Group Culture and Parent Criticism
This is a recurring small group of students over the course of a semester or year who do not necessarily work on projects together.
What is a base group?
This is knowing what's going on in your classroom.
What is with-it-ness or situational awareness?
This is an appropriate response to a student quietly working on a difficult origami project instead of completing practice problems.
What is ignoring it in the moment and addressing them after the lesson?
An example of this is when a teacher shares their political and religious beliefs, and talks about difficulties in their romantic relationship.
What is almost complete openness?
This is the stage where students look to authority figures to provide structure.
What is dependency or formation?
This is intentionally placing yourself within your classroom to be promote awareness over different areas of a classroom.
What is overlapping?
As a response to Kellen's speaking out of turn, these are the components of an I-Statement.
What is stating the problem behavior, its effect, and (if you choose) your feelings?
These are the four components of a moral education.
What is modeling, dialogue, practice, and confirmation.
This is the stages of a supportive group culture where students need closure on the group experience.
What is termination or adjournment?
Flashing the classroom lights to gain or regain student focus is an example of this.
What is maintaining group focus?
This is what you're doing when you give Sneha a star for turning in homework.
What is positive reinforcement?e
This is the set of actions taken by a teacher, both preventive and corrective, to gain student cooperation in class activities, to maximize student engagement, and learning.
What is classroom management?
This is the extent to which a group experiences a sense of communal identity or oneness.
What is group cohesiveness?
These are three problem categories.
What are fleeting, sustained minor, and disruptive behavior?
This is what you're doing when you remove Jake's detention after he sits quietly during your lesson.
What is negative reinforcement?
These are the components of a no-lose solution.
What is collaboratively defining the problem, generating possible solutions, evaluating potential solutions, picking the best plan, implementing it, and assessing effectiveness?
These are suggestions from a list of eleven practices when responding to parent criticism. (Give at least five.)
What are meeting in a safe place, being pleasant, using active listening, being genuinely interested, presenting as calm and professional, asking what the parent would like to accomplish, setting a time limit, asking parent if they're aware of the problem, being honest and clear, emphasizing data and facts, and telling the parent a specific plan.
This is a behavior that prevents an individual student from their own learning.
What is a student-owned problem?
Bonus question: Why is this a student-owned problem?
This is when you remove something desirable in order to reduce a behavior.
This is when you terminate a previously imposed consequence (either reinforcement or punishment), and expect behavior to return toward baseline.
What is Extinction?
