1. The chapter gives many techniques on how to encourage students to learn, but also states that some simply can not be motivated for certain assignments. What is the most professional way to handle these students?
2. In one of the "Truths of Effective Schools", the chapter claims that it is important to spend time with students in "noninstructional ways" (number 3). Aren't we taught to specifically avoid these situations? And if not, where does a teacher draw the line between a personal relationship and a "noninstructional" relationship?
3. The chapter discusses "student accountability" and claims that it is entirely necessary to sometimes call on students to answer questions, even if none volunteer. In the case that no students do volunteer, should the student called on be based on anything in particular?

1. In the section 'Differences Between Management and Discipline' I came across an interesting point about group work. A teacher has a group who needs her attention for further clarity on the work, while a group across the room realizes the teacher is far enough away to be disruptive. How should you go about accomodating both groups?
2. On page 33, the definiton of Overlapping confused me. Doing all three of the tasks at one times seems to be a lot.
3. If you have a student who seems to be having some sort of problem at home, what is the best way to go about looking into the problem?
1. How am I as a teacher going to effect each and every child in my class when there all different and learn in different ways?
2. In the book it says, "Teachers tend to teach in the manner they were taught", But Iv'e been taught so differently from public schools how would I know how to choose which learning style I would teach?

2. What is the best way to motivate students to do work when they do not have any support from their home life?
3. Students learn at different rates. How does a teacher teach to make sure that slow learners comprehend the material without boring the students that understood it the first time around?

1. When it comes to disciplinary actions, what if the students persistently continues to misbehave?
2. How can a teacher get their point across, when teaching foreign students?
3. When the term satiation is used in the classroom, how can the teacher consistently keep up with the students interests every year?
Numero Uno- The book says you should try to teach using every Multiple Intelligence. Won't that slow down teaching so much that you will not be able to cover everything required? (page 8)
