Jarrod's Changes In The Classroom
Over the course of the year and through this case study, I have grown in my relationships with my students and understanding what their personal and educational needs are. When I first met Jarrod on my first day of being a teacher, he just put his head down and did not talk to me. He would refuse to read or complete work. He would make noises to try to distract his peers to cause conflicts and avoid doing his work. Over the course of the year, and though some changes in staffing I went from having Jarrod one period a day, to 5 periods day and becoming his case manager. From there I really got to know Jarrod and the struggles he faces at home. I also was better able to track Jarrod’s educational progress.
What I love the most about my classroom

    I was confronted with an ethical conflict with a student. Bob (name has been changed) is a second grade boy with Emotional Disturbance. One morning during writing, Bob got upset because he did not want to write. I reminded him that he is in school to work hard. That it was not okay for him to refuse to work. I told him writing is really important and he is going to do it more in 3rd grade. I asked him to clip down for his behavior (behavior system) because he was not working hard, which breaks the school wide rule of making good choices. He was so upset that he pulled the bucket from my hand and hit me. I informed him that I understood that he was really upset and told him that that is definitely not the way to resolve a conflict. I reminded him that adults do not go around hitting one another because there are grave consequences for that type of action. I resolved the situation by reminding him to be mindful of his emotions and reminded him to breathe deeply to calm his heart rate. I gave him a break and then reminded him that when he is feeling really upset he needs to use his words so we can meet his needs. I gave him a referral. Even though I understand that the child has a difficult time dealing with emotions, I have provided strategies that can help him calm himself. He did not use them. I believe student safety comes first. I had a difficult time writing this referral because I know that sometimes he truly cannot control himself. But, I gave him a referral because…

    Hanging In: Strategies for Teaching the Students Who Challenge Us Most has and also has not made impact or achieved the goals Jeffery Benson planned for it to do. Educational programs teach the concepts that are written in his book. However, many teacher do not practice his recommendations or follow his strategies. Students are still being singled out for actions they can’t control. I believe this book is extremely useful for all teachers: veterans and new. The behavior we see as “bad” or “rude” are just cries out for help from the students. Educators need to made aware of when and how to handle the…

    The teacher sent us, Mark and Sebastian to work at a table in the back of the classroom. I think she did that so we would not interfere with the rest of the class. We worked on math and writing. We did not have any problems solving the math questions. Instead the students seemed to be happy that I could help them individually. Both Mark and Sebastian were quiet and respectful. Mark had concentration problems; for example, while we were doing the math assignment that he had from last week, he suddenly wanted to talk about his toys or any other thing but math. Sebastian on the other hand, was quiet and seemed like he has hearing problems.…

    When Jonah displays appropriate behavior as a teacher I would make sure Jonah knows I notice by saying words of encouragement and affirmation occasionally. For example if Jonah has stayed in his seat more than usual I would say “Jonah, I like how hard you are working on solving those problems” or simply comment on what Jonah is doing in a way that conveys that I am "here for him" by saying things like "I'm here if you need me" or "I'll always be here to help you”. I think it is imperative that Jonah feels important and seen in a healthy productive way rather for his challenging behavior. As mentioned early I would utilize the token economy and the 5:1 ratio. So when I see Jonah displaying appropriate behavior I would also administer a token…

    It’s important to give a little background on the writer’s history. This is the end of my fourth year as an English teacher at Napavine Jr. Sr. High School. During my time here I have also served as the ASB advisor and as a class advisor. I transferred to Napavine because it is a small school and closer to my home. From 2004-2012, I was at a 2A high school with a population of 1,088 (grades 9-12), 56.2% low income, and a 32.9% minority population. Napavine is a 2B school with a population of 325 (grades 7-12), 39% low income and a 16.8% minority population . The principal, with whom I will be working, began as a Dean of Students during my first year in the building. He did not have his administrative credentials and worked with a mentor on…

    Adhd Meeting Reflection

    • 531 Words
    • 3 Pages

    I replied that I was uncomfortable with the approach because Matthew adores his teacher and it was not my intention to ruin the relationship over homework which he has always found difficult. I decided to speak to Matthew's teacher, Mr. Washerman, after the meeting while waiting to pick up the children from school. I explained that I was an instructional assistant who worked with children who had behavior difficulties and had found some successful strategies for doing less than desirable work. He agreed that I can modify homework as I see fit as long as Matthew is practicing his vocabulary and math. I must admit it was a pleasure meeting him and I am great full for his understanding. However, I found Mrs. Plack's aforementioned conduct during this meeting out of line and her lack of preparedness a bad reflection on the special education department within Marlbrough elementary school. Consequently, this is not how I wished to start the 2016-2017 school year, but I feel if not addressed immediately that this conduct would continue throughout the school year. Ultimately I believe this would lead to Matthew's education becoming negatively impacted due to the unscrupulous behavior and lack of professionalism displayed in this…
