Reflection Paper 7

In the article, Teaching For Inclusion I learned a lot about how teachers should act in their first meeting with their students and also talk about the diversity of students. This article also tells you what should be in a teacher handbook while teaching an individual. For example, the teacher should consider all the diversity issues like ethnicity, sexual orientation, learning and physical disabilities. In addition, the teacher should take interest in the student experiences, interests, beliefs, and goals in order to make the student have a more successful life in college. Understanding your students, make your students understand you and making them feel comfortable in the classroom should be a teacher’s priority. But no matter how hard a teacher might try to make his or her students successful, you will always find students that are undecided about their choices in life and that will go to college just to learn or just to pass the time even though they do not have any objectives. The only things you could do it is always try to teach them the best of your knowledge because there will always be some students interested in what you have to teach. As a teacher you have to make sure that the classroom atmosphere is convenient for your and the students and that you set rules for the students and make sure that you are the one controlling the classroom. Because there are some students that will try to take advantages of any opportunities to get your power out of hand, if you do not keep your control and stability over the students. Teaching is not easy and control the students could be the worst that is why knowing your students, having rules and controlling the classroom is the most important in teaching students.
