Document Summary
What are the official duties of a teacher? (education act 1990) I really hope this is posted: generally all-encompassing. 100 years ago: a teacher"s character was judged more than their ability to teach, rewarded for being perfect 1915 (wisconsin: cannot dye your hair, dress in bright colours -> addressed to women. Aggressive: classroom environment -> goes into the hallway; place him by the door so he could explode outside. Maybe have a designated spot -> give them an object to play with to distract them until they can bring their anger down. If they do something good for 15 minutes, they get something they like (blocks, computers, etc. ) Then extend to a half hour slot: give them more responsibility within the classroom, teacher needs to have an understanding of what is going to trigger the child"s behaviour. Sometimes, it"s lights -> maybe have reading corner with soft lights -> need calming effects. Trickling fountains -> also incites calmness; aquariums.
