Which strategy should a history teacher use to get students more involved in the subject supplement the standard textbook with a variety of less academic materials including narratives biographies and news articles from the time have students read from the textbook out loud in class make all the class test questions essay have students act out battles the classroom

A- Text books are often dry and Abstract in the way they present material having the students read some first-person accounts of events are there less formal materials can bring the subject to life end my evening Christians to read more on their own. insert be will be of little use if the material is dry answer the question regards helping students to learn rather than how to evaluate the progress. answer do you use a bit overly ambitious to pull off if the classroom however is rooted in a very good idea. having students act out certain events can be very effective in the way to get soon as more involved emotionally however the event chosen should lend themselves to be available and most closely supervised to ensure realism

Mike a student in your 10th grade geometry class is rapidly falling behind because he's having a hard time grasping the concept that the most of the other students you set up a meeting with Mike's parents and want to discuss options such as encouraging them to hire private tutor or possibly transferring to a remedial math class what might be the best way to begin this discussion. Mike is working very hard but he's a tough time I wanted to discuss a few ideas with you and also hear your input on what we can do to help him might currently has one of the lowest average in the class I wanted to be frank with you when something does not change I'm afraid he will fail have you been working with Mike much at home to help him he just doesn't seem to cut it Mike is having a little trouble in Geometry I'm sure he'll do fine but just wanted to let you know

A- This approach clearly communicates the problem the same time showing respect for the student invites the parents and put this is a good way to lay groundwork for cooperative learning Do you want make some defensive it doesn't effectively communicate the seriousness of the problem parents will leave the meeting with thinking that's no big deal

which method of lesson planning will help ensure that his or her lessons will take advantage of the multiple intelligences of different students? - use a lesson planning Matrix to help devise learning activities are organized according to different abilities -survey to students about what helps them learn about -design a seating plan so that students who need the most help sit in the front - try to use more images and graphs and presentations

A- a lesson planning Matrix makes it easier for teachers to plan their lessons around a variety of useful strategies answer be does not take into account how 1 will incorporate the students various skills into the lesson. moreover students are not always fully aware of their learning abilities answer see fails to address lesson planning at all and also might make it slower students feel that they are being unfairly set singled out. answer D is in fact one way to improve the comprehension of some students but it is only one method and will not especially help the students for visually oriented

how can you best ensure that your students quickly settled down at the beginning of class so that they can get on with a lesson establish a firm routine at the beginning of class so the students know what to expect use the time will the students are settling in to catch up on paper threaten to send the class to detention tell students they can leave early if the class get started on time

A- establish a firm routine such as leading role call or reviewing the previous day's homework everyone knows exactly what to expect and when to expect it they will fall in the routine as well answer be will result in the students taking even longer to settle down answer see some practical and unless you actually enforce it will result in students not taking you seriously answer D gets very bad example and implies good discipline is negotiable

what is the best way to ensure an overall good behavior from your student establish the set of rules for your classroom give the students to read copy and go over the rules and the beginning of the year or semester a good teacher is a strict teacher from the very beginning be growth with students and show them that you have no tolerance for nonsense Wait a few days before setting ground rules students will respect you more if you give them more leeway and the beginning as I settle in change your rules frequently to keep the students on their toes

A- establishing clear set of rules for your classroom from the very beginning is the best way to let your students know what is expected of them giving the students of rules in writing that they have no excuse to not know what the rules are but not all it's not necessarily to your advantage to establish a negative light for your students and Cersei is a very bad idea waiting to establish rules for likely result in chaos students will get seriously

What's the best way to handle the current events that are relevant to your class keep your lesson plans flexible and in a great extended discussion of current events as they occur don't allow current events to distract the class from keeping you on you on schedule have students were search current events on their own for extra credit set strict parameters on the discussion of current events such as holding discussions during the last 10 minutes of class on Fridays

