Ohio’s Educator Standard one is one of the most important educator standards that a teacher should become familiar with and follow because it is the bases of how students learn. You cannot expect a chef to make dinner without them first knowing how to follow a recipe or use a range. The same principle goes for the students in our classes. You must understand child development for the age you are teaching and show respect for all the differences your students’ exhibit in order to help everyone grow and meet learning expectations. Sub-Standard 1.1 states that teachers should display knowledge of how students learn and of the development of characteristics of age groups (OES 1). Teachers should use this sub-standard as a bases of how they are going to present and teach content. I currently teach preschool and understand that before I can expect a child to hold a pencil or hold scissors correctly I must first provide learning activities to help my students …show more content…
Because of these new attitudes and self-awareness fourth and fifth grade teachers have to help build confidence in their students so they can achieve to the best of their ability. Apter (2006) believes one of the ways teachers can do this is by showing students how to deal with failure and success. When my daughter was in these grades her teachers allowed students to retake any test they failed. The student had to approach the teacher about retesting. At the time I didn’t understand why they allowed students to do this but now I understand they were building students’ confidence while teaching students how to handle failure and reach their full potential. I want to make sure I am always meeting Ohio Educator Standard one in my daily teaching practices so my students will know that I am there for them and have high expectations so they can meet their fullest
The School Resource officer program provides the use of trained full-time Police Officers who will work within the educational system. The objectives of the School Recourse Officer Program is to promote and assist schools in providing a safe learning environment which will also improve relationships between law enforcement and the youth of today. The program attempts to promote a better understanding of the Law Enforcement Officers' role in society while educating students, parents, school personnel, and the community on important issues such as gangs, violent crime, drugs, and other related topics. The program also provides a positive role model in the educational system. The Primary focus of this program is
In order for reflective communities of practice to work as a major component of teacher preparation programs, there must be well-crafted activities that serve to bridge the space between the theory and the praxis of teaching. Teacher candidates must be allowed to become culturally responsive and sustaining teachers in ways that are as authentic as possible, without the threat of putting vulnerable students in harm’s way. The work that some teacher preparation programs have been doing to approximate the work of teaching for teacher candidates is very ripe for exploration.
Teachers in Tennessee are given a set of standards to teach young children. The standards are a crucial aspect of curriculum because they drive what students must know. Therefore, it is important that all teacher candidates have a clear understanding of the standards before going out into the field. The standards were created in a particular fashion for each grade level and subject area.
According to the Common Core website, Common Core State Standards Curriculum is a set of high quality academic standards for kindergarten through twelfth grade in math, English language, and literature (“About the Standards”). Through the Common Core State Standards, the public education system has over-stepped its bounds. One way the education system has done this is through entering the homeschool and private school systems. Another way the public education system has overstepped its bounds is by placing the Common Core Curriculum in the Advance Placement and college placement exams. Also, the Common Core State Standards reduce education for gifted students. One way the program does this is by not providing the intellectual challenges that these students need. An additional way is that the Common Core Curriculum is so expensive that schools cannot afford to have supplementary learning for gifted students. Finally, the Common Core State Standard leaves students unprepared for college. One way Common Core Standards leaves students unprepared is that the Common Core aligned college placement tests hurt students in the college admittance process. Additionally, Common Core curriculum does not prepare students for college-level classes. Common Core State Standard Curriculum should be rejected from the public school system because the public education system has over-reached its boundaries, it reduces the education for gifted students, and it leaves students unprepared for
If schools are not safe, students will not find themselves in an environment in which they can learn. Studies show that crime and its related problems create an unfavorable environment for academic success. Before the 1990s the custom of assigning sworn police officers to serve in schools on a full-time basis was uncommon. However, over the last couple of decades, the number of police officers serving schools increased substantially, however few studies of police officers in schools, commonly known as school resource officers, have been conducted and little attention has been devoted to understanding the role of school resource officers. I have over thirty years in law enforcement, most of them in leadership positions. My desire in obtaining
