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…

    Health And Social Care Level 3 Unit 2 P3

    The students were encouraged to ask each other questions as well as add to and challenge the answers provided by others. I utilized this opportunity to move students, as I seen fit, when formulating these groups. This allowed me to unite the lower ability student with the higher ability student. I felt this coming together greater impacted on the overall development of the students social skills. It gave the lower ability student confidence to offer an answer up to the teacher for consideration knowing that what she is about to say is coherent, having came to its conclusion with another student. I praised the good that she attempted to do and tried to ignore what wrong she does, in the hope that praise becomes a goal and provided her with motivation for further appropriate behaviour and…

    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…

    “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. This development starts even as young as elementary students. Michael Gallagher…

    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.…

    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.…
