This was a very limited sampling, albiet with a very specific focus group. All of students were regular education students between the ages of eight and thireen years old. (Wilson-Jones & Caston, 2004, p.1)
The study asked what influenced this group of student's success and commitment to school? The interviewers concluded that the collective societal influence of school and home was key in fostering the children's desire to learn. While other factors were also influential, such as the relative literacy level of the primary caretakers of the child, overall peer and parental attitude to learning, and the willingness to foster such learning in social as well as individual classroom environments played a key factor in student success. The study was said to reinforce findings of the book Black Children: Their Roots, Culture and Learning Styles (Hale-Benson 1982) that indicated that students of color have unique cognitive and learning styles from those of other cultures.
However, culture may not...
African-American males, even as young as the children of the study, may find themselves forced to chose beteween social validation by their peers and academic validation by society. Collective learning makes use of the cognitive stage of development for elementary school children where peer approval is all-important, and deploys it in such a fashion to reinforce the learning process. The limited study provokes challenging questions of how race affects childhood development, and while not conclusive, is a powerful suggestion as to how to deal with students experiencing a conflict between socialization and making a commitment to academics.

Hence, variables that occur outside of the classroom have an impact on the teacher's ability to institute positive behavior support (PBS). That makes it all the more vital that strategies are in place in the classroom designed to deal with all setting events, distant and recent, when possible. Body of Paper -- Distant Setting Events & Antecedents How do antecedents effect the behavior of students? Antecedents have a tendency to either
Behavior Management Lee Canter's theory on classroom discipline is designed to accomplish two primary objectives: 1) Increase teachers' efficiency when dealing with student disruption, and 2) to reduce incidences of unacceptable behavior by students by providing proactive instruction about expected student behavior (Burden, 2003). Canter recommends a three-step cycle of behavior management to increase the positive behavior of students and ensure a productive learning environment. The three-steps of the positive behavior
Teaching & Reinforcing Your Procedures: clear and thoughtful plan for how to teach and reinforce procedures that includes an explanation for why the learner expects their plan to be effective with his or her student populationTeaching, particularly in the United States, has come under much scrutiny. Here, poor academic performance relative to other countries has caused much more scrutiny of K through 12 institutions. Likewise, the disparity between the overall
Identifying whether previous punishments have reinforced the behavior would also be important to design an appropriate punishment strategy. Question Fostering Positive Relationships with Students Developing a close relationship with children is associated with improving the positive outcomes of that relationship (Birch & Ladd, 1997). This indicates that as a school psychologist every effort should be made to develop a close relationship with each and every student. While it is acknowledged that this
School Legal Entanglement Plan This Legal Entanglement Plan seeks to examine the policies, programs, strategies, and practices of a particular school with respect to its moral, legal, and ethical implications. The plan is developed based on a three-step process that will help in addressing the issue that could potentially become a liability or legal entanglement if left unaddressed. The plan will help in addressing the issue since it will be communicated
She is having a problem with a student, Cary Kirby, who arrives each day without any of the required reading materials. Mrs. Cansler feels like she is in a Catch-22 situation. If she sends Cary back to his locker, she wastes class time; if she does not, Cary cannot do his work. Analysis -- Assertive discipline is a behavioral approach to home and classroom management that involves a high level
