Once a teacher applies for and receives a job at a school, they receive a teaching contract. A teaching contract is a written agreement between the school system and the teacher and serves as a legal document identifying the roles and responsibilities for the teaching position.
I understand the importance of the contracts as even working as a paraprofessional in the past I have to sign a contract as well that had all my responsibilities that the job entitled.
all children within a state’s jurisdiction, whether legal or illegal, have the right to a public education, if a public education is provided by the state.
I agree with this, all children should have the opportunity to an education regardless of their birthplace.
But if you go into a classroom, you may notice a teacher calling on a shy student and not calling on another student who usually dominates the discussion. Is this equal? The teacher is clearly treating the two students differently.
personally I hated being called out because I didn't want to feel dumb if I answered the question incorrectly. I remember avoiding eye contact or pretended to look at notes or reread the passage so that wouldn't be called on. Now I believe some teacher do this to help build the confidence of those being shy.
Depending on the teacher’s interpretation, she might believe that she should not report the student for cheating because it would impact his grade point average and cause more stress for his mother.
This is a tough situation to be in teachers always have bonds with their students and often don't want to ruin that. But cheating is not something to ignore as it could have bad consequences in the long run if not addresses.
The teacher works with others to create environments that support individual and collaborative learning, and that encourage positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation
These four things are very important, creating a space where students feel encouraged and and engaged into their learning.
