Jesse: Non-supportive parents can be stimuli in effect to a
child’s learning. Different households can effect
Christine: How we could capitalize this though?
Danny: We can help and support; we can change due to household
environment, void in guidance…
Christine: We can send students to a guidance counselor.
Gabe: Us as teachers can contribute
just as much as a guidance counselor, but I do believe that there are certain
things that are just out of our reach.
Ana: I agree with Gabe in that maybe it is out of our reach. if the parents don't want us to help there is nothing we can do about it. It is our job to make sure the students learn but I feel like the parents might get offended or mad that we are telling them that their parenting skills are wrong and are affecting their child in school...
Jesse: Do you think it’s our place to incorporate the
parents in finding out what is going on with the child? I.e.: Divorce effecting
student’s performance.
Gabe: I do not believe I have any control over this stimulus of how a parent acts with their child because it occurs outside of the classroom. How can we ensure a child’s protection, or what kind of negative information they are being supplied with.
Ana: That may be a good step however it may be a negative
because you never know how parents may react.
Jesse: Age also has an effect on it as well. In grammar
school, as a teacher you may feel as though it’s a duty.
Gabe: Hey are we getting a bit off
of subject? I feel that a stimulus would be for instance, if you raise your
voice in class and the student reacts emotionally to the tone of your
voice. Maybe the Parents at home
verbally abuse their child, and you being the adult in the classroom reflects
the authoritative figure, this can affect the student in a negative manner.
Outside the classroom there is an entirely different atmosphere of influences,
and students tend to carry those influences from outside to inside.
Jesse: Another environmental stimuli are using the restroom
and the rules of it. How it may effect
the learning environment. Then is come
to the fact of whether it should be a question or factor to have leniency to go
to the rest room it barriers. (I.e. pass or sign-out or responsibility left to
the student)
Ana: Age level is a
huge factor, younger kids might not be able to wait a whole class period to use the bathroom, while older students might.
Christine: How about
the students who do not care, are out of control, and aredisrupting the classroom.
What do you?
Ana: You can also add projects..or make them do something
else that interests them. For example, if the student is slacking and doesn't want to work on the project we are giving them, then we might be able to ask them what is it they want to do or what they feel would be an interesting project. That way we can incorporate it into the project and have them be involved.
Christine: We might give incentives: For example giving them
choices.
Danny: Give the students choices, then it become their
responsibility, And make it known they only have two options.
Jesse: I would not push or kick a kid out of my class but
give an opportunity.
Christine: True.
Ana: You can alter their opinions by asking them their
interest and what they find interesting and are willing to work on.
Michael: Well that can arise an issue where they can say
that they are special and then the other students might start acting up in
order to do what they want.
Danny: this is true. They are going to realize that one of
the students are getting special treatment for being bad and they are going to
think it’s not fair.
Christine: How about mixing it up a bit?
Ana: Give them guidelines.
Michael: Different paths but an income where they all come
together and it’s not a big difference from all the other students.
Gabe: Different guidelines work, but
are they necessary to supply each student different criteria’s, sort of
catering to individuals. Maybe working
in different groups with the same one criteria.
here are some of my comment that were not recorded:
ReplyDeleteMike: Yes the way parents act in front of a child can affect their ability in school. They can be to worried about is happening and if its their fault, and the thoughts will make them unfocused in class.
Mike: what happens at home should not be brought up unless the child wants to or if it is affecting their grades and class attendance.
Mike: Yes I think this question is asking what stimuli in the class can impact students learning.
Mike: bathroom privileges are a stimuli that if abused can affect student in negative manner. They will use this as a way to cope with difficult problems and classwork as a way to escape. But we as teachers have the ability to control these manors, buy simply if a child want to step out to use the washroom you should check their productivity before they leave. You as a teacher can capitalize in this by having them explain to you what they are doing and how they are coming to this answer, so you can know if the student understand the problem and are not just using this privilege as an excuse to escape. But if you see that they are you know that when they come back they need the help and you give it to them.
