James is a new university professor who is struggling to encourage critical thinking in his class of 23 students. While 7 students are excelling with his Teaching for Understanding Framework approach, the majority lack critical thinking skills and are frustrated by the change from a lecture-based model. Some students dominate discussions while others are disengaged. James must determine how to balance developing critical thinking for all students with meeting the different skill levels and expectations in his class.

Edit Submission: u05a1 Partial Reflective Journal
Unit One Reflection
For this week’s journal entry reflect on your teaching experience. In both the Marzano and Jones textbooks, the authors stress the importance of focusing on classroom policies and procedures at the beginning of the school year in order to achieve a good start. How closely do you attend to the types of procedures discussed by these authors and what might you do differently in terms of planning and instructing in the future as a result of the readings? I work with students who are only assigned to my caseload; therefore I’m not closely involved in school wide/teacher planning. However, at times I participate in Intervention meetings with the Principal, Assistant Principal, teacher(s), School psychologist, School social worker and sometimes the parent. During the meetings, I offer strategies for classroom management behaviors. If a student is a candidate for ADHD or any disability, I arrange for psychological testing to assess whether possible ADHD or emotional factors are interfering with the student’s academic performance, provide feedback to the parents, and school officials regarding the psychological evaluation. I also consult with parents and school officials about designing effective learning programs for intervention strategies that build on his strengths and compensate weaknesses.
Unit Two Reflection
The "Dealing with the Dilemma of Gum Chewing" case study provides an example of how we can teach productive behaviors. After completing this week's reading, reflect on where this type of strategy might apply in your setting.
•Have you encountered situations in your setting where this approach may be more productive than what you have been doing? In the Kindergarten class, the students continue to struggle with picking up cut paper. Instead of having the students cut paper, the teacher showed the class how to fold the paper and use the edge of their desk to cut. After several times of redirecting, the students were able to begin using the scissors again. The students developed a system in the class where 1 person from each table (red, blue, purple, yellow) collects the paper straps.
•What are the ethical issues involved in establishing expectations without teaching the appropriate expected behaviors? Ethical issues continue to be an ongoing issue today in schools and without providing detailed expectations teachers leaves room for issues and concerns. Misinforming, consents, students getting hurt, etc. could happen. Students could always say they were not informed and the responsibility falls back on the teacher. I think in this situation communication is vital.
Unit Three Reflection
During Unit 2, you designed Mini-Intervention 1. For this unit's journal reflection, take time to reflect on how well or how poorly the intervention is working. Reflect on your learning’s so far in the course in the area of managing unproductive behaviors.

White Paper: The Essential Characteristics of a Boy-Friendly Learning Environ...Jack Purdom
An often overlooked issue in today’s schools is the dire state of boys’ education. Research shows that institutions are failing to engage male students, and the outcome couldn’t be any clearer. Across all age, ethnicity, and economic demographics in the US, boys consistently account for the overwhelming majority of disciplinary referrals, failing grades, and ADHD diagnoses. While boys are as capable of learning classroom material as well as girls are, they are often not given the support they need to learn effectively. Fortunately, studies have also pointed us toward the environments that boys learn in best. The following white paper describes some key features of a boy-friendly learning environment.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

4. The Case
This year will be James’s first experience as a university professor. He has worked in the business
world for the last 15 years and has recently decided to prepare the next generation of entrepreneurs.
After a nervous and shaky first week of classes, he has realized something troubling about his class
of 23 students. While they are eager to learn and absorb information, about half of his students lack
mental habits of analysis, creativity, synthesis, co-evaluation, and self-evaluation.
When James has attempted to have class discussions to evaluate and develop students’ thinking
processes, 5 students dominate the conversation while the majority don’t participate. Additionally, he
has 2 students who spend this time surfing the internet on their cell phones. When James has
discussed this behavior, the students ask him to “just relax and be friendly.” Additionally, they express
their feelings that the discussions have little value for their learning.
Recently, James had a small group of his students approach him saying they are worried and
frustrated. They are used to being presented with a wealth of information from the teacher and later
taking a test that proves that they know it. As a result, James’ insistence on employing the Teaching
for Understanding Framework has caused many students to feel frustrated as they struggle to adapt
to this new paradigm.
While many of his students are struggling, 7 of his students are excelling. These 7 students already
possess a high level of critical thinking skills. Additionally, these students have taken courses that are
based on a constructivist philosophy.
5. Questions to Ponder
What responsibility does James have for his
students’ learning and behavior?
Is the silence of the majority something
James should worry about? Why or why not?
Should a teacher adapt his or her teaching
style for students even if that means
adopting an academic, authoritative
pedagogical model?
If James modifies his class, how will this
modification affect the students who are
excelling?
What type of relationship should a teacher
have with his or her students?
