Philip Jackson The Crowd Analysis
As Phillip Jackson writes, he speaks about how “crowds, praise, and power” function as lessons for students need to learn in order to succeed in the classroom. Jackson speaks about the “crowd” and how the student has to interact with the other students, or the “crowd”. How patience has to be exerted by the students because there are so many of them, the teacher can’t help all 30 at once. Jackson also speaks about the “praise”, which talks about the evaluations that not only teachers can give to students, but what students can give to teachers as well. Teachers can not only evaluate a student’s academic qualities but his or her personal as well. Lastly the “power” of the teacher, and how much power the teacher controls. They ultimately control

    Detracking In Context Beth Rubin Summary

    It shows how the teachers interact with students, and how students react with the teachers. In that meager setting at Oakcity High School with Mr. Bartlett, he doesn’t cater to students needs. He does things in a strict basic formatted setting because “...on any job they get outside of school, there’s going to be a certain formats they must follow to be successful on the job. McDonald’s, there’s a certain way of frying French fries. There’s a certain was of customer service. They have to learn that format”.(pg. 661) He feels as though his students are unable to comprehend those in depth discussions. He teaches basic ideals and principals, then tests students on them. He also feels that all of his students are “somewhat on the same level”(pg. 661). His basic teaching format of “read a section, complete the section handout, take section quiz, repeat daily for five days, take chapter test Friday”(pg. 662) is completely unacceptable and demoralizes students. One student, Monique says “I want to go to college, but... if this is boring here I’m going to be bored in college”. This apathy towards students highly affects them…

    Analysis Of David Foster Wallace's Essay: Element Of The Crowd

    The essays of David Foster Wallace are, in many ways, not about the subjects they pretend to cover. Foster Wallace is not concerned with lobsters, high-stake tennis matches or the way that Midwesterners gather around their TV's. Instead, Foster Wallace is interested with what surrounds these subjects and what they have to say about human experience. In this sense, the seemingly random topics Foster Wallace chooses to focus his lens on are actually incredibly precise. He uses them to find existential, and sometimes metaphysical, insight out of the mundane. It is for this reason that I think he is drawn to subjects that involve crowds, such as the Maine Lobster Festival in "Consider the Lobster," the 2006 Wimbledon tournament in "Federer as Religious Experience," and a group TV viewing in "911: The View from the Midwest." The increased number of people in the crowds in these settings gives Foster Wallace a larger sample…

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.

    Panopticism in the Classroom

    “Power” may be defined as one having the ability or right to delegate, act, direct, and or influence others or certain events because of ones higher status. In a classroom setting we have the students and teacher/s; students learn from the teachers, who obtain the information on what to teach from a higher panel of educators, who previously obtained that information from an even higher panel of educators, and the line goes on. The process of passing the knowledge is done to help students get the correct information they need succeed to reach higher places in life, preparing them to someday obtain a higher role.

    Behavior-Specific Praise In The Classroom

    Regarding praising students in general, numerous researches have credited praising as a powerful motivational tool if the right commendation is delivered at the right time, in the right way, and under the right situation. Villeda, S.T., Shuster, B. C., Magill, L. & Carter, E. W. (2014) in their “Behavior-Specific Praise in the Classroom” article indicates that over 30 years of research has revealed that behavior-specific praise (BSP) is an effectual tool in promoting students’ appropriate behavior in the classroom. Furthermore, an increase in teacher BSP can enhance academic outcomes for students. Concurrently, another article by Hodgman, M. R. (2015) also concludes that praise can be an effective tool to motivate students if used appropriately.…

    Audience Analysis

    The main purpose of manifesting an efficient speech is to be able to connect with one’s audience. In order to do so, the presenter must analyze the demographics of said audience. The audience must be able to relate to the presenter’s speech. For instance, if the topic describes an argumentative concept such as abortion or gay rights, it would be best to provide viewpoints of each side. This way, those who are subjective to a particular point on either end of the argument, can relate to the topic more efficiently. For this audience analysis, we will use abortion as an example. If the audience is unaware of the topic, they will not be able to connect to it and will thus lose interest. The topic of abortion is relevant to any and all audiences because it is a well known controversial topic. Relevancy of the topic is critical for any directed audience for this reason. In order to truly create this relevancy, as suggested before, the presenter should describe either point of view, in this case those who are for abortion (pro-choice) as well as those who are against abortion (pro-life). There are enough websites, narratives, journal entries, and even directed sources that can be used to correlate either point of view. Using this method of evaluation, the audience will remain engaged. Subjectively speaking, PowerPoint presentations are highly effective in getting most topics across a generalized audience. This is due to the fact that PowerPoint presentations are well-known to the majority of people. Additionally, the use of graphs for statistics will be beneficial as well. In order to further engage the audience, the presenter should be able to use enough statistics as evidence of each contrasting point of view. These statistics are what compliment the argument and will provide the best method of comparison for the audience. The presenter’s speaking style should display a highly knowledgeable…

    Children often compare their teachers to their parents. Teachers prepare children academically, and whether they like it or not, have an influence in the lives of their students. What a teacher says to a student can have the same effect as to what a parent says to their child. It is the difference between a student trying their best due to an encouraging teacher, and a student giving up because the teacher demeaned them publicly. Teachers must be aware of how they speak to their students as for what they say can truly effect their lives.…

    Importance of Teachers

    As the famous academic, Henry Adams quoted, “a teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” Though this statement remains valid, and I indeed adopt Adams’ opinion on the topic, in this evolving modern era, other influences are becoming increasingly vital to the success of any individual. Although our success in school, considering academic, social and emotional development, is widely affected by numerous outside influences, including effort, it must be accepted that the overwhelming contributor to a students success is a dedicated and applied teacher, working both as a role model in class and strengthening, planning and structuring a strong curriculum behind the scenes. Metaphorically speaking, the student is the plant, while teachers are their roots: facilitating growth and allowing the plant to flourish and thrive. Effort may be seen as the fertilizer, enhancing the plants growth, and supporting the roots.…
