This document outlines a multi-faceted theory of classroom management based on 4 key concepts: identifying mistaken goals of misbehavior, being democratic rather than autocratic teachers, using logical consequences rather than punishment, and understanding the difference between praise and encouragement. The theory promotes respect and communication between teachers and students, encourages students to take responsibility for their actions, and complements good teaching practices. However, it may be difficult to identify reasons for misbehavior and provide proper logical consequences in all cases.
Get Your Students Motivated: Tips for the Classroom
The document provides tips from several professors on how to motivate students in the classroom. Some of the key tips include:
1) Meeting individually with students who score below 70% on exams to discuss study habits and tutoring resources.
2) Creating a comfortable learning environment through humor, examples, icebreakers, and group work.
3) Making course content relevant by relating it to current events and using social media.
4) Recognizing students as individuals and making instruction engaging and organized.

Inspiring self directed learning
1. The document discusses tools for inspiring self-directed learning, using a garden allegory as a framework. It outlines clearing weeds like compulsory education and devices, providing sunshine and water through stories, and ensuring good soil conditions with nutrients like music, art, and service.
2. Freedom in education is advocated, allowing children to learn through play, stories, and warm relationships until they show readiness for more formal instruction, guided by their interests and passions. Notebooking is suggested instead of worksheets.
3. The approach emphasizes enriched story times, self-directed learning, and mentorship to help students discover their purpose.
2. teaching approach
This document outlines a teaching approach that emphasizes critical thinking skills for 3rd grade students. It aims to help students understand social phenomena and consider various viewpoints by analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information. Visuals are incorporated because images help students organize and retain information. The goals are for students to improve comprehension and critical thinking when reading, writing, and using new vocabulary and grammar structures. Activities include presentations, worksheets, and exercises to develop these skills through discussion and individual responses. The overall approach aims to motivate independent, lifelong learning.

Creating a Positive Learning Environment
The document provides tips for effective classroom discussion and student engagement. It recommends that instructors encourage all students to participate, maintain control of discussions but allow different viewpoints, address students by name, give feedback to students, and respond clearly to questions without sarcasm or humor. It also suggests setting expectations for respect and avoiding issues that divide students.
Statement of Teaching Philosophy
Joe Morgan's teaching philosophy focuses on engaging students through class interaction, exploration of multiple means, and experimentation. He engages students by moving around the classroom, telling relevant stories, and getting students to participate in discussions. For exploration, he demonstrates concepts in three ways and lets students try them. Finally, he provides time for students to experiment on their own or in groups to discover and learn from mistakes. His goal is for students to feel confident using library research tools.

Independent learning
This document provides information about independent learning including:
1) It defines independent learning as "taking charge of one's own learning" through making choices about learning activities, taking responsibility, and reflecting on effectiveness.
2) Independent learning does not mean working alone, but can involve collaborating with others. Explaining concepts to others helps improve understanding.
3) Independent learning skills are valuable for employers and help students feel more in control of their education by setting goals, organizing, and evaluating progress.
How to be a good learner
The document discusses characteristics of good learners and teaching different student levels. Good learners are motivated, take responsibility for their learning, and are willing to listen, experiment, ask questions, think about learning, and accept correction. Teaching adults requires connecting lessons to their life experiences and explaining the purpose. When teaching different levels, activities should be tailored to abilities, with simpler language and techniques used for beginners.

Learning Theory
This document provides a brief overview of several learning theories: active learning, problem based learning, inquiry based learning, service learning, and conversation theory. It discusses key aspects of each theory, such as active learning involving student responsibility, problem based learning involving collaborative problem solving, and inquiry based learning being student-driven. It also notes how conversation theory explains how interactions lead to the construction of knowledge.
Free, Online Scale of Student Autonomy
This Scale is a free online self-assessment questionnaire to evaluate a student’s sense of educational autonomy -- intellectual independence and self-directedness. With more than 650 responses, grades 7-12, we developed statistical norms and percentiles, as well as three statistically correlated sub-categories. This workshop examines the paradigm of student autonomy, reviews the research and examines practices to encourage student autonomy. We all know the magic when our students become empowered, independent learners. Here is a tool with which to assess autonomy.