It is not only my job as a teacher to know the content I am supposed to teach but to use my knowledge of the content to develop lessons plans and instruction for my students (OES 2.1) For me this sub-standard calls for me to look at the bigger picture of what I want my students to learn and not just each individual content standard by itself. I have my Ohio Early Learning and Developmental Standards unpacked into big ideas. The big ideas allows me plan and design my lesson plans based off the bigger concept of what my preschool students need to be able to do. I think I would need to develop the same concepts if I taught fourth or fifth grade math. From the discussion board, many of my fellow teachers have discussed how using the backward
Regardless of the years of athletic experience among a team of coaches and teachers, an active training program will help staff members to stay informed about the psychological dimensions of student athletes; thereby applying the first tenet of SLT. Smith and Smoll examined the effects of providing positive athletic setting resulting in a 30-5% reduction in athlete dropout rates. I appreciate the fact these results were equally positive among both boy and girl teams, because its success gives credence to the need to provide Teachers and coaches with training to mold their own behavior first in creating positive settings. Training should cover good work ethic and commitment to students and program; respect for the

Data on program graduates is collected from two post-graduation surveys. The surveys seek preparation and performance information from the program graduates, on a self-reflection survey, and from their administrator at the current school of employment (e.g., the Employer Education Follow-up Survey and Employee Education Follow-up Survey) (Exhibits 1.3c/1.4c and 2.3d). Both surveys are aligned to the units Conceptual Framework and contain 15 indicators for response plus an open section for recommendations for departmental program improvement. Although Elementary Education Program data results showed data results specific to its program, all of the Secondary Programs’ data is all-inclusive for both the Employer Education Follow-up Survey and Employee Education Follow-up Survey for 2011-2014.

This standard is in relations to the teacher being an example of leadership in the classroom providing order, having ethical standards, demonstrating to the children what a leader looks like, being professional, and recommending the school and students to outside sources. This standard is important to for a teacher to adhere to because if there is no leadership in a classroom, it can easily turn into a chaotic scene. Students are with their teachers for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, a teacher is a very important role model to their students. If a teacher is not a leader in the classroom, then their students will not learn the importance of being a leader and their behavior will plummet without the proper leadership they need while at school. An example of leadership in a classroom would be having a healthy and interpersonal relationship between the student and teacher. There needs to be a healthy balance of rules and fun when in the classroom. A teacher can also show leadership by showing the children respect, having patience when working with the students, and encouraging their students every chance they get.
Such teachers respond to “failure as a challenge, requiring the students to redo failed work (with individualized help from the teachers as needed) rather than writing the students off or referring them to remedial classes” (Brophy, 1983, p. 642). Showing all students that they are capable of completing a difficult task, regardless of how long it may take them to grasp it, is the best way to instill a sense of personal responsibility.
Current reforms and initiatives based on the national education standards focus on student’s achievement and teacher’s preparation. Educational researchers and curriculum designers continuously find problems with standards and requirements on a state level and how the state and local boards of education focus highly on advanced placement and cultural literacy. A key focus is also accountability for students, schools, and school-districts in regards to academic performance. A new factor that has surfaced is school choice (charter schools and home schooling) and character development. Progressive teachers are able to guide learners to new experiences in every lesson. However; they are sensitive to unique and different learning styles which
Although no one disputes the value of education, how the country should improve it is fiercely contested. Every few years, along comes a new idea to save American schools, be it enforcing standards, opening charter schools, providing vouchers for private education, or paying teachers based on their performance. The truth is that no plan can save the american education system, its the people within it that need to change. At the start of elementary school, students have a desire to succeed in school and be the best student they can be. Somewhere along the journey of school, many students lose this desire and become bad students. As youth, we plan to meet and ever exceed the expectations that are set upon us. Over the years however, we began to realize that we can do the bare minimum and still meet expectations. We are more worried about our grades and meeting expectations for some award, than we are about the knowledge we all have an opportunity to gain. This is where the problems all start. In order for us to change the way our education system is heading, our students have to regain their passion and desire to learn and exceed the expectations put upon them. When we receive our awful results on our test, it is easy to blame our teachers. The truth is more times than not our teachers are hard working individuals (like beth mcdaniel) that just can’t seem to make the students care about their academic performance. It has gotten to the point where high
