Classroom ManagementSecondary SchoolYou are a teacher with six sections of approximately 20 students each. In all of these sections, the students differ greatly in their academic and social skill levels.Some of the students seem to immediately grasp the subject matter, others seem to understand the material part of the time, and others never seem to understand thematerial. Alex continually talks loudly out of turn and off topic, and spends class time flirting with girls. Liz does not stay in her seat and wanders around the roomdistracting other students. Often when Liz starts wandering, you notice several other students will do the same. James can get out of control (although notfrequently), shouting profanities at other students or you and refusing to participate in class. Tasha constantly demands your attention to confirm that she is doingher work correctly. Usually, Wilson barely talks in class, but when you discussed yesterdays topic he became enthusiastic and more engaged.Requirements:

(I desire to teach 6 grade)Scenario 1:Ms. Smith is a teacher with a class of 20 students who vary greatly in their academic and social skill levels. Some of the students are very good in all subjects, someare good in mathematics but do not read well, others are good readers but do not do as well in mathematics, and a few are struggling with everything. Because Ms. Smithhas had problems in the past with students not completing homework on time or thoroughly, she has developed the following procedures to which she strictly adheres.At the beginning of the year, she verbally explains her homework policy. She also gives her students handouts for themselves and for their parents with all theinformation explained. Throughout the year, when students are not following the policies, she refers them back to the handout.She has a section of the whiteboard devoted to homework information. On this section, she details exactly what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, how manypoints it is worth, and any other pertinent information. She expects students to read and understand this without devoting class time to it.All homework assignments must be put into the inbox on the right-hand side of her desk at the beginning of class. All late assignments without acceptable excuses have5% deducted for each day late. The only excuses accepted are notes from parents or doctors with legitimate reasons for why the student could not have done thehomework. Then, the new due date is up to the discretion of the teacher. Typically, a one- or two-day extension is granted.All graded homework assignments must be picked up from the graded homework basket on the left-hand side of her desk at the beginning of class. This is theresponsibility of every student. If graded assignments are not picked up within two days, Ms. Smith takes them out of the graded homework basket, and students must askher for them after class.If students believe a mistake has been made in the grading of any assignment or exam, they may make a formal appeal. They have two class sessions after they get theirwork back to submit an appeal. The appeal should consist of a sentence or two explaining why they believe their answer is correct, and they must support this with thetextbook, notes, or other reasoning. The original answer must be stapled to the back of the grade appeal.A. Discuss how a homework policy from above (1 page) promotes best practices by doing the following:
1. Explain how the policy encourages positive social interaction in the classroom for your desired grade level.
2. Explain how the policy encourages self-motivation in the classroom for your desired grade level.
3. Explain how the policy encourages active engagement in the classroom for your desired grade level.
4. Include two sources to support your discussion.
