Thank you for your commitment to excellence and let us know if you have any questions regarding this assignment. _______________________________________________________________

This assignment requires you to read an excerpt from Discipline with Dignity, Chapter One (Curwin, Mendler, & Mendler, 2018).

Assignment Directions:

Review the three scenarios and propose a solution for two of your choice. In doing so, attribute at least one underlying core belief with a thorough explanation. For the same scenario, identify the basic principle reflected in your choice of action. Your response must demonstrate understanding of the text. (Reminder: do not repeat a core belief or basic principle, once used).

1-. You already modified lesson plans to include in-class, small team assignments. Now you notice a disengaged student refusing to work while her partners are working through the problem. After asking her if something is wrong, she replies that group work is a “waste of time” and thinks that “teachers should actually teach during class.” How would you handle this situation? Be specific in terms of what you would do and say. Use the chapter to support your answer (core belief and underlying principle).

2-James seems to have a chip on his shoulder. His comments in class often sound defiant and hostile. When Rashad dropped his book, James kicked it across the room. Rashad told James to get it, and a confrontation almost ensued. Even his nonverbal behavior seems contentious (looks of contempt, etc). How would you handle this situation? Be specific in terms of what you would do and say. Use the chapter to support your answer (core belief and underlying principle).

3-Despite your best efforts, a student is not only late to class each day, but comes in and interrupts instruction. This not only sets back his learning, but also that of his peers. In fact, it seems intentional. You see him arrive early each morning and prompt him to be in class on time. How would you handle this situation? Be specific in terms of what you would do and say. Use the chapter to support your answer (core belief and underlying principle).

Use the reading and your developing philosophy of teaching to frame your responses in a word document. (Guideline 200-400 words)

We look forward to reviewing your response.
