Scenarios to respond to:
1. One of the problems that I faced while completing my tutoring hours was dealing with the “trouble makers”. In one class I was in the children would get warnings I assume, but eventually, the teacher made them sit on the other side of the room and face the wall for the rest of the entire lesson. I was so confused as to whether or not this was the best way to discipline the child for acting up. The kids in this class are all about eight years old (third grade) and are still young. So when I took them into the library and the same student was acting up, I decided to just talk to him about his behavior, which seemed to solve the problem, however only temporarily. So does that show my cooperating teacher up? What should I do?
2.What would you do? How would you respond to this student? (You don’t have to agree with this teacher’s response, or even like it. Just post how you might handle something like this piece (https://mashable.com/2015/08/12/teacher-email-response/?utm_cid=mash-com-fb-main-link)
3. Im an instructional aide at an elementary school; I work with two other women in one classroom. Were separated by partitions; were in cubicles. My problems are with one of my coworkers-she does whatever she wants. While Im helping my kids, shell be with her kids but,shell invite her friend over and theyll gossip very loudly. Its as if she doesnt care that we arethere trying to teach our students. Not only will she invite her friend over; she also wears a Bluetooth ear piece and will answer her phone even when she has children and is supposed to be teaching them. Im fairly new to this classroom and, if I say something shell know it was me that told. I dont want to cause problems but, I also want to work peacefully and want my children to learn. How can I fix this situation without causing problems within my workplace?
4.I have been doing my tutoring in a 1st-grade classroom with a teacher who I feel like I have learned a lot. In the beginning I thought she was really great but pretty quickly I started to see some areas that concerned me in the way she treated the students and the way she acted. From the moment she would greet the students in the morning, she would immediately be impatient with them. Whenever I walked into the room in the mornings and we talked, there was always something wrong, she didnt want to be there, or she was dreading what fiasco the students were going to bring upon the day. It bummed me out to see her negative outlook and she would always say that I was so optimistic about teaching but that it would quickly die down after my first year or two of teaching but I really hope that is never the case and I hope I am never that impatient with my students. I could tell the students were immediately discouraged by her impatience with them and she would say things to me across the room like What is wrong with todays generation? My students never used to be like this out loud for her students to hear. It always bugged me but I never felt like I had the right to say anything. I just ended all of my hours in this classroom and I cant help but think I should have said something for the students sake. Would you have said something to anything? If not, would you have had any other kind of approach or just let it be?
5. One of the teachers I worked with didn’t really have a connection with her students. The classroom didn’t have a working sharpener so I had to grab a handheld one and sharpen a distressed student’s pencil as she was already behind. The pencil kept breaking and breaking and I realized she was using a cheap pencil as well. I brought it up to the teacher and she shrugged it off and just said, “oh yeah, we used to have a good sharper but it broke. I just haven’t gotten around to it yet,” like no big deal. There are students that don’t even know how to write numbers because they don’t know what those numbers look like. It’s no wonder they’re behind in math. A large number of students are behind in their material. I’ve thought of bringing in pencils and sharpeners myself for the students but didn’t because I didn’t want to disrespect the teacher. My question: What would you do?
6. I am tutoring a student from Afghanistan, even though he is a very smart kid his English is limited so I have been focusing on teaching him the letters’ sounds and reading. The problem is when that he started getting bored and now wants to do the same activities as his classmates, I know if his English was better he would be perfectly fine to performed these tasks, but it isn’t. What would you do in this situation?I know he is eager to learn but he needs to understand English before jumping into the class’ activities.
7. While the students were practicing their sight words on a whiteboard the student kept interrupting the teacher she told him to sit in the back table and that I would be helping him. While I was trying to help him he kept say this is stupid and even yelled it at one point. He would refuse to write the words with the dry eraser and when I tried to help him he would say that I ruined it. At one point he kicked a chair at me and walked away. His teacher was clearly upset and I tried to get him to sit down the only way he seemed to want to get work done was if
helped him write the sight words. He seemed overly concerned about making sure the words were written perfectly so he spent a majority of time erasing which then he expected me to help him over and over again. If I tried to have him do it on his own he would begin yelling I cant and that it was stupid. It was a real eye opener and questioned my ability of teaching. The teacher was pretty passive about it and said this was the reality of teaching. Should I have approached
this situation differently?
PLEASE ANSWER THEM IN SIMPLE WORDS because my teacher knows that I’m not good at English and answer them in a few sentences AND THINK IF YOU ARE IN THESE SITUATIONS.
