Schools Goals

have the opportunity to take classes that fit their interests and thus keeps them interested and excited about the classes they are taking. I feel if you are constantly there telling them they can do it and that their efforts are worthwhile, they will have the motivation to perform in the classroom. Some of the classes the students take they need to learn by using the 3 R’s and in other classes they need to learn by hands-on work. In turn, they will want to impress you and be successful for you. In terms of achievement, I think that is measured based on the class. In classes such as English, the student should be able to write organized essays or talk in proper sentences. There needs to be a class rule such as raising your hand and being called on to speak so that the student’s don’t start making suggestions or different discussions, in which case the class can lose control and get off track. The student may just have that tough a time comprehending the material and should not be punished for that. Attendance should play a major role in the student’s success. I personally believe giving your best effort is the most important thing in the student’s success. I want to be a physical education teacher and I will be faced with students who don’t have an athletic muscle in their body. In terms of classroom management, I believe the teacher should lay down the law and make sure the students understand he or she is in control when it comes to running the class. If a student is doing bad in a math class and he or she never comes to class, there is no reason he should pass the class. I think the teacher needs to take it upon him or herself to be a leader in the classroom when it comes to motivation.