A- if you're teaching a class while relevant current events are taking place it's well worth the time to devote a significant amount of time addressing them in class A few things that motivate students as much as seeing what their how what they're learning apply to real life especially in the present insert a mistake the teacher should be flexible make judgments on a case-by-case basis as to how much time is appropriate to the boat and Cersei is a great idea but should not substitute for class discussion the students need to hear the teachers explanation of events before taking on extra curricular assignments independently answer do you want again is not very practical since some of us are more relevant than others

after careful thought Miss marks decided to allow her to begin using computers for completing class writing assignments even told her class that she would permit them to bring laptops to take notes after some time however she realized that the students were using wireless connections on laptops to chat with each other during class. How sould she respond She should firmly warm students that this is not allowed and that continued will jeopardize their privilege to use laptops in class chill out since it helps them learn technology she should go back to the old policy of not allowing computers at all since she is unable to identify which students are guilty she should have signed attention to the entire class

A- in fact many schools do not admit students to have laptops in class you should consult the school rules and ask your schools technology coordinator how to handle the use of laptops in class and said be would be a direct violation of the school policy and he get the teacher in trouble so she is overkill and sturdy is wrong there is no reason to punish the whole class for something a couple of students is doing

how can I teach your end of class lesson so that the students begin to process the material and keep it in their minds take a moment to talk about how the days lesson connects if it's with the previous lesson and the next bass lesson give a pop quiz column student at random to stand up before the class and explain what most important thing that he or she learned was be sure that the students have homework assignment every single day

A- it greatly helps the learning process when the teacher is already learned this also serves to remind students of the past lessons and to keep the information fresh answer BCan be useful occasionally but it's not practical in the daily option. Answer C would be substantial and raising tension in the classroom and would do little to assist the students and processing information answerD is certainly helpful but once more it does not substitute teacher for tying things together at the end of the lesson

how can a teacher ensure that all students are contributed equally during the Cooperative learning exercises -the teacher should circulate among the groups and observe how they're working together - Assign one of these students in each group two monitor student participation -assign each student in each group a specific task to accomplish -avoid such exercises since there inevitably end up with 2 students doing most of the work

A- it is the teacher's responsibility to observe the following the instructions equally likely to result answer c defeats the purpose of the exercise. the point is for the students to learn how to actively divide group tasks on their own. Answer d simply deny students the experience of learning this valuable lesson

What approaches mr. Michael and says he is ashamed of his accent and asked when he can get rid of it how should mr. Michael respond make inquiries with the school administration about the availability of a speech therapist for blad tell Vlad that it's natural to have an accent and that he shouldn't be ashamed of it offered to provide an accent coach to black but tell him that it will cost $30 an hour tell Vlad that is not the school's responsibility

A- many schools have a speech therapist on staff or at the very least there may be such a therapist who floats between schools such a specialist may be able to help glad answer be is simply an opt-out answer see is unethical teachers cannot suggest students charge students for tutoring however there are no other options the teacher could recommend that the student find a professional Language Coach answered once again is an opt-out glad will quickly get the message that mr. Michael doesn't care if he falls through the cracks

how can a teacher best I'm sure that'll lesson will be coherent and logical? -clean out the lesson in writing ahead of time -ask the class everyday if they understand -make sure that your lesson never Strays from the textbook -Rely On the sample lesson plans from the teacher guide book

A- planning out the lesson yourself and writing is the only way to ensure that all the parts of your lesson will fit together logically the more time you put into your prep the better your lesson will go in the classroom answer B is unreliable for this purpose. the students do not know what your goals of the lesson are occasionally checking in with your students is useful but not as a substitute for lesson planning. answer see is equally ineffective and will bore even the best of your students to tears. Most classes need to go by on the scope of the textbook and many classes use more than one book answer D is a very poor way to teach. you this will as well students

This quarter there are several ell's in mr michaels literature class there is one student vlad who is russian and seems to understnad english well but his accent That can sometimes be hard to understand some of the other students make fun of his accent in class that makes blood angry he often response by using profanity another student Maria's Mexican and is having a lot of trouble keeping up with reading assignments 1/3 student AIko is from Japan add mr. Michael deal with the students who are making fun of lads accent hold them after class and friendly explain to them that it's not acceptable and they will be punished if it continues explain to them that if they move to Russia they would have an accent to so I None of the students and make fun of lad this will teach them that he should stop speaking in an accent ask God to teach a class in Russian folk dances this will make everyone more comfortable give the whole class extra assignments this way they will be too busy to make fun of lad

