealing with students on an individual basis. In their mission of providing for the safety and welfare of all students, teachers can sometimes find themselves in situations that may be detrimental to themselves and their students. In practice, knowing how to avoid these situations is key. Dr. Troy Hutching’s presentation (Developing an Ethical Framework for Teacher Student Relationships: A Continuum of Responsibility, Nov. 1, 2011 Northern Arizona Univ.) was an eye opener. He provided the following startling facts: Shakeshaft (2004) reported 9.6% of grade 8-11
In this assignment I will explore my role, responsibilities and boundaries as a teacher within the teacher training cycle and will analyse the different ways in which I would establish ground rules with students which may promote good behaviour and respect for other students who are participating within the same learning environment (Gravells, 2010).
There are both general and special education teachers who have reported that they “aren't adequately trained to deal with the aggression, defiance, and sometimes even violence that they witness daily which seems to be increasing in children at younger ages (Ruef, Higgins, Glaeser, & Patnode, 2009). Teachers' lack of time planning, there being a high number of students in the room and only one or two teachers, and lack of administrative support to apply behavior changes in general have all been noted as problems related to
Findings from a recent Ofsted report have shown that low-level disruption in the classroom is causing pupils to potentially lose up to one hour of learning each day, and that this may have a detrimental impact on their life chances (Ofsted, 2014). Difficulties managing behavior is a commonly reported source of stress and burnout among teachers, and is resulting in a substantial number leaving the profession within 5 years (Ford et al, 2012). Disruptive behaviour is not only stressful for teachers, but it can be unsettling for pupils, can hinder pupils enjoyment of school and can prevent pupils from fulfilling their potential (Gorard, 2010). Although there has never been a time when all pupils behaved well, all of the time (Viser, 2005), it is important that teachers have a good understanding of the challenges they may face in the classroom, and are equipped with effective strategies to help them manage classroom behaviour. After all, effective behaviour management and discipline in schools is a crucial to ensuring academic success and a positive and safe learning environment (Luisellia et al, 2005).
As the principal your first step is to determine if there is value to the staff member’s judgement. On occasion there may be a personality conflict between the two teachers and little merit to the complaint. Dealing with the personality conflict, then becomes the priority. Regardless, the duty of the principal is to gather the facts. Initial analysis of the teacher’s practice is done through informal walk-through observations. The principal provides written feedback to the teacher in regard to the principal’s observations relative to the teaching standards. It is imperative for the principal to make themselves available to the teacher if they desire to discuss the informal observation.
Several students such as Hasanti, Tarisai, Janine, and Tydell have had problems with teachers in class humiliating them and making it difficult to function within the classroom. It has been brought up time and time again that teachers are making students feel uncomfortable by disregarding their questions in the classroom; the school constantly tries to defuse the situation by
A teacher must deal with disruptive classroom behavior throughout their career. To do so, they must not only develop their skills in handling these situations but also develop ethical standards for their classroom. These standards set forth by the teacher will help them deal with their students, those students’ parents, the school administrators and their community. There are numerous articles written that could help a teacher when researching any legal or ethical issues that may arise during their teaching career. This paper summarizes four
This kind of incident has happened a lot. For example, The problem of classroom violence done by the teacher. Very sad. the issue became hot news that The teacher was jailed for the violence he was perpetrating. In addition, good teachers in teaching will be affected by this problem. Students become students who speak abusively and behave roughly toward teachers who tend to be good and have an impact on other students in school. It is sad if not in solution.
An ideal middle school has challenging yet doable curriculum, good quality student attendance rate, has a safe environment for the students, and a staff that is committed to helping their students learn and grow. A good teacher has a “presence” in their classroom, making sure his or her students know when it is time to learn and when it is time to have fun. However, no classroom of students is perfect. Incidents do happen and a teacher should be ready for anything and know how to handle multiple types of situations. It is important the teacher understands and follows the school’s policies for different situational incidents and acts promptly in each situation in order to avoid being seen as negligent.
Students may be forced to go forward with a task they aren’t ready for; therefore losing what sense of confidence they had left. 4. They conceal what humanity you might have had left. a. Student may be isolated from any form of life. b. They may want a student to show how cruel they can be.
One of the most essential exercises when in comes to professional development as an instructor is to continuously reflect on your perspective, methodology, instruction and behavior within your profession. Doing so ensure that you a growing and improving on teaching skills and building on old strengths to benefit you as an instructor but especially the students that you serve.
