She took roll quietly and quickly based on a seating chart. She never turned her back on the class but rather she made eye contact with every student and walked around the room handing out an assignment sheet. She announced that this was a take-home assignment but they should begin working on it in class "right now." As she worked her way around the room to check on each student personally, she never turned her back but always continued looking around, scanning the room for problems. The assignment was to write about "Why the Emancipation Proclamation Changed America." Students raised their hands when they had a question, and they got right to work. What were the primary differences between the two teachers? The first teacher did not have control over his classroom. Students can tell if a teacher is confident and assured or not, and it was obvious that the first teacher was not respected. He used poor strategies (he should have had the terms on the board when students came in) and it was obvious the students did not respect his authority. The second teacher had a great rapport with students...
The way in which students got down to business and didn't waste time showed the respect this class had for the teacher. What does their behavior tell you about the quality of their instructional practice? The behavior of the students in the first class indicated poor deportment strategies and a lack of good instructional tactics. The second teacher smoothly, professionally orchestrated a productive classroom, and it was clear that the students in the second classroom enjoyed being there. What teaching techniques do they use to accommodate diversity? There were two African-American students in the first classroom and several Latinos; but there was so much chaos by all students it was not possible to discern any diversity involvement. In the second classroom, again several African-American students were present and they fit into the classroom dynamics as seamlessly as all other students. Visiting just one day probably isn't enough time to get a picture of how diversity is handled by teachers.
Recognizing the Significance Effective Interpersonal Communication I have also learned that many types of interpersonal conflict in the workplace begin as little more than ineffective communications and misinterpretations by one or more individuals. The email communications medium has demonstrated itself to be particularly vulnerable to unintended tones or to unintended interpretations or assumptions. For that reason, I may sometimes review email exchanges. In our organization, the privacy policy is that supervisors
The leadership style through which the organizational management integrates the staff members in the decision making process reveals two main benefits. First of all, it stimulates the motivation of the employees, who feel like important and valued organizational assets. This sense is increased by the managerial desire to pay attention to the opinions of the subalterns. Consequently, higher levels of employee satisfaction materialized in higher levels of employee performances, operational
Personal Reflection on "The Self" "The self" in the social world is how one presents themselves to others, and how they appear to others. This "outward" self plays an essential role in each person's affect, cognition, human motivation and social identity. According to Jung, "the self" is an archetype, and it represents both the conscious and the unconscious mind. However, there are many concepts of the self, from early philosophers to
Personal Reflection What makes a good role model and how would I ensure that I acted as a role model for employees I supervise? A role model is someone who others look up to and provides inspiration. In my opinion the most important quality of a person who can be a good role model is his ability to handle stress positively. People have to deal with stress constantly and a role model
Part 2. A. SLOT In order to reach a better self-evaluation, it is important to bear in mind which are my strengths and my limits, as well as the deriving threats and opportunities. Naturally, the future development can come only through the diminishing of the threats and the increase of the opportunities. As far as my strong points are concerned, I could start with the capacity to see the positive in every
Some students drop out of JROTC after one year or change their schedules within the first few weeks of the school year when they realize that the curriculum is both physically and mentally demanding in many ways. They are often unprepared for that and instead labor under the misguided impression that high school will be very easy for them, and that it should be easy. For the students that stay