A- speak to the students who are mistreating glad and punish them if it continues and Toby would be unethical and cruel it's a she has nothing to do with the problem and D is unfair to the rest of the class

It's a good example of a learning goal that is teacher should set for a poetry unit in an English literature class - students will learn to identify the most common meters used in English literature with a focus being placed upon iambic pentameter - students will learn to appreciate and enjoy as an art form -students will learn how to identify the elements of good poetry - students will learn the cultural importance of a poetry to English speakers around the world

A- this is a specific practical that can be tested and evaluated answer B is ambiguous and it cannot be effectively evaluated and Cersei sound specific but backed deals in opinion what makes a poem good is subjective insert D is also ambiguous the learning goals for each unit should be specific and measurable

how should mr. Nelson handle it if Eric comes to him it says that he disagrees with his father and wants to focus all his energy and French so he can study abroad recommend another conference with the guidance counselor encourage Jeff to follow his heart regardless of what his father wants tell Jeff that his father knows what's best for him call just father and try to convince him that Jeff should focus and what he does best

A- this is not a good place for a teacher to take sides the guidance counselors in a good position to help bring about a diplomatic solution and Serbia could result in a major conflict with Eric's father and Cersei will make Eric's feel boxed in clearly he needs assistance in dealing with the situation and sardius risky unless mr. Nielsen feels that he is a very strong rapport with Erics dad intervening in this way could create a much more hostile situation

after speaking to Eric mr. Nielsen is perplexed when he asked why his grades were dropping Eric responded that he was taking harder classes this year and was having trouble balancing everything during the conversation Eric seem conflicted on one hand he said that he still loved French but the same time he repeated it was not his portin is his computer science and trig class would The Logical Next Step be contact Eric's parents computer science and if they could cut back Eric's work speak with a guidance counselor suggest that Eric dropt a second semester French

A-Mr. Nelson should contact Eric's parents it may not be necessary to make the tough decision in the near future and Aris parents should be involved before the process goes any further answer be as inappropriate it's not mr. Nelson's placed and if you ever the way another teacher teaches a class and Cersei is actually a good idea but Eric's parents need to be notified about the problems first answer DS drastic especially since mr. Nielsen knows that Eric has a talent in the area and he enjoys a subject

getting the classroom ready for the first day of school can be overwhelming for a teacher as a big day comes one Must often make some hard choices and leave things to be done later which of the following could wait. Optimize arrangement of the student desks decorate all bulletin boards and set them up make sure that you have enough text books and they are in satisfactory condition verify that equipment such as overhead projectors computer work stations are functional and ready to use

B- End boards are great way to make your classroom look more appealing to students they can also communicate rules schedules and other information however it's not absolutely essential on the first day of school insert a is more important since the students have a good view of the main teaching area if you have them move around it will make it harder for you to learn names answer see is essential so that all students have access to materials in the class of course it's not critical which materials that will not be used until later on in the term insert is equally important if you intend to rely on these items in your teaching

what is the most accurate indicator of overall student performance final exams and other test that cover the material and a comprehensive bases the Combine results of frequent evaluations given throughout the term studies show that in the end teachers gut instinct about a student is usually right homework and papers are usually the best indicator since they show how the student thinks we're not under this teacher supervision

B- Frequent evaluation show how student performance on a weekly basis they offer the opportunity to reveal a problem earlier so that can be a dress without affecting students grades answer a is not always reliable since the student may be nervous or not functioning at their best on a particular day answer see is not nonsense a teacher's evaluation should always be based on the objective indicators and so they can certainly be used to indicate how a student performs under controlled conditions without access to references such as calculators encyclopedias or help from family members

