Classroom Environment (Danielson)

Danielson's framework looks at the teacher's ability to build relationships, manage behavior, and create a positive learning space.

Study Notes

What Makes a Teacher Effective?

  • Motivates, encourages self-esteem, and fosters responsibility in students
  • Effectively addresses differences in language, home situations, abilities, and learning challenges.
  • Prepares lessons, assignments, and materials in advance
  • Customizes teaching methods and assessments to meet students' individual needs
  • Manages classroom disruptions calmly while maintaining student engagement
  • Regularly evaluates and analyzes teaching practices to improve student outcomes

Charlotte Danielson's Framework for Teaching

  • Introduced in 1996, revised in 2013
  • Evaluates 22 components at 4 proficiency levels (Unsatisfactory, Basic, Proficient, Distinguished)
  • Identifies 4 key teaching domains: Planning and Preparation, Classroom Environment, Instruction, and Professional Responsibilities

Core Practices (Teaching Works)

  • Building Relationships: Establishing positive relationships with students and families
  • Classroom Management: Setting clear behavioral norms
  • Explaining and Modeling: Presenting content effectively
  • Leading Discussions: Facilitating productive discussions
  • Eliciting and Interpreting Student Thinking: Encouraging and analyzing student understanding
  • Providing Feedback: Giving actionable and specific feedback
  • Planning and Sequencing Instruction: Designing lessons building on prior knowledge
  • Adapting Lessons: Modifying instruction to meet diverse learning needs
  • Using Assessments: Using formative and summative assessments effectively

Similarities and Differences between Danielson and Teaching Works

  • Both emphasize effective teaching for student learning and outcomes
  • Danielson covers broader teaching aspects, while TeachingWorks focuses on classroom tasks
  • Danielson integrates reflective practices, while TeachingWorks emphasizes immediate, actionable practices
  • Danielson incorporates engagement broadly, whereas, TeachingWorks focuses specifically on instructional techniques.

Challenges for Beginning Teachers

  • Classroom management and maintaining discipline
  • Motivating diverse learners and addressing individual needs
  • Balancing instructional time with administrative tasks
  • Engaging with parents and guardians effectively

Culture and its Role in Education

  • Culture consists of shared values, traditions, knowledge, and behaviors
  • Subtle cultural differences in conversational styles, values about education, or gender roles can influence learning
  • Schools must bridge cultural gaps to promote inclusivity and enhance learning
  • Intersectionality recognizes multiple identities (e.g., race, gender, class, and religion) create unique experiences

Economic and Social Class Differences

  • SES (Socioeconomic Status) influences access to educational resources.
  • Poverty negatively affects health, nutrition, home environments, and access to enriching summer programs, creating a cycle of poverty and affecting educational outcomes.

Gender Roles and Bias

  • From early ages, boys and girls internalize cultural expectations of gender roles, influencing behaviors
  • Cultural expectations are portrayed in curriculum materials and teaching practices, affecting participation and outcomes.
  • LGBTQ+ students face higher risks of bullying and mental health issues.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

  • Scientific approach to understanding and modifying behaviors
  • Focuses on applying learning principles
  • Core elements include behavior specifications, baseline, measurement of behavior, analysis of antecedents, interventions, and evaluating outcomes with ABA design.

Token Reinforcement Systems

  • Uses tangible items (points, stars, stickers) to reinforce desired behaviors
  • Behaviors are defined clearly with a system for exchanging tokens for rewards.

Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)

  • Systematic process to identify challenging behavior causes
  • Analyzes antecedents (triggers), behavior, and consequences.
  • Goal: Determine why behaviors occur and how to reinforce desired behavior.

Positive Behavior Supports (PBS)

  • Proactive approach to managing behavior, fostering positive interactions.
  • Identifies triggers and uses tactics to modify environment and outcomes to reduce challenging behaviors.

Self-Management

  • Helps students monitor, evaluate, and regulate their own behavior
  • Key components: Establishing goals, monitoring progress, and self-reinforcing

Traditional Behavioral Theories

  • Primarily focus on observable behaviors without considering internal processes
  • Bandura's Social Learning Theory emphasizes learning by observing and experiencing consequences.
  • Limitations: Internal processes and emotions are ignored.

Metacognition

  • Awareness and management of cognitive processes.
  • Involves knowledge of declarative (specific information), procedural (how to do things), and self-regulatory knowledge (when to use strategies)

Learning Strategies

  • Procedural knowledge to support goal-oriented tasks.

Motivation to Learn

  • Student's tendency to find academic activities meaningful and worthwhile.
  • Related to deriving personal and educational benefits.
  • Intrinsic motivation comes from internal satisfaction and enjoyment, while extrinsic motivation comes from external rewards or avoiding punishment.

Social Cognitive Theory

  • Combines behavioral principles and cognitive processes (beliefs and expectations)
  • Includes observational learning, self-efficacy, and reciprocal causality.
  • Focuses on how observing others affects behaviors, beliefs, motivations, and performance.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

  • Theory of human motivation highlighting needs from basic to higher-level growth
  • Deficiency needs (physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem) must be met before higher needs.
  • Being needs (cognitive, aesthetic, self-actualization) drive personal growth and fulfillment.

Self-Determination Theory

  • Focuses on three fundamental psychological needs: competence, autonomy, and relatedness
  • This theory emphasizes how our environments impact our internalization of values, goals, and behaviors, which impacts our motivation.

Emotions in Learning

  • Emotions play a significant role in learning and information processing
  • Positive emotions enhance memory and motivation, while negative emotions interfere.
  • Important to create a positive learning environment.

Anxiety

  • Specific form of high arousal that includes fear or negative outcomes
  • This can hinder performance and learning.