Students benefit from instruction that reflects the principles of adult learning, as identified by Malcolm Knowles (1968). Participants developed an understanding of the principles by joining in an active, student-centered learning experience that models the tenets of adult learning theory. This included understanding the role of self-efficacy and its influence on student learning, which must be addressed in designing instruction for adults. By examining common behaviors exhibited by students and connecting those behaviors to self-efficacy and faculty teaching approaches, participants gained insight into the adult learner.
Through personal reflection, group collaboration, paired peer review and class discussion, faculty identified common characteristics of the adult learner and began to develop strategies to address their instructional needs. The result is an increased understanding of andragogy as a distinct method that can inform instruction in the higher education classroom.
Classroom engagement
This document discusses the importance of active learning and overcoming obstacles to its implementation. It provides quotes emphasizing that learning is not passive and students learn best when they are actively engaged. Some common obstacles to active learning include not being able to cover as much content, it taking too much preparation time, large class sizes, and students resisting non-lecture approaches. However, these obstacles can be overcome by finding other ways for students to learn content outside of class, using small group activities even in large classes, and helping students adjust to active learning being the new norm. The document encourages creating a storyboard to plan active learning lessons with clear objectives and content. It concludes by stating some active learning ideas can be implemented.
Fostering Independent Learning
Many colleges aim to develop students into lifelong learners. This presentation focuses on techniques which foster learning independence. Objectives covered include: learning objectives conducive to independent learning, verbal and non-verbal strategies for building rapport (using rapport to raise student expectations), communication strategies for raising learning independence, building learning confidence, and tutoring strategies for developing learning independence.
This presentation also covers assessments for tracking progression towards learning independence. Rubrics provided include specific behaviors that correlate to varying levels of learning independence, including behaviors that indicate high levels of learning independence – signs a student is prepared to become a lifelong learner.
Principles of Learning
The document discusses several theories of learning including behaviorism, cognitivism, social learning theory, social constructivism, multiple intelligences theory, and brain-based learning. It provides an overview of key aspects of each theory such as major contributors, core concepts, and implications for teaching practices. Learning is described as a complex process influenced by both internal cognitive and external social factors.
Prototype
The document proposes ideas to improve students' knowledge of career opportunities by having open discussions of various jobs from an early age. It suggests developing a worldwide jobs app with career videos and lectures from professionals. Another idea is to have older students teach younger students to encourage sharing knowledge and a less authoritative learning environment. The app and student teaching approaches aim to expose students to diverse career paths and keep them engaged through different learning styles.

Student motivation powerpoint 3
Studies show that using technology in instruction increases student motivation. Students find computer-based lessons more engaging and less boring than traditional lessons. One study found that 97% of students using web-based instruction showed higher motivation and interest levels, with one teacher noting students had to be forced to leave at the end of class. Additionally, greater technology use is linked to higher test scores and improved grades and motivation.
Principles of Learning
1. Learning is an internal process activated by the learner based on their interests and needs. People learn best when concepts are personally relevant and through direct experiences.
2. Learning is most effective when it is collaborative, as cooperation fosters new understanding and perspectives. Learning together enables students to realize their own contributions and what they can learn from others.
3. Learning is an evolutionary process that takes time and may involve discomfort as old ways of thinking are discarded in favor of new behaviors and ideas. However, this difficulty is usually followed by appreciation of new understanding.
Unit 6 D1 Lesson 1
This document outlines steps for a personal progress review, including identifying individuals who will benefit from the learner's coursework, such as family, classmates, colleagues, and service users. It prompts evaluating how these people will benefit now from shared information and in the future from applied skills. The review also addresses considering potential positive and negative impacts learning could have on others.
Learning theories
The document discusses three major learning theories that provide a framework for instructional design: behavioral, cognitive, and social learning theory. Behavioral learning theory examines connectionism, classical conditioning, and operant conditioning. Cognitive learning theory looks at gestalt theory, information processing theory, and schema theory. Social learning theory focuses on how people learn from their environment through observation and modeling. Instructional design applications informed by these learning theories include task analysis, objectives, feedback, rehearsal strategies, and considering the impact of social models.
Three major theoretical schools of learning
There are three major theoretical schools of learning: behaviorism, cognitive psychology, and humanistic psychology. Behaviorism emphasizes conditioning behavior through reinforcement and punishment. Cognitive psychology focuses on how people process information and structure knowledge. Humanistic psychology stresses meeting students' basic needs and allowing free learning. Together these theories recognize the importance of environmental stimuli and reinforcement in the learning process, while acknowledging individual differences that can be addressed through customized stimulus. Elements of all three theories have influenced the American education system with varying levels of success.
Learning
The document discusses learning and different theories of learning, including classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and social learning. It defines learning as a relatively permanent change in behavior resulting from experience. Social learning emphasizes learning through observation and experience, including attention, retention, reproduction of observed behaviors, and reinforcement processes. Methods of shaping behavior include positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment, and extinction. Schedules of reinforcement like continuous and intermittent reinforcement can influence learned behaviors. Organizational applications include using lotteries to reduce absenteeism and implementing wellness pay programs. Training programs should utilize social learning principles and self-management allows individuals to control their own behaviors.

