...Dakota Gailey, a student at Manson Northwest Webster, says, “Having a study hall would be nice so I could work on my classes, but I do survive without one, since I have not had one throughout my high school years.” Study halls have helped some students, but have hindered others. Over the years, Manson Northwest Webster (MNW) has had a problem with disruptive students who do not pay attention and do not do their work. Teachers at MNW have narrowed the biggest reason for this down to students in study halls. A few years ago in the 2013-14 school year the MNW study hall policy allowed students as many study halls in their schedule as they wanted according to the graduation progress and grades, however, the school board and faculty decided to change...

...Here at Ball State students are offered a plethora of options and opportunities to succeed in their academics. From the writing center, learning center, and office hours, there are multiple ways that a student may succeed here at Ball State. I have been a student athlete now at two different schools and have been here at Ball State for almost a year. I have been mandated to attend study hall hours which are required study hours that are assigned by each student’s academic advisor based on their GPA, or what their coach has recommended. In comparison to my previous school, there a lot more students who are required to complete their study hall hours here at Ball State than at UNCG. Which is why I pose the question, why do student athletes struggle more and what are the factors that influence them? This is why I began to observe these study hall hours to see if I could find any familiar patterns. After a few hours of observing, finding research, interviewing study hall participants, I came to the conclusion that there are many factors that affect student athlete’s academic results and that it starts with the athlete and school culture....

...More study halls, why not? We have study halls but they’re only 15 minutes long, maybe you can finish a chapter in a book or maybe a few math problems but how are you going to get anything done in this short period of time? Longer daily study halls would work great! If you have a assignment that is either late or due, daily study halls would provide time for those certain things! Particularly I think adding a daily study hall to the routine may increase a student's grade! Let alone passing in late or due assignments are a must! Students enjoy the time after lunch to relax and take a quick break, a longer study hall would...

...once said that, “For teachers, going to school must be as much about learning as it is about teaching. They must have time each day to learn, plan lessons, critique student work, and support improvement as members of learning teams…” (p.98). Throughout the school year, teachers have multiple tasks that are part of their daily work schedule. Among the daily work, lesson plans are essential in creating a successful learning environment for students. This is where the role of an instructional coach can be advantageous. The role of a coach is defined “with a narrower remit than mentoring, and relates to specific areas of performance and job outcomes” (Lord, Atkinson, & Mitchell, 2008). Furthermore, coaches that are in of an assistance to a classroom teacher must be able to identify “individual’s strengths and limitations, degree and elements of motivation, work ethic, beliefs, interests, vision, educational background, formative experiences, and professional goals” (Kise, 2006). Therefore, when a teacher is brainstorming a lesson plan, a coach can be a vital role in building teaching effectiveness. Purpose of the Lesson The purpose of this lesson is to build appropriate content concepts and build background knowledge of the unit, “The Gold Rush” in the fourth grade classroom. As part of the fourth-grade social studies curriculum, the teacher will be using the social studies series by incorporating other primary source materials, literature, and realia. The content topics for the Gold...

Instruction in American Classrooms T ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ he reason you’re taking this and other courses in your teacher preparation program is to help you understand American schools, how they attempt to promote student learning, and what teachers can do to contribute to that process. Over the past 25 years a continually expanding body of research has provided educators with a great deal of information about the relationships between teaching and learning. In this chapter we describe this research as we try to answer the following questions: How do effective teachers plan for instruction? What kinds of personal characteristics do effective teachers possess? What kinds of instructional strategies do effective teachers use? How do effective teachers manage their classrooms to create productive learning environments? How do effective teachers assess their students? On what theories of learning do effective teachers base their instruction? Let’s begin by looking at a teacher’s thinking as she plans for her next week’s math instruction. “What are you doing?” Jim Barton asked his wife, Shirley, as he saw her hard at work on a Saturday afternoon cutting and drawing on cardboard pieces. “Working on a unit on equivalent fractions and adding fractions with unlike denominators. . . . What do you think?” she said, grinning at him.“Do they look like pizzas and cakes?” she asked and held...

Copyright © 2005 by Pearson Education, Inc. Learner Diversity Differences in Today’s Students T eachers begin their careers expecting to find classrooms like the ones they experienced when they were students. In some ways classrooms are the same. Students go to school to learn, but they also want to have fun and be with their friends. They expect to work but often need encouragement from their teachers. They’re typical kids. Classrooms are changing, however; the population of our schools is becoming increasingly diverse. Students come from different cultures and speak many different languages at home; they possess a range of abilities and talents; and issues involving differences between boys and girls are receiving increased attention. In this chapter we examine this diversity as we try to answer the following questions: ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ What is cultural diversity, and how does it influence student learning?

