"Bully Proof" powerpoint from the author of "The Hero in Me"annieglass
This powerpoint presentation provides information on bullying and how to feel bully-proof. It defines bullying as repeated abusive behavior that creates an imbalance of power between the bully and target. The presentation distinguishes bullying from normal conflicts and describes the characteristics of bullies and targets. It discusses the role of bystanders and provides strategies for targets to build self-esteem, develop social skills, utilize adults for help, and feel empowered against bullying. The final slides address cyberbullying prevention.
Rudolf Dreikurs was a founder of child guidance centers who developed a theory of misbehavior based on Alfred Adler's ideas. He believed all behavior stems from a need to belong and gain social acceptance. When students are unsuccessful, misbehavior arises from one of four goals: attention-getting, power/control, revenge, or helplessness. Dreikurs advocated addressing the underlying goal, using encouragement over punishment, and adopting a democratic teaching style.
Students who are being bullied may exhibit certain warning signs such as damaged belongings, unexplained injuries, having few friends, not wanting to go to school, being sad or moody, and complaining of physical problems. Students who bully others tend to have a positive view of violence, want to dominate others, lack empathy, and may engage in risky behaviors. Teachers can address bullying by setting clear rules, rewarding good behavior, listening to reports of bullying, notifying parents of incidents, and holding class meetings. Administrators should assess bullying levels, train staff, enforce rules, increase supervision, and consistently intervene in bullying situations.

Parent Interview Questions and Answers For Private School AdmissionDevin Bisanz
Choosing a private school for your child is a significant decision that requires careful consideration. Private schools can offer a wide range of benefits, such as smaller class sizes, specialized programs, and a strong sense of community, but it is important for parents to research and evaluate the options available to them. One effective way to do this is through the use of parent-school interviews.
During a parent-school interview, parents have the opportunity to ask the school's representatives questions and gather information about the school's educational philosophy, curriculum, extracurricular activities, faculty qualifications, and more. By preparing and practicing interview questions beforehand, parents can ensure that they are well-informed and able to make an informed decision about the best school for their child.
One of the most important things to consider when researching private schools is the student-teacher ratio. Smaller class sizes can lead to a more personalized and individualized education, and can allow for more one-on-one attention from teachers. This can be especially beneficial for students who need extra support or who are struggling in a particular subject. Additionally, smaller class sizes can also lead to a more engaging and interactive learning environment.
Another key aspect to consider is the school's philosophy on education. Different schools may have different approaches to teaching and learning, and it is important for parents to understand how these philosophies align with their own values and goals for their child's education. For example, some schools may place a strong emphasis on STEM education, while others may focus more on the arts or humanities.
Extracurricular activities are also an important consideration for many parents. These activities can offer students a chance to explore new interests, develop new skills, and make friends outside of the classroom. Additionally, research has shown that students who participate in extracurricular activities tend to have higher academic achievement, better attendance rates, and lower dropout rates.
Another important aspect to consider is the school's approach to discipline and behavior management. It is important for parents to understand how the school handles discipline, and what the expectations are for student behavior. Additionally, it is also important to understand what kind of support the school provides for students who may be struggling with behavior or discipline issues.
For parents of children with special needs, it is important to research and understand the school's special needs support services. This can include accommodations for students with disabilities, as well as specialized programs and resources to help students who may be struggling with specific issues. It is also important to ask about the qualifications and experience of the staff who work with special needs students.

Visible Thinking is a framework that aims to enrich classroom learning, foster students' intellectual development, and shift the classroom culture towards enthusiastic thinkers and learners. It involves using thinking routines, emphasizing four thinking ideals, and making students' thinking visible through explanations, ideas, debates, and interpretations displayed in the classroom. When thinking is visible, students are more metacognitive, engaged in exploring ideas rather than just memorizing content, and teachers can better understand students' thinking to address challenges and extend learning.

Unit 01 Philosophy Of Teaching And Learning (Word 2003) 1 7 10rlrussll
A philosophy of teaching and learning should encompass beliefs about teaching, learning, students, knowledge, and what is worth knowing. Teachers with a well-developed philosophy can better understand their role and how students learn. However, relying too rigidly on one philosophy risks limiting a teacher's effectiveness with different students. When developing a teaching philosophy, it is important for teachers to reflect on questions in various domains including metaphysics, epistemology, axiology, and logic.