Which teacher characteristics will best help facilitate student cooperation in the classroom rigid military discipline consistency and enforcement of rules playful loving approach when rules are broken ignore misbehavior so that students will see that they can't get to you

B- Horny teacher is consistent and how she runs the classroom the students will more quickly understand the rules and will recognize when the rules apply equally to everyone answer a can work in some classrooms with some students will find this too intense and Cersei will lead the students to taking advantage of the teacher misbehaving even more it's will likely lead to chaos well it wise not to let the students get a rise out of you the teacher should always react so that there will be a clear the missbehavior will not be tolerated

Miss Elam often is intimidated by computers in the classroom so she often tries to use computer apps in the classroom so all the students always know more about them than she does she feel self-conscious and embarrassed she's tried to read up on new classroom technology and education but nevertheless feels two steps behind what should she do Clearly her ignorance is undermining her Authority should be more strict with the students so they don't laugh with her technology changes quickly the article she is reading might be outdated she would be better off discussing the problem with other teachers and taking a class on technology Since the students tend to under-stand the technology better Missy long should that the soonest to teach her what she needs to know Missy love is obviously incompetent with computers she would be better off relying on traditional teaching methods and leave the technology to experts

B- Miss Elam will need to work harder to stay current she doesn't have to become an expert but she's not allowed herself to fall behind or she feels intimidated she should be more creative or proactive about the resources she uses and educating herself insert a is not a solution certainly students should not be permitted to disrespect her but that is only a symptom of the real problem and Cersei is risky will the students May know more about then the teacher to understand the technology from a different perspective they may not be the most reliable source of information and sturdy is a opt out technology is too important to Simply set aside because the teacher is behind in the times this is elim will continue to feel inadequate until she makes an effort to get herself current

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet which technique might help the students maintain and despite the difficult language? - give the students of glossary of archaic English words commonly found in the play - include a discussion of some modern interpretations of the story movies such as Romeo and Juliet or even West Side Story has to identify differences between them and the original -have the students read the parts out loud -detailed discussion of English syntax and grammar of the period

B- Modern easier to understand than search for the differences will ensure that they actually redo rich as well and certainly be helpful but it is not likely to last answer see is also a useful practice but without really understanding of the context much of the drama will be lost upon the students answered While most certainly put most of the students to sleep and is unnecessary for setting a single play

how does this. Multiple intelligences address of learning needs of students - it suggests quite simply that some students are smarter than others and that teachers must accept that while a see is a bad grade for some students it's a very good grade for other -this is just a different people learn a different ways and that teachers can give more students a better chance by using a variety of - I suggest every student has only two areas of talent which he or she can Excel that wants italics identify students should not be pushed into other areas -it suggests all students are equally intelligent and that they will learn if they are motivated enough

B- The theory suggests that some students learn better through verbal interaction with others are more visual physical or artistic by using a variety of teaching methods rather than lecturing working problems on a chalkboard teachers will ensure that students will grasp any given topic any of these models may be applied in teaching any subject

If the students in your class have radically varied levels of skill and knowledge which technique will make your class more manageable? -she's a medium level of instruction that you believe will work for most of the students in the class -break the class up into several small groups / skill level and give appropriate assignments to each group -teacher class to the highest skill level and then offer help after class to those who can't keep up -ask the smartest students to transfer to a more advanced classes so that we can students to transfer to remedial classes

B- by breaking the class up and homogeneous groups you can more easily address the needs of all the. keep in mind that this works better in some change subject areas than others answer a is what many teachers do but it leaves out the needs of the strongest and weakest students enter see is not very practical since you will likely be working with a week or students everyday after class I will not have much time for the strongest units when they need help. answer do you would be ideal in a perfect world but very likely that one of the reasons your class is heterogenous is that there may not be a remedial or advanced class of 8. or that felt fell to the fell to the crack between these classes.

what strategy works better for keeping students from losing focus during longer talk or explanations break your lecture up with jokes are personal antidotes put a general outline of what you will discuss stop every minute or two and quizzes student at random on whether they understood the concept start off your lesson by asking a student what they already know about the subject

