Curriculum-based Measure 5-EDU 415/615—Managing Teaching and Learning
- A teacher working with a student who struggles with English in her classroom gives her a failing grade because “she couldn’t understand terms or understand the reading”. However, the teacher spent many hours getting to know the student and learning about her journey to this country and it resulted in the student feeling safe in the classroom. This teacher behavior is an example of
- Fairness
- Welcoming
- Enforcing high academic standards
- All of the above
- In the above scenario, assume that the student struggling with English is Latina (specifically, Mexican immigrant) and the teacher is Mexican-American. Regarding cultural literacy as described in Weinstein (2015), the teacher’s approach would be an example of a(n)
- Neutral effect for cultural knowledge to inform instruction
- Significant understanding of the student’s educational background
- Error in beliefs, values, and assumptions influenced by socio-cultural identity
- Significant understanding of the students family background
- A student with a disability is placed in cooperative learning group with three other peers and is promptly dubbed the “clean-up” director for the group because he is very interested in contributing to the group. Assuming that this task is inappropriate, this assignment is most specifically a violation of which following concept of cooperative learning:
- Status treatment
- Positive Interdependence
- Individual accountability
- Heterogeneous grouping
- If you were the teacher, what approach would you take to rectify this situation?
- Special tutoring for the student
- Role reversal among the group
- Attribution re-training for the student
- Rotation of roles in the group
- An “active learning opportunity” according to Cooper (2013) is an example of
- Connective instruction
- Providing cooperative learning
- Academic Rigor
- Lively teaching
- In relation to Furrer, et al (2014) “motivational resilience” affects which part of the system of motivational development:
- Context
- Self
- Action
- Outcome
- A student who exhibits problem behavior because s/he never learned the appropriate way to demonstrate a behavior is said to exhibit a
- Performance deficit
- A knowledge difficulty
- A learning difficulty
- A skill deficit
- A student who has been observed previously to engage in appropriate behavior for a specific setting but decides not to demonstrate it in a specific situation is said to exhibit a
- Performance deficit
- A knowledge difficulty
- A learning difficulty
- A skill deficit
- Aside from reducing confusion, a major benefit of establishing a clear “classroom routine” is
- Minimizing loss of instructional time
- Clear expectations for student behavior
- Minimizing time to manage student behavior
- Maximizing students’ appropriate social behavior
- According to Weinstein (2015) a useful sequence for explaining classroom rules and expectations is to present the
- Rationale-rule-example-consequence
- Rule-rationale-example-consequence
- Consequence-example-rule-rationale
- Rule-example-consequence-rationale
- For Diel & McFarland (2012), the composition of a classroom (students and teachers) and the roles they play are
- Essential to establishing routine and ritual toward classroom order
- Related to the classroom’s multidimensionality and situated participation framework
- Irrespective of the more important notions of routine and ritual
- Dependent on the nature of the teacher in relation to one’s students
- According to Shook (2012), preservice teachers
- Engage in proactive strategies for managing rules and routines in a classroom
- React badly to problem behaviors
- Rely primarily on proactive strategies for negative student behavior
- Rely primarily on reactive strategies for negative student behavior
