Evaluating Case Study: Altercation In The Classroom
There are many issues in this case study that need addressed. First of all, I would address the situation occurred between the student and the special area teacher. Next, I would address the parent complaint after an investigation of the event. Lastly, I would discuss and refresh all staff on policies and procedures in place at the school to prevent future incidents.
At the time the situation occurred, I would send the regular classroom teacher back to their classroom explaining that they should come back up to the office once they had a free period or at the end of the day. I would also send the special area teacher back to their classroom for the time being. I would take this opportunity to discuss the events of the altercation with the student. I would listen to the student’s side of the story. After hearing the student’s side, I would explain to the student that leaving the building during school hours is against school policy. I would explain that they proper way to handle that situation would have been to ask to go to the office to discuss the issue or cool down. There they could release steam from the situation and avoid the altercation with the teacher. I would then inform them that the situation will be investigated and disciplinary action is pending since they left the school building and talked to the teacher in an inappropriate manner. …show more content…
I would conference with the bullied student and hear their story. I would reaffirm their testimony from kids in the classroom at the time. I would attempt to determine the truth of the situation and distribute punishments accordingly. I would then call the parent and explain the investigation and the results of the investigation. I will vaguely tell them that the situation was handled for both the student who bullied and the teacher involved. I would explain that all bullying instances are taken seriously and eliminated immediately as they are

    Resaponses Unit 4

    As a teaching assistant I am part of the wider team of teaching staff in a school. Everyone has different roles and responsibilities and this can sometimes lead to conflicts. On one occasion I was working with an EMA class doing role plays in a hall. It was the last lesson of the day and we were using the interactive white board. The after school film club was due to use the room straight after us and the coordinator was very annoyed that she was unable to come in and set up ahead of her class. She insisted that the EMA class use another space. While I could understand her frustration at being delayed I could also see the benefits to the EMA class of using the hall. It provided the children with opportunities to do exercises that couldn’t be done in standard classroom. I could also tell that they really enjoyed working in the space. The discussion between the teachers became slightly heated and I could see that there was tension. In order to resolve the conflict I suggested we carry out the activities that require the white board early so that the coordinator could come in towards the end of our lesson and set up the film. This solution was accepted by all. I felt I dealt with the situation constructively.…

    Field Experience in Elem. School

    I have conducted my field of experience at Westside Elementary School, second and third grade classroom. The third grade class consists of 20 students. The teacher does not have any aide even though she needs some assistance, because two of her students are falling behind. The sad part about this is that the students have not being diagnosed yet, but they are having a lot of difficulties. The teacher mentioned that by fourth or fifth grade those two students will need to be placed in a special education classroom. The students both have a concentration problem and it causes them to struggle with reading, writing, math, listening, and speaking. The teacher asked me to focus on and help these two students, while observing the rest of the class. On my second day, I went to Mrs. Bellamy’s Classroom; a second grade teacher. In this paper I am detonating the two different teaching styles that I observed, and the way the student are responding.…

    School Violence: An Exploratory Case Study

    What is school violence? Many describe school violence as any form of violence projected on an individual within school premises. Within the decade’s school violence has become more and more common in our society and has even lead to mass shootings. Most shooters are seen as outcasts by their peers and feel excluded. In our course textbook, Understanding Violence and Victimization cites that violence has increased dramatically within the past decade (Meadows, 2013). Meadows then discusses some risk factors of school violence such as factors referred to as character risk, undeveloped mental abilities, presence of early aggressive behaviors, family relationship and influences, exposure to violence and victimization, role of media and its impact on violence, general influence of our culture, are risk factor in schools (Meadows, 2013).

    As a teacher I have the responsibility to teach my students while maintaining a safe learning environment, this includes both physical and mental safety. The best way to do this is by clearly posting and discussing the rules and rights for students in the classroom, and the consequences for breaking them. Giving this same information in handout form that needs to be signed by parents and students will ensure that everyone knows what is to be expected of them. This will influence the students’ rights by letting them know that even with the right to free speech, there is a time and place for everything. Although every student has the right to an education, if one student becomes disruptive enough to threaten the safety of the classroom removal of that student may be necessary. It is unfair to the other students who adhere to the classroom policies to be punished for one student’s misconduct. In this situation I feel it is fair to infringe upon the one students rights for the sake of the learning…
