...Fabulous First Grade Case Study: Thinking Outside The Box to Manage Disruptions Mary Gajnos First Grade Teacher Keller Elementary Green Bay, Wisconsin December 10, 2013 This is a case study of one of my first graders who began the year with what one would call quite a reputation for disrupting the class. In this study I will try to show how I had to reflect, change, and implement other strategies/methods in order for him to coexist in our classroom. As I write this about student M, I have just come from having a very tough day with another student that we are currently looking into trying the same strategies. I say this because I am a person who reflects daily on the happenings of the day and put myself through the “could of, should of, would of” scenario. As never having done a case study, I hope to show that by just being true, fair, and realistic to a vision; one can try their best to better themselves as well as the classroom they are in charge of. As I started researching this I found Maslow’s theory that states, “Unproductive behavior is not viewed as an indication of a bad child but rather as a reaction to the frustration of one’s basic needs not being met.” Student M came to first grade after a very traumatic kindergarten experience. I was able to observe this and at times thought “What am I going to do next year?” M comes from a background of mom and dad both being incarcerated last year and being “raised” by Spanish speaking grandma. I saw him throw...

...Ethical Implications of Classroom Management 2 There are many things as teachers we have to watch out for when it comes to being good role models for students. The wrong move towards a student can lead to the beginning of a long drawn out process that can get your teaching license revoked, or worse than that jail. Knowing the rights and regulations for student and parent will neglect such things. We as role models have to be careful of the tone we use, grabbing a child, mistreating a child, or even abusing the child. As long as we keep control of the classroom and outside of the classroom none of these things should happen. Unfortunately these things do happen, but if you use the right methods not only as a teacher but human being these things will be after thoughts. An article in The Journal of Education Research, described that aggressive teaching methods have been documented in Israeli, China and Australia. These tactics have made the students distant and have a negative feel for teachers. Some of the things the article talks about are horrible classroom management skills by teachers and disrespectful students. Part of the journal states that “students behaviors are purposeful acts based on their interpretations of school and classroom life, especially their relationships with teachers (Schlosser, 1992). Part of the problem researchers attribute this too is teacher misbehavior. There...

...Running head: ETHICS LEGALITY CLASSROOM Ethics and Legality in Classroom Management Jordan Hollern GCU EDU 536 03/04/2012 Ethics and Legality in Classroom Management A teacher must deal with disruptive classroom behavior throughout their career. To do so, they must not only develop their skills in handling these situations but also develop ethical standards for their classroom. These standards set forth by the teacher will help them deal with their students, those students’ parents, the school administrators and their community. There are numerous articles written that could help a teacher when researching any legal or ethical issues that may arise during their teaching career. This paper summarizes four peer-reviewed articles that address the legal and ethical implications for classroom management related to the rights and responsibilities of students, parents and teachers. The first article under review is Public School Law-Teachers and Student’s Rights in which the legal rights of both the teacher and the students are defined. The article also includes the legal liabilities of the teacher in the classroom. The Negligent Tort Law states that a teacher may be held accountable by a court of law if he or she could have foreseen and prevented the injury by exercising proper care (McCarthy & Cambron-McCabe, 1992). The duty of the teacher in the classroom is to protect the students (McCarthy, et.al, 1992). The teacher must take all precautions...

...Legal and Ethical Implications for Classroom Management Courtney Ball Grand Canyon University EDU-536 Jeff Martin June 10, 2014 Legal and Ethical Implications for Classroom Management There are many legal and ethical pitfalls for teachers when considering classroom management. Teachers face pressure from administrators, state agencies, parents, and students to have successful and effective classrooms. Over the years, the standard has moved and is constantly changing with initiatives such as Common Core and No Child Left Behind. Teachers need to be aware of the changing landscape of laws and what is acceptable by society. In this essay, I will look at four articles that examine classroom management and analyze them in respect to my future classroom management style and current societal norms. First Article The first article I looked at was "Consideration for Gender-Friendly Classrooms". This article discussed the use of gender bias strategies. It highlighted the differences between general learning styles of boys and girls. The highlight of the article was that it recognized the societal gender norms not only impact students, but also teachers as well (Kommer, 2006). Kommer went on to build a case for a mixture strategies that would play on the strengths of both boys and girls. Depending on the culture, girls and boys are said to be the same. Kommer contends that the goal is not to make boys and girls the same, but to have equity in teaching styles (Kommer, 2006). Analysis...

...Running head: Implications for Classroom Management Legal and Ethical Implications for Classroom Management Phedelia Singleton Grand Canyon University EDU-536 Classroom Engagement and Management December 21, 2011 Ethics is a word for human behavior which includes classroom behavior. Ethical behavior is a realm of classroom ethics. In every complex society proper ethical is difficult, but it starts when a child is young. The implications below are a few of many ethical principles in the classroom which are significant among our students today. Teaching Ethics: The Role of the Classroom Teacher For many years, ethical development (children’s character or moral development) has been a controversial topic. It is important to emphasize character development among students as part of preparing students. Controversy has developed over the years into, whether the teacher or parents is responsible. Preparing children as productive adults has challenges for schools. There are few questions as to who should feed character development. There are concerns for the counselor and parents as prime candidates of building children ethical characters. But, teachers are in position as a key influence among students. The Ethics of Classroom Silence Teachers can question student refusing to actively participate in their own learning. It is said that students are acting unethical in this area. Students benefit from learning and the teacher is effective...