B- by putting a general outline will make it easier for the students to follow your talk insert a would likely make it harder for the soonest follow your lesson and Cersei would be disruptive and occasional question to ask question to a student who is not paying attention is fine but doing this too much will cause your lesson to Veer off schedule they also interfere with students note-taking. insert D could also lead to confusion after all your goals for all your students to have the same level of understanding

What is the best starting point on deciding the floor plan of the classroom make sure that all students desk tar I intend to back to the windows to ensure minimal distraction consider the size and shape of the room and decide for the optimal position would be to carry out most instruction arrange desks to face the chalkboard use whatever Arrangements already there school administrators spend a lot of time before the beginning of school at the rising the floor plans of every classroom the build

B- classrooms come in various shapes and sizes wherever the arrangement that works for one class will not necessarily work for another. Intercede with the desk spacing the chalkboard seem logical and might work in many cases but you need to consider the needs of your class first for the samples some teachers prefer to use an overhead projector instead of a chalkboard also some classrooms have more the 1 chalkboard answer a is not a good idea unless there is a major source of distraction D is absurd School administrators don't spend time on optimizing floor plans

how should mr. Michael deal was the problem with vads use of profanity Send Vlad to the principal's office and subjects that he be suspended call me explain to Vlad in private that he understands he's upset about being made fun of for the words he is using are extremely defensive and can be not use it's cool ignore the profanity since he's a foreigner who probably doesn't know better give lad detention

B- foreigners often underestimate the effectiveness of such words because language is foreign to them they should however be taught which words are acceptable and which are not interested will result in the problem continuing which is unacceptable regardless of whether Vlad understands the meaning of what he's saying the teacher must correct the behavior answer do you would only be appropriate if the student continues using appropriate language after you confront him

mrs. marks teaches 9th grade composition class she's not very comfortable with computers is always been wary of allowing students to write essays on their home computers because she's heard that computers make it easier to plagiarize however her students asked her over and over again to allow assignments written on word processors recently one parent made a point there really stuck out her he explained that he was a business person without good computer computer For writing in order to get jobs later on after the conversation misses Mark's began to feel very much behind the times and realize that she might actually be doing her students a disservice by forbidding them to use computers in her class considering that mrs. Mark's own experience with computers is limited what should she do in order to teach writing with computers effectively enrolling a computer science class at the local Community College form a study group with other teachers to discuss and share new teaching techniques that use computers tell the parents that writing is writing with or without computers and as soon as can pick up computer skills and other classes as soon as to teacher about using the word processor

B- forming a study group with other teachers isn't traffic way to share techniques in a low-pressure environment focus on the specific needs of teaching answer is great but this may be Overkill and not address specific needs after all she's not teaching programming and there so you would indicate that the teacher and the serious denial refuses to accept changes in the modern world and tortillas back words to go the teachers to teach his students what they do not already know

a school administrator recently set and an observed mr. nailers algebra class mr. nailer receive several criticisms which one should he take the most seriously the bulletin board in his classroom could be better organized about a quarter of the students did not appear to be participating in the class discussion two students in the back of the class were passing notes back and forth the class was about a week behind where it should be according to the county guidelines

B- is it it it is extremely important that the class meets the needs of all of the students if 1/4 of the students are disengaged they're probably not learning as much as they should be teacher should try a different approach answer as low priority as long as the class is proceeding well and Cersei needs to be addressed but it's not necessarily serious problem as long as the teacher pays attention insert d falling a little behind schedule is okay as long as the students are learning sometimes it's appropriate for a teacher take more time on a particular lesson if the whole class is having trouble

After you send a student to the principal's office for repeatedly disrupting class the principal suspends student for three days following the suspension the principle of forms you that he would like to put the student back in your class what are your obligations you should do as instructed and allow the student back into class you are not obligated to allow the student back into class if you are uncomfortable you must file a petition with the Board of Ed if you don't want the student in class you have to let the student back in the class only if you can't find another teacher willing to take the student

