Ques. 2

Mrs. Estapa's students are incredibly well-behaved  quiet, disciplined, and friendly. They have learned their teacher's rules and procedures and rarely exhibit misbehavior of any kind, though their work is often incomplete or sloppily done. When you observed Mrs. E's class, you noticed that students worked slowly and somewhat apathetically. At lunch one day, you hear another teacher say, That Mrs. Estapa is a genius. I am so impressed by her ability to manage her classroom; I want to learn to monitor the classroom as effectively as she does.. You think to yourself,
 
  a. Now that she has them following her rules consistently, she can begin to work on their motivation..
  b. I want to know what system of incentives she uses; teachers really only get that sort of compliance if they are utilizing a complicated reward system..
  c. Having students comply with your expectations is only half the monitoring battle. Mrs. Estapa seems to be overlooking the fact that student involvement in learning activities is critical to student mastery of new material..
  d. What does it matter how well-behaved students are if they aren't learning anything? I think my classroom, where students misbehave frequently but do enjoy their work is probably a better model of effective monitoring..

  b. Teachers monitor behavior by seating themselves where they can see all students and then make a conscious effort to scan the room frequently, checking each student's behavior and task engagement.
  c. As part of their classroom procedures, teachers make sure students know that they are expected to make eye contact with the teacher regularly; in this way, the teacher knows the student is still aware of his/her authority in the classroom.
  d. Teachers should sneak a peek now and then to make sure that all students are in compliance with rules and procedures.

William is trying to calculate the price of his groceries in his head. He has four apples for 35 each, five potatoes for 15 each, and three cake mixes for 2.25 each. He begins by thinking to himself, Let's see, four times 35 is what? Two times 35 is 70, and then two times 70 is 1.40. And then what do I do next?
