2. Not understanding her students
Bad Classroom Management
John’s case of cheating - Offensive way of handling
the issue. Pygmalion Effect – Assumed John was
cheating.
John seems to be a long term problem if she has to
call his mother. Why hasn’t she ameliorate this
problem sooner?
When a student gives feedback she shot the student
down – shows a lack of understanding the student as
wanting to learn.
Cares more about finishing her lesson than caring
about her students.
3. Ineffective Managing of Work

6. She does not know/understand her class.

7. She does not know/understand her role in class

student
Acts unfairly
8. She is not capable of managing her

survive
9. Statements of Learning Issues
To find ways to understand the class
better
Find ways to teach for understanding
To define the role a teacher should take
To find ways to manage the class better

10. Pointers for learning and sharing
I think we need to find a holistic approach to solving
the problem. It seems as though the issue here stems
from a very deep-set problem. The problem is deeper
than just not knowing the right disciplining
technique. She does not seem motivated to change
herself.