Wasan Abu Baker My Philosphy In Education
This document is a philosophy paper written by Wasan F. Abu-Baker for a history and philosophy of education course. The paper discusses Abu-Baker's beliefs about education based on critical theory. It argues that education should promote freedom, intellectual growth, and critical thinking. The purpose of schools according to critical theory is to provide historical perspective, human liberation, and raise consciousness. Teachers should listen to students and encourage free thinking and expression. An essentialist approach that focuses only on basic skills ignores developing students' social skills and ability to think critically.
Child psychology
Educational psychologists help understand individual learning styles to inform instruction. Teachers should recognize different learning styles like visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and provide appropriate reinforcement for each student. Teachers also need to address common psychological issues students may face like divorce, abuse, bullying, depression, anxiety, and lack of social skills, by providing a supportive environment, recognizing symptoms, seeking help, and teaching coping strategies. A positive learning environment can help students dealing with traumatic issues by giving them emotional support and tools for academic success.

Conducting the Discussion: Common Problems 49
to answer a question immediately. Even the shy person will respond when asked, “What did you write? “Rewarding infrequent contributors at least with a smile helps encourage participation even if the contribution has to be developed or corrected. Calling students by name seems to foster freer communication. Seating is important too. Rooms with seats in a circle help tremendously. Getting to know the nonparticipant is also helpful. For example, I have found that it is helpful to ask students to write a brief life history indicating their interests and experiences relevant to the course. These self-summaries help me to gain a better knowledge of each student as an individual, to know what problems or illustrations will be of particular interest to several students, and to know on whom I can call for special information. One of the best ways of getting nonparticipants into the discussion is to ask them to contribute to a problem area in which they have special knowledge. The technique of asking for a student’s special knowledge deals directly with one of the major barriers to class discussion—fear of being wrong. No one likes to look foolish, especially in a situation where mistakes may be pounced upon by a teacher or other students. Student’s par-titularly avoid—or dread—questions that put them on the spot and only have one right answer, such as: “This is an example of what?” which is expecting the student to fill in the one correct word. There is an infinity of wrong answers, and obviously the teacher knows the one right answer; so why should the student risk making a mistake when the odds are so much against the student? And even if the answer is obvious, why look like a pawn of the teacher? One way of putting the student in a more favorable position is to ask general questions that have no wrong answers. For example, you can ask, “How do you feel about this?” or “How does this look to you?” as a first step in analysis of a problem. Students’ feelings or perceptions may not be the same as yours, but as reporters of their own feelings, they cannot be challenged as being inaccurate. While such an approach by no means eliminates anxiety about participation (for an answer involves revealing oneself as a person), it will more often open discussion that involves the student, than will questions of fact. Another technique for reducing the risk of participation for students is to ask a question one class period before the discussion and ask students to write out answers involving an example from their own experience. Similarly, one can ask students to bring one question to class for discussion. This helps participation, helps students learn to formulate questions, and provides feedback for you. Finally, remember that out-of-class learning is often more important than that in class. E-mail, computer conferencing, and other interactive technologies can support active learning, discussion, and debate.

D. Effective teachers create a classroom environment that encourages and supports productive behaviors and ways of thinking.
E. Effective teachers adapt instruction to the particular social and cultural contexts in which students live.
How do learners modify their own environment?
What is meant by the term niche-picking?
In the preceding sections we’ve seen various ways in which people’s environments—especially their social and cultural ones—affect their learning and behavior. But the reverse is true as well: deliberately, as the next two principles reveal.
niche-picking Tendency for a learner to seek out environmental conditions that are a good match with his or her existing characteristics and behaviors.
What can a teacher do to provide supportive contexts for learning?
If a teacher is using modeling to change a behavior or teach a new behavior, what needs to be remembered?
Why is a variety of role models needed?
Explain how to shape complex behaviors. There are several steps. Include each.
How does a teacher provide physical and cognitive tools that can help students work and think more effectively?
Why would a teacher want to encourage student dialogue and collaboration?
Why would a teacher want to create a community of learners?
What are the advantages of doing so?
How does a teacher create a community of learners?

