Do you think there would be benefits that are grade/age specific? Explain.

/in /by

While academic gains have been seen in the subject areas of math and the sciences for female students, has this come as the cost of higher academic attainment for male students? Some argue that the gains experienced are due to co-educational settings, while others feel segregated classrooms are necessary to ensure educational equity to both genders.

The authors of your textbook pose the question, “Should schools or classrooms separate students by gender or sexual identities?” (Nelson, Palonshy, & McCarthy, 2013, p. 135). Is this a step in the right direction to remedy gender inequity or will the result be discriminatory practices?
Although the positions in this chapter allude to the effects that race, class, and ethnicity might have on an individual’s creation of his or her gender identity, they do not discuss those effects in any detail. Consider how the other facets of a person’s identity or situation in life might affect the choices they make about how much or how little to conform to various forms of masculinity or femininity. That is, does a person’s race, class, or gender affect how free people feel they are to deviate from gender stereotypes? Depending on your answers, what kinds of changes to the proposals in this chapter do you think are necessary to create gender equity in schools that takes race, class and ethnicity into consideration? (p. 149)
In your reflection, include your thoughts on:

Should schools or classrooms be separated by gender or sexual identities? Why or why not?
Do you think there would be benefits that are grade/age specific? Explain.
Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.

  1. Assignment: Classroom Management Plan 60% (2000 words)

Your assignment has 2 sections. Address all sections under the given headings.

1.1 Philosophy                                                                                (≈1000 words)

In developing your assignment, you will need to clearly articulate your philosophy about effective classroom management.  This philosophy describes the beliefs that lie at the foundation of your thinking.  Your core assumptions about classroom management will need to be stated.

The philosophy should be an expression of your beliefs; therefore, the style and presentation is necessarily individual.  Your philosophy will need to be broad enough to cover the range of topics listed below.

You must address all the following points under the headings given, stating what you believe for each. It is essential that you support your philosophical beliefs with research, cited references and/or specific personal experience examples.

Philosophy points to address and headings:

  1. Introduction
    1. The nature/needs of young people
    2. The role of the teacher.
  1. Behaviour Management
    1. The reasons for disruptive behaviour – why students behave the way they do
    1. The complexity and range of student behaviour
    2. The outcome, intention or purpose of discipline
    3. The level of teacher control and/or coercion and a students’ ability to manage their own behavior
  1. Instructional Management
    1. How you view student learning
    2. The conditions necessary for learning to occur
    3. What instructional strategies best respond to your view of young people and how they learn

1.2 Theory                                                                                                                                        (≈1000 words)

Your theory section analyses two or three classroom management theories that align with and enhance and inform your beliefs about classroom management. You will need to reference 2 – 3 classroom management theorists in this theory section and each theorist must be consistent with each other and with your beliefs.  The theorists selected or the elements of theorists need to support your philosophy and core assumptions. You must explore the key elements of each theory showing clear links to your own beliefs and to each other.

 

 

 

Describe how students could utilize one of the intervention strategies at home.

/in /by

Upon identifying an appropriate intervention tier and aligning intervention strategies, teachers can begin the implementation process. Implementing identified intervention strategies during instruction will help to not only meet the needs of students but help teachers to identify where to monitor and adjust instruction as needed. Implementation and evaluation of intervention is an ongoing process when working with all students.
Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience.
Working with your mentor teacher, identify a math lesson or time during which interventions from the Clinical Field Experience C intervention plan can be implemented to benefit the previously identified students.
After implementing the intervention strategies, seek feedback from your mentor teacher about how it went. Continue discussion regarding the strengths and potential improvements of the students.
Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
After the math lesson or activity, summarize and reflect upon your experiences in 250-500 words, being sure to:
Briefly describe the students identified needs and explain how interventions were selected. Rationalize choices in relation to the needs of the students.
Describe how the students performed on the math activities and reflect upon your experience implementing the intervention strategies. Include possible changes you would make in the future when implementing these strategies.
Describe how students could utilize one of the intervention strategies at home.
Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
