Essay Questions:
1. The definition of teaching in this chapter discusses how a teacher can modify his or her behavior to influence students as it is the only behavior a teacher has control over. Give three examples of different kinds of inappropriate behavior involving interruptions by students in class and discuss how a teacher’s influence can change each.
2. The textbook supports the use of a decision-making hierarchical approach to managing the classroom. Discuss the pros and cons to such an approach.
3. Write a scenario of a typical classroom where only a few of the 30 students participate in classroom discussions and, when they do so, they give very short answers. Then, in the next paragraph, discuss four ways a teacher can turn this situation around so most students will be raising their hands to participate, and do so with more detailed and well thought-out answers.
4. Look at the list of student behaviors on page 42 in Chapter 2 of the textbook. Choose 10 of these behaviors and give at least one type of “wrong” behavior a teacher may be employing that might make student misbehavior increase.
