Unit 5 Becoming an Effective Teacher ## In this Discussion, you will apply what you are studying to two scenarios.
Please carefully read each scenario and respond to both. Try to imagine yourself as the teacher. What would you do?
Scenario 1 You have an effective class-management system whereby free time is earned for completing assigned class
work. John never gets his work done and therefore never gets free time. You feel badly, but a rule is a rule. John and
you are both frustrated. What do you do? How can you keep students like John on task? What teacher characteristics
would result in a positive outcome for this scenario? What teacher characteristics would impede a successful resolution?
Justify your actions. Scenario 2 You teach a lesson and then give a follow-up worksheet to be completed by all pupils
while you conduct individual student conferences. You are frequently interrupted with questions, and you are unable to
give your undivided attention to specific students during the individual discussion sessions. You find yourself
increasingly angry with the class. What would make this a well-managed classroom? What do you do? Justify your
actions. As you read to your classmates response to the scenarios, consider how their responses are similar or different
from your own. Are their additional perspectives or actions you did not consider? Remember that your goal for the
Discussion Board is three-fold: 1. To participate actively throughout the entire week. 2. To contribute in a way
that adds to the discussion and moves it forward in an original fashion. 3. To use the course content to inform your
posts and responses. Keep in mind that when you post, you should always reference items you cite--be sure to use
APA format for this. Also, be sure to refer back to the rubric as often as you need to during the week. The class is all
about sharing knowledge, so use discussions as a way of creating a community resource for yourself and your
colleagues.