EDUC 6358-Strategies for Working with Diverse Children
September 6th, 2022
Week 1/Post 1: Formulating Goals
1.
The two professional goals you developed related to anti-bias education and your work in an early childhood setting.
· Goal 1: Developing relationships to form inclusive communities in the classroom
· Goa1 2: Develop an awareness of how unconscious bias can impact the classroom.
2.
The ways in which the readings and media segment from this week have influenced the formulation of your goals. Be sure to support your comments with specific references to and/or examples from the Required Resources.
According to Walden University (2011) “The world today is a world in which children are going to grow up side-by-side with people who are very, very different from them. The notion of growing up in a community of people very much like you is gone” (pg. 1). I also came across a website “
Teaching Tolerance,” where it discussed critical practices for anti-bias education and teacher leadership. This article was about the importance of valuing and embracing multiple perspectives to reach the best and most comprehensive approach to leadership. The author suggests teacher leaders reflect on what they still don’t know and need to learn about something to seek out professional development for growth in those areas; the author really promotes the idea of having self-awareness to diminish bias and become culturally aware in teacher leader practices (Learning for Justice, 2022). Both the “Walden and Teaching Tolerance” sources are about the road and progression to becoming an anti-bias educator.

The ways in which the implementation of these goals will help you to work more effectively with young children and families.
I aspire to be an anti-biased channel in which students will experience culture in a vast and more comprehensive way. Children’s experiences in education should teach the four goals of anti-bias education (i.e., identity, diversity, justice, and activism) and promote the ultimate goal of equality and social equity for all (NAEYC, n.d.). I am, the compilation of everything experienced in my life. With this, we are constantly growing, changing, adapting new view and discarding others. Each experience builds on the last to continue to reinforce the structure you are each day. As future educators, it is our job to be the future of knowledge. What we say, do, actions we take directly reflect what our students see. Choose your curriculum wisely, but choose your words even more carefully. Take the wealth of knowledge you and only your life has accumulated and share it with each class you have the chance to influence. Be the spark of change and the advocate to every child that walks through your door.

Challenges you might encounter on your journey to become an early childhood professional who understands and practices anti-bias education.

This document outlines Matthew Martinez's teaching philosophy. His philosophy centers around four principles: 1) building community in and out of the classroom, 2) encouraging creativity in student presentations and thinking, 3) mentoring students through their academic work and career goals, and 4) ensuring student success through critical thinking assignments and helping them align career goals with social justice. He emphasizes making sociological concepts relatable by sharing personal experiences with students and involving them in the local community through activities like school mentoring.

2. Important Points re sharing Open in prayer Give each person chance to share their opinion respectfully. Share how book impacted you as opposed to whether you hated or loved the book.
3. Question 1: Culture Clayten Christenson shares from an American experience how the digital world is impacting our culture in schools, and in other business innovations. Is he celebrating public schools and/or homeschooling? How is he trying to change the culture? Do you think that as a Canadian collective group of homeschooling teachers we can share in the same ideals, or are they different according to the educational culture and climate?
4. Question 2: Themes! Christensen shares how motivation in schools is often intrinsically linked or extrinsically linked? Extrinsically ties into getting students to do something based on an external motivator like society’s needs, as opposed to the students’ own needs? In our homeschooling environment do you think our students have more extrinsic or intrinsic motivation? Why? How can we influence our students to be more intrinsically motivated?
5. Students learn in Different ways? Should we be standardizing testing, or looking for different ways of evaluating students’ success? Does the homeschool environment lend itself to student centric testing? Are homeschool teachers like brick and mortar teachers, in that they teach according to their type of intelligence? Do you know what kind of intelligence you teach from? What about your parents, how do we influence them?
6. How to keep students motivatedand engaged? How does Clayten suggest technology needs to work for us? Consumption vs non consumption? Online courses? Individualised? Is this happening in our school? Are you happy teaching from a mono-lithic approach (one style fits all?) How do you deal with students who do not learn according to this approach?
7. How can our school compete against non-consumption? Where are most of our students coming from? What type of learning are they looking for? The majority… Do we need exams?
8. How to create student centric learning? What criteria do we need to add to make the homeschool learning environment engaging and interactive? How do we move from monolithic to student centric? Is this already happening in our school? What do the stats say about students who teach themselves? Where does a student feel elements of success in his school day? How can we add to this?
9. Solutions to the Problems? What types of solutions does Christensen explore in the book? Are they easy to implement? Do we have charismatic visionary role models? Do they help us? Why or why not?
10. Organizational Psychology How come solutions in one company are harder to introduce in another? How is HCOS structurally organized to create teaching heavyweights or disruptive innovators? Do we work collaboratively or are we in our own little world?
11. Does Christensen back up his research? Does he give definitive facts? Is his theme the right theme? What does he base his research on? Is his tone passionate and inflammatory? Objective and earnest? Do you think he offers solutions to the problems being raised in the book? Does he affirm you as a teacher?
12. How has this book changed you? Has it broadened your outlook on a subject? Has it given you Godly insight? Could you relate to any part of the book on a personal basis? Do you have a new type of thinking related to this particular climate of learning? Or were you already doing what he suggested?
13. Thank you! Thank you for sharing in our first adult book club session. I really appreciate all of your input! I look forward to doing one again next year if this was a success?
