Ms. Greyson teaches freshman English and enjoys positive relationships with her students. She uses the following strategies and skills in her teaching:
  She shows respect for students and addresses them by name. She speaks politely and uses please and thank you when she calls on them during class discussions. She uses interactive teaching strategies that encourage all students to participate. Many of her tasks involve group work, and she avoids competitive tasks. She uses encouragement to help students persevere with difficult tasks, and she does not use insults or putdowns at any time. With writing assignments, she uses portfolio assessment and helps students appreciate the progress they make during the year.
 
  Addressing all aspects of Ms. Greyson's teaching (as described in this question), explain the effects of Ms. Greyson's strategies and skills on her students' self-concepts.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Ques. 2

Robyn is meeting her teachers on the first day of fifth grade. Based on questions they asked her, which one of Robyn's teachers seems to understand appropriateness of the use of labels and language associated with differences in abilities and disabilities?

  b. How does being handicapped affect your day at school?

Ques. 3

Mr. Cooke teaches the fourth grade and expects his students to show a high level of independence about completing assignments, following procedures, and keeping up with homework and other daily responsibilities. School started two months ago, and Mr. Cooke is becoming increasingly frustrated with Teagan and her unwillingness to stick with difficult tasks. Teagan does not take risks or accept challenges. She prefers to work on assignments that are easy, and she stops when she faces a challenge. Rather than asking for help, she either turns in an incomplete assignment or hides it in her desk. During group work, she seldom speaks up and only wants to fill roles that are easy for her. She is intellectually capable of succeeding academically, but she is not successfully resolving the developmental crisis of her current stage of psychosocial development.
 
  Using Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, describe the developmental crisis Teagan must resolve. Suggest strategies Mr.
 
  Cooke might use to help Teagan resolve the crisis productively.

Ques. 4

Mrs. Berry teaches fifth grade in an inner city school. The students in the district have not performed well on standardized tests and the school board is proposing changes in order to increase the amount of academic time students spend in the classroom. If the changes are approved, Mrs. Berry's fifth graders will no longer have a recess during the school day. Mrs. Berry has researched this matter and wants to address the school board.
 
  What points might she make from her research that are likely to influence the board's decision?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

  c. Moral values include loyalty, authority, sanctity, and liberty.

Answer to #1

Suggested Response: Ms. Greyson realizes that high performance in a subject leads to a high self-concept in that area and also promotes positive overall self-concept. She also realizes that students gauge their judgments of themselves on the basis of the verbal and nonverbal reactions of significant people such as teachers.
 Ms. Greyson's positive relationships with her students help her students build positive concepts. She treats them with respect and speaks politely to them. These behaviors are likely to help students respect themselves and feel worthy of courteous treatment.
 Ms. Greyson's interactive teaching and encouraging all students to participate most likely show students that she wants them to learn and believes they are capable of contributing to the class.
 Her use of group work provides opportunities for building positive self-concepts. Students are more likely to speak up in small groups and demonstrate prosocial behaviors that lead to higher self-concepts. They are cooperating rather than competing. They are less likely to feel that their individual efforts are being judged in comparison to efforts of others in the class.
 Ms. Greyson's use of portfolios is an effective strategy for helping students see their progress over time and feel good about their learning. This approach helps them develop a positive self-concept about writing.

Answer to #3

Suggested Response: Teagan is in the fourth stage of psychosocial development, the stage in which she needs to resolve the developmental crisis of industry versus inferiority. To resolve the crisis productively, she needs to handle the academic demands of school, including perseverance with difficult tasks. She needs to understand that she will not continue to learn unless she faces challenges and takes risks. In her thinking, she is avoiding failure. She needs to recognize that her strategy actually results in failure.
According to Erikson, students at this stage must master new skills and work toward new goals. They are being compared to others and have a greater awareness of the risk of failure. Mr. Cooke might take the following steps:
 Help Teagan set realistic learning goals. Mr. Cooke might begin by dividing assignments into smaller tasks and encouraging Teagan to set goals for completing small tasks and moving on to larger tasks.
 Help Teagan experience successes. Trying new skills has intimidated Teagan. As she achieves successes with new skills, she is more likely to show willingness to take risks. As she takes risks and discovers that she has the ability to master new skills, she is more likely to persevere when tasks are difficult.
 Encourage Teagan to ask for help. If Teagan follows procedures for getting help, she is more likely to keep trying rather than giving up.

Answer to #4

Suggested Response: Mrs. Berry should make the point that there are academic reasons for children to have recess and opportunities for exercise. Physical activity affects cognitive development. Research studies support the conclusion that systematic exercise programs may actually enhance the development of specific types of mental processing known to be important for meeting challenges encountered both in academics and throughout the lifespan.
Based on such studies, Mrs. Berry should point out the need for children to develop an active lifestyle while they are young and maintain it throughout life. Mrs. Berry should also point out that these inner city children typically lack opportunities to play outside and get exercise. She may further point out the growing problem of obesity among children.
Mrs. Berry should also tell the board about studies indicating that students are better behaved in the classroom if they have at least 15 minutes of recess every day.
