Peer Edit/Review
Today in one of my Teacher Education classes we had a peer review, where we edited another persons lesson. In this lesson there was a column for academic, physical, social and linguistic needs. Well in this column for each activity they were doing in their lesson it said that if the student was not behaving to not allow them to participate in the activity. This was really upsetting and I feel that a lot of regular education teachers do not know how to accommodate these students so they try to eliminate them. I think it is so important for teachers to not eliminate them from the activity but ask the student what they need in order to finish the task without misbehaving. Most of the misbehaving can be avoided if you pay attention to the student and make accommodations for them. Pushing them off to the side of the classroom will not improve their behavior or help them in the future.

I totally agree with you. Sometimes I think that the teachers a just uneducated on the other options there are. I also think that it is a time management issue as well. The teacher may not be able to put the time need into educating themselves on other options. What would be some examples of helping the student? What can the teacher do instead?
ReplyDeleteReally? They suggested cutting options for students struggling to behave within classroom constraints? I'm glad you see the problem with that - this is what causes children to both give up, and to become disruptive to the point of forcing an exit from the room. It usually works for nobody.