What are stereotypes of Americans?
1. Create conditions that elicit desired responses.
2. Make sure productive behaviors are reinforced and unproductive behaviors are not reinforced.
3. Make response–reinforcement contingencies clear.
4. As an alternative to punishment, reinforce productive behaviors that are incompatible with unproductive ones.
1) Attention. Attention is critical for getting information into working memory. To learn effectively, then, students must pay attention to the model and especially to critical aspects of the modeled behavior.
2) Retention. e learner must remember what the model does—in particular, by storing it in long-term memory. Students are more likely to remember information if they encode it in more than one way, perhaps as both a visual image and a verbal message for instance, teachers might describe what th ...
Research Report - Classroom Management - Working with Challenging Students
This document discusses strategies for managing challenging students in the classroom. It begins by outlining why classroom management is important for student learning. It then describes different types of challenging students and various classroom management models. The document provides many specific strategies recommended by experts for building relationships with challenging students, engaging them academically, and enforcing discipline. It concludes by discussing how the author can apply these strategies and recommendations, given their personal teaching style and areas for growth. The author also notes areas they would like more practical information on from experienced teachers implementing these classroom management strategies.
UNIT 3 8611.pptx
The document discusses strategies for promoting critical thinking through cooperative teaching and learning. It advocates for using discussion, debate, and question-answer forums to actively engage students in higher-order thinking. Various debate styles are outlined, including four corners, role play, fishbowl, and think-pair-share debates. The role of the teacher shifts from instructor to facilitator of group work and discussions. Questions should move beyond basic recall to more open-ended, divergent questions that encourage analysis and creative responses. Formative assessment techniques provide feedback to improve the learning process.
Psychology & philosophy of education
The document discusses the evolution of how psychology has been defined. It started as the study of the soul, but that was rejected because the soul cannot be studied. It was then defined as the study of the mind, but that definition was confusing. It was also defined as the study of consciousness, but that did not account for unconscious behaviors. Psychology is now defined as the scientific study of observable behavior, which includes all conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mental activities and processes of organisms.
Differentiating lesson plans
This document discusses the concept of differentiation and its importance in education. Some key points:
- Differentiation is a philosophy that recognizes students differ in their readiness, interests, styles of learning, experiences and circumstances. These differences significantly impact what and how students learn.
- Students learn best when supportive adults challenge them at an appropriate level, when learning connects to their interests and experiences, and when classrooms foster a sense of community.
- Differentiation is wary of standardization and acknowledges students are not standard or uniform. It aims to refine high-quality teaching practices to maximize individual growth for each student.
- Challenges to differentiation include standardized testing, pressures to cover large amounts of content quickly, and
Using Focus Groups In Qualitative Research
The focus group interviews were conducted on the campus of the University of California, Irvine to understand students' coping mechanisms for loneliness and stress using technology. Four students and a moderator participated in each interview, seated in a circle in an empty classroom to encourage open dialogue. The interviews lasted up to 30 minutes and were recorded, then transcribed verbatim for analysis.
Minding your millenials
The document discusses strategies for teaching and assessing critical thinking skills in millennial students. It provides background on Generation X and millennial learners, explaining that millennials are independent problem solvers who want meaningful, stimulating work and quick access to information. The document then outlines several key teaching strategies and self-assessment activities that focus on experiential learning, giving students control and connecting classroom learning to real-world applications. Finally, it presents three methods for assessing critical thinking: a pro/con grid, content/form/function outlining, and analytic memos.

Teaching sensitive topics in the classroom
- 1. Teaching sensitive topics in the classroom
- 2. Students’ behavior and engagement depend greatly on the atmosphere that is created in the classroom. For teachers, practicing good classroom management is essential to achieving this.
- 3. It’s more difficult and challenging when the debate topics for students are sensitive (e.g. religion, politics, and mental health). These topics can evoke thoughts and feelings at a very personal level which can result in the expression of extreme opinions that other members of the group may find abhorrent.
- 4. Matt C. Pinsker, an adjunct professor describes his approach to this issue: The way I prepare my students is by reminding them that they are adults, so if they feel uncomfortable, buck up. The notion that students, especially in college, need to be babied and protected with trigger warnings and safe spaces is absolutely ridiculous, and I refuse to participate in the infantilization of higher-ed…Many have even expressed the notion that if you keeping treating people as weak and needing protecting, they themselves will eventually start to believe it.”
- 5. Three paradigms that will allow teachers to control these topic discussions in the classroom. Liberation Pedagogy. The aim is to develop a “critical consciousness” among students. They are encouraged to bring their own experiences and perspectives to the problems investigated in class. Civic Humanism. Students need to have a sense of social responsibility and teaching should help them be prepared for the responsibilities of active citizenship. Academic Detachment. The aim is to make sensitive topics list into objects of academic investigation and analysis rather than just having random and subjective discussions about them.
- 6. After deciding which approach is more convenient for your class, you should employ some specific strategies to give your students the best chance for success.
- 7. 1. Make clear rules. Tell your students what will not be permitted during discussions and warn them about consequences if they ignore the rules.
- 8. 2. Don’t go above and beyond the material. You do not want your class to devolve into a debate about current events. Try to use real-world problems to make them more interested in the ideas raised in the lectures and readings.
- 9. 3. Avoid ugly arguments. When the discussion is turning into an argument, you can prevent it by making the opinion-sharing anonymous. Create open-ended questions with Swift Polling and let them share their feedback about the topic in the classroom anonymously.