...The first article that I read was titled Public school Law: Teachers’ and student’s rights by Martha McCarthy. The author highlights the legal rights of the teacher and student alike. A court can determine that An educator is liable if he or she could have “foreseen and prevented the injury by exercising proper care†as documented in the Negligent Tort Law (McCarthy & Cambron-McCabe, 1992). Furthermore, the same law states that the duty to protect is a crucial component of the teacher’s role in the classroom. This highly sensitive responsibility includes taking all of the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of students that are being supervised. As a result, if an accident or injury occurs which could have been prevented or predicted by any member of the staff and proper supervision was overlooked then the law declares that negligence has occurred. However, if a poor choice or non-compliance with classroom rules by the student contributed to the incident, it can be classified as contributory negligence in which the teacher can no longer be held liable. Often the factors of development and age appropriate ability are evaluated closely in attempt to establish contributory negligence. In addition, various other components are addressed when a claim of negligence is investigated. These other contributing factors can be the certification and professional training of the supervising instructor, the surroundings in which the incident took place, and the nature...

...Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative University of New Mexico http://danielsethics.mgt.unm.edu Integrating Business Ethics in Business Courses INTRODUCTION Teaching business ethics requires an understanding of the organizational dimensions of ethical decisionmaking. Although most people believe that employees learn to be ethical at home and school and through life experiences, the work environment creates challenges for even the most ethical person. For example, employees cannot always make independent ethical decisions due to a corporate culture that has many types of managers and employees using their own concepts of right and wrong. Managers sometimes pressure employees into questionable activities. However, business ethics becomes more transparent once an organization establishes codes of ethics, as well as compliance requirements and ethical leadership. The objective of this chapter is to provide some essential strategies for integrating business ethics into business courses. The authors examine the role of stakeholders, implications of the global financial crisis, and important issues in teaching business ethics, as well as providing resources to integrate business ethics successfully into a course. THE IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS ETHICS Business courses provide an essential and dynamic foundation for students developing their business careers. Although it is important to teach many traditional concepts such as human resources and marketing, emphasizing emerging topics that are...

...Business Ethics Reform Heidi Hamilton MGT320-3 – The Legal Environment of Business Colorado State University-Global Campus Dr. Jason Lum April 26, 2013 Business Ethics Reform There have been many, increasingly significant business scandals and failures over the past forty years. There were the bribery scandals of the 1970s, the defense industry scandals of the 1980s, and the Savings & Loan scandals of the 1908s and 1990s. After that came the dot-com collapse, the accounting scandals involving Enron and WorldCom, and most recently the financial scandals and crisis of 2006-2009, whose effects have been the most damaging, and significant worldwide (Brekert, 2010). History gives us an early warning about ethical pitfalls of business and the tragedies that result from those ethical failures in business. People have been aware of these problems for quite some time. The ancient Greek historian Plybius said that Carthage fell because "nothing that leads to profit is considered disgraceful" (Cuilla, 2011). This goes to show that the basic problems of business ethics are not new. The only thing that changes is the cultural and technological aspects of the problem. Even Ptah-hotep in his book written between 2550-2300 BCE wrote about a person's responsibilities at work. These responsibilities include adherence to duty, self-control, and transparency or vigilance against those who want to bribe or make secret deals (Cuilla, 2011). If history has taught us that...

...Cheating, Copying, and Use of Tutor-Source Websites Copying is one of the most commonly committed acts that violate academic integrity. Copying includes looking off of someone else’s paper (or using someone’s paper or answers from another course, classroom, or previous session). It also is committed when a purchased (or free) paper is found online that is specific to the assignments provided in the course. Websites like Student of Fortune, ScribD, Ask.com, and so forth (many others) sometimes end up with DeVry assignments posted on them by students who have hired online tutor sources to write their work for them. Faculty members are aware of these sites and, just like students, can Google sources to find out if a paper has been bought from these sites. Avoid these sites like the plague—seriously. It just isn’t worth the extra hour or two it might buy you if you end up with a 0 for the paper or course or lose your degree over buying a paper (or getting it for free.) Typically, the #1 red flag to a professor that one of these sites has been used is when multiple students miss the same question in the exact same manner. Yes, the answers on those sites will typically cost money, but the answers are not guaranteed to be right. And further, the free papers on those sites almost always have wrong answers. Do not use these sites! Avoid them! If you use them, citing them is not enough to overcome the copying stigma and violation of the policy. As one instructor of the course...

...the next generation of nurses. Teaching the novice clinician about the profession and the dedication to serving people is self fulfilling and vital to the preparation of future nurses. This paper examines the diversified roles of the educator as well as the challenges and ethical dilemmas that are congruent to the profession. The articles and nursing journals depict how the role of the educator substantially affects the health care delivery system and how the philosophy of nursing practice is implemented to promote holistic client centered care. The Clinical Nurse Educator The history of nursing education is tied to nursing's quest for a professional identity. Nursing is serious about education, placing major emphasis on lifelong learning as well as initial preparation. Nurse educators are critical players in assuring quality educational experiences that prepare novice nursing students for a diverse health care environment. They are responsible for designing, implementing, evaluating and revising academic and continuing education programs for nurses. Nurse educators combine their clinical expertise and passion for teaching into rewarding careers. They are professionals who work both in the classroom and practice setting and are responsible for mentoring and preparing the future generations of nurses. They play a huge role in strengthening the nursing...