B- removing a student from class for seriously disruptive behavior no teacher may be obligated to take the student back no principal make horse you to do so it's your decision alone to make

you are covering the American Revolution and the formation of the United States in your 10th grade US history class which task would not help your students process what they are learning -have the students write an essay on how the ideas of the founding fathers continue to influence us today -have each of the students members as the different part of the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence and recite it before class -as a student to keep a learning log in which each day they write a short paragraph about the meaning of what they learned in that class day -assign each student to research and prepare an oral presentation on one of the founding fathers or another important figure of the time

B- simply memorizing words from the Constitution Independence does nothing to ensure that the students actually understand the meaning behind the words. processing means the activity requires student to interpret new material and express it in the original way insert a requires a student to consider the revolution from a modern perspective. answer see requires the student to spend some time every day thinking about what they learned which helps the new material be active in the. in the history of our country

Scenario Eric one of the students and mr. Neal second-year friend class has gotten Seas on the last 3 vocab quizzes mr. Nielsen is not surprised because Eric is always seemed like a good student until now additionally Eric also seems less energetic than before in fact he or fears appears to be on the verge of falling asleep mr. Nelson goes over Eric's records and verifies that he was consistent and minus student during the first year French granted that since the beginning of 2nd year French Eric's French had dropped to a study B+ until the latest situation it is true that the second year is significantly more difficult and intense but the latest dropping grades is beyond what mr. Nelson would normally expect although Eric does not fit the profile mr. Nelson wonders if Eric could have become involved in drugs because he seems so lethargic in class what would be the best to take Contact Eric's parents and notify them that his grades have dropped and that he might be taking drugs approach Eric directly and ask him about his grades approach one of Eric's friends and ask them if Eric is taking drugs assign extra credit work to Eric so that he can bring up his grades

B- the first step for mr. Neal sense approach would to be approached directly and ask him what's wrong this offers the best opportunity to gain trust which is an important part of solving a problem insert a Content teen parents is not a bad idea but suggesting drugs with little evidence is reckless and her season appropriate a teacher should not violate a student's rights to privacy by discussing information with fellow students answer do you would be pretty mature before finding a solution the problem must be identified

Which equipment should be arranged first when deciding upon a class floor plan a teacher's desk computer workstations filing cabinets overhead projector

B- the placement of computer workstations is dictated by the location of electrical outlets and internet connections therefore it's desirable to arrange it before bringing in other equipment insert a the teacher's desk is less critical but should be positioned so that it words the teacher a good view of the classroom when they are working answer see filing cabinets is the least critical item and may usually be left until the last since the only issues concerned placement or they should be out of the way student traffic or easily accessible from the teacher's desk insert a overhead projector needs to be producers with direct line site of the screen but they're off down wheeled carts that can be moved

Post and taking over a 20th century history class for a colleague was come down with prolonged illness and will be unable to finish the term the teacher has confided and you that That she has AIDS I just asked you not to tell anyone the class is currently covering World War II and you have a living relative who was a German soldier during the war some of your students are Jewish one of the students in the class Julie happens to be the principles niece and she has a reputation for being hyperactive and disruptive which of the following is not an ethical violation tell him his students that the former teacher has AIDS inviting your relative to come speak to the class about the experience fighting for World War II Nazis being a little more lenient to Julie's Behavior than you are with other students to make sure that the principle of will not be upset with you give Julie some of your prescription allergy medicine since she 10 it tends to have a sedative effect

B- there would be nothing wrong with inviting your relative to speak to the class appropriate and respectful to all of the students in fact it could be a very interesting and educational experience insert a would violate other teachers rights to privacy unless she personally told you that it was okay to tell the students answer see would also be ethically wrong Julie should receive the same treatment as any other student if you generally feel that you're being pressured by the principal to do otherwise than your school should contact an administrator regarding the matter answer D is unethical and illegal

if you decide to allow your students to check their own homework and class which method of recording grades should not be used collect the graded assignment and record them yourself has as soon as call their grades from there walk around the room and check the grades have a teacher's aide record the grade