...My name is Jordan and I am a freshman at Westminster College. I am an out-ofstate student from Idaho and I plan on having a career in Mechanical Engineer. I came to Westminster College to play for the soccer team and well as for the skiing in the area. I live in Hogle Hall and throughout my experiences living in the dorms I have observed many different things that I have written about. My observations are about the general dorm life, students study habits, setup of college, and roommate relationships at Westminster College. I will discuss these topics in the same order that I observed them, from the first month, to the second month, and then finally to the fourth month, the end of the semester. Dorm Life at Westminster College I have experienced once a month and three days of college. I have observed and analyzed the dorm life at Westminster College and will present my observations that pertain to the overall design of the dorms, the significances of the dorms to students social lives, and the difference in the design of upper classmen to lower classman dorms. The Hogle Hall dormitory is three stories and has a main common room in the middle of every floor. There are dorm rooms all down each side of the hall way and the community restrooms are conveniently located in the first doors down the hall from each of the common rooms, boy’s and girl’s restrooms are on opposite sides of the common room. The doorway, for the only stairwell in the building, is also located in the common...

The workshop was to prepare students with what to expect on the SATs and give them some needed information on why SATs are very important if they want to attend college after high school. We talked about different things that were helpful to the students with preparing for their SAT.

These particular topics are very critical for students to help them try and do their best. Preparation for exams is one of the most effective ways to do their best on their exam. Our introduction...

...prevalence, and effects of school bullying. Bullying is a rising concern that plagues many of our schools. It is important for schools to address the issue of bullying because a vast amount of research has found that it can have a negative effect on students in terms of academic achievement, social and emotional development, and overall life adjustment. There are lots of reasons why students are bullying other students. Sometimes they think, “If they can do that, I can also do that too!” Students may also think that if the members of their group are bullies they need to be too. Sometimes students are afraid that if they were not bully, someone else will bully them. They also become to let out their hurt and anger. Bullying doesn’t involve only those doing the bullying and those being bullied. Bullying also involves and affects the entire school. The 3 main groups that are affected by bullying are the students who are bullied, the students who bully and the bystanders who can see it happen. Students who are bullied can develop physical symptoms like headaches, stomach pains or sleeping problems. They may be afraid to go to school, go to the lavatory. They may also lose their interest in school, have trouble concentrating, or do poorly academically. Bullied students generally lose their confidence. They may experience...

...Ericka Maxa Wilson WR 122 November 13, 2014 Causal Analysis Final Draft Online Classes Have you ever taken an online class? Well, I have and personally I think they are amazing. They work out for people who have to keep a job full time and have the dreams of a college degree, because not everyone can make it to a lecture hall 2 or 3 times a week for lecture. Online classes give you so many opportunities, you can be the mom or dad you want to be, provide for your household, spend quality time with your family, all while you are doing are getting a degree to better yourself. Right now, I am a freshman in college and working part time. Online classes are helping me because when I am getting ready for bed I can crawl into bed, pull out my laptop, and do homework that is due that night or whenever. It gives me the opportunity to keep my job at the hospital and also work on getting a degree for my dream job. In my eyes, online classes are amazing and a true blessing for this world. I know there is a big difference from sitting behind a computer screen and being in a lecture sitting in front of an instructor, but, I believe that the quality is just the same. One major topic going around right now is, is online classes take over and replaces the traditional classroom settings, which are interesting because would we really get rid of all the teachers the United States has? Online classes give more people to opportunity to get the degree that they need or want to better themselves...

No portion of this book may be sold, by any process or technique, without the express consent of the publisher. INTRODUCTION America has come to realize that its national educational system is not reaching enough of its students. Basic skills at the primary levels of school have decreased, as have the standard test scores of high school graduates. In addition, there are 23 million illiterate adults (those whose basic skills are below fifth grade level) and another 35 million semi-literate adults (those whose basic skills are below eighth grade level). Certainly, the educational system alone is not to blame for this problem. Parents and communities must bear some of the responsibility. In reality, poor school achievement has many causes. Family instability can disrupt the support system children need to concentrate on their studies effectively. Single parents are often too busy with routine tasks to deal adequately with their children’s school responsibilities. Students frequently change schools and lose the continuity essential for successful achievement. Many students have jobs after school and feel overwhelmed by required homework. Some teachers give routine, run-of-the-mill assignments, scarcely exciting or stimulating creative thinking. Many educators also neglect to teach students “how to study.” Poor study habits...