B- this creates higher Temptation for some of the students to dishonestly change their grades insert a works well but requires more time from the teacher in Searcy is efficient method for recording Gray's in the situation although it requires last time answer DSi deal although teachers may not always have an aide

which of the following is a valid technique to use with non-native English speakers in your class they're having trouble in your school has limited ESL resources? -ask students parents to hire a translator to sit with a student in class - use more visual aids and illustrate hand gestures while gestures while teaching -speak as rapidly as possible so that it will get used to hearing English faster - repeat everything you say twice

B- using additional visual aids in hand gestures will help get your point across more clearly, answer a is inappropriate. the parents should not have to pay for a translator, and such a strategy would also not encourage a student to increase their English skills. Insert see would make it even harder for the student to understand in Saudi would be unfair to the other students since it would greatly slow down the class and make it impossible to cover material on schedule.

suppose a particular promising student in your 11th grade physics class has become increasingly arrogant to the point that's disrupting your lessons student constantly complains out loud that the class is too easy and blurts out answers to the problem before you finished explaining if the student is in fact one of your best students in the class is probably not Advanced for him however he must complete this class moved on to more advanced classes how my teacher go about resolving this problem discipline the student by lowering his grades try to come up with two or three options that could resolve the and work with the students to commit to one of them recommend the student parents that they might want to consider enrolling him in a physics class at the community college send the student to the vice principals

B- work with a student to come up with acceptable options for solving the problem and ask the student to commit to one of them it may be helpful to involve the parents or guidance counselor Asuna is much more likely to cooperate if he has more than one option answer A will likely lead to more problems answerC maybe a practical option depending on the school but once more the student will become more likely to respond constructively there multiple options answerD like answerA does not get at the root of the problem since attitude is not typical of the student indicates a bigger problem

when students disagree during a class discussion what should the teacher do to resolve the disagreement so that the class can proceed in an organized fashion immediately tell the class but the correct answer is in move on encourages students to work out their differences through the logical and friendly debate Tell the students that whenever there is a debate in class the student who is right we'll get extra credit the scourge of students from disagreeing with each other in class instead of having them ask you when they have a question

B-Learning took an active lease or out difference is an important life skill that is worth pursuing in class into a Define students a chance to benefit from the true discussion and Cersei sends the wrong message instead you should let students know that they will be graded on their level of participation D would have the same stippling effects as A

suppose that you are transitioning activity to another during class but you noticed that two of your students are still struggling to finish with the current task what is the best recourse single student out in front of the rest of class so that they feel motivated to do work better do not go forward with a new activity and and wait for the two students to finish continue with a new activity allow the two students to continue and finish the activity that they're on let them know quietly that they can meet you with the class to learn whatever they missed give the two students and ask for the day because they didn't finish your work on time

C- Do not interrupt the flow of your class when only a couple of students need more time however do take the two slower students I do not get lost in the shuffle set aside a few minutes after class while they are doing seatwork to catch them up enter a could traumatize the too slow students is there be wouldn't be fair to the other students it would interfere with the flow of the lesson plan however if a majority of your students are having trouble and I might be worth spending more time on the subject answer D would discourage the two students from learning activities the time to test

mr. Sanchez as a new teacher of 9th grade literature. she truly loves her subject and when she holds a discussion of the previous day's reading assignment she is very enthusiastic about these discussions and encourages the students to form and express their own opinions she asks provocative questions to consider the motives of a character from different viewpoints many of the students enjoy this but an observer notices some problems misbehavior by a few students is getting out of hand in a couple of students seem to zone out what kind of mistake is Miss Sanchez making? -She is not being strict - she's devoting too much time to discussions - she is concentrating all her attention on the discussions and not noticing everything that is going on in the classroom - her enthusiasm makes her look weak to the students

C- Many new teachers make the mistake of getting so caught up in their lesson that they fail to notice the problem of behavior in the classroom before it gets out of hand. teacher and. like juggling this is a skill that takes time and practice to develop all new teachers must work hard to become competent at it.

Philip a student and mrs. Mark's class is the only student who did not take mrs.
