Reichert, Michael C. – Educational Leadership, 2016
Long stereotyped as not being interested in building relationships with teachers, boys actually search for--and are in need of--teachers who make meaningful connections with them, writes Reichert in this article. The author examines how school practices of the past and present have contributed to the so-called gender achievement gap and stresses…

Jung, Lee Ann; Smith, Dominique – Educational Leadership, 2018
Charts that keep (public) track of whether a student's behavior is in some equivalent of a red (problem), yellow, or green ("well-behaved") zone are ubiquitous in elementary schools. This strategy based on shaming students is due to be retired because (1) it promotes only compliance, not social-emotional learning; (2) charts don't teach…

Toshalis, Eric – Educational Leadership, 2015
People tend to misbehave when they find themselves in circumstances that threaten their well-being. When they feel vulnerable, misunderstood, humiliated, or betrayed, they're inclined to act out. Families do it at the dinner table, educators do it in faculty meetings, and students do it in classrooms. Why, then, do teachers often view their…

Tovani, Cris – Educational Leadership, 2014
"When students cheat, we usually feel betrayed, or we blame them for being lazy. Sometimes we even attack their character. But just like many adults, kids who cheat have rational reasons for cheating," writes English teacher Cris Tovani. In this article, she describes three instructional approaches that encourage students to cheat.…

Medoff, Lisa – Educational Leadership, 2016
"Baxter pushed me away every moment that we worked together, He was rude, sarcastic, and often downright mean. He got up and walked away every time I asked him to do something he didn't want to, which was ... everything." That's how Lisa Medoff describes the 4th grade boy whom she tutored twice a week to help him manage his ADHD. Despite…

Boyd, Laurie – Educational Leadership, 2012
In no other area of education is the gulf between teachers and administrators wider than in the area of student discipline. When new teachers cite lack of administrative support as their reason for leaving the profession, what they usually mean is lack of administrative support in handling student misbehavior. When administrators complain to one…

Robison, John Elder – Educational Leadership, 2012
When the author was asked to write an article for this issue about teaching kids with autism, he thought, who better to tell that tale than him? He grew up with undiagnosed autism in the 1960s, so he has a first-person understanding of what it's like. He has also raised a child with Asperger syndrome, so he has seen autism from the parent's point…

Bilmes, Jenna – Educational Leadership, 2012
Ten percent of kindergartners show behavior problems or disrupt their class. This number triples for at-risk children. And children with self-control problems rarely succeed academically. With all a teacher has to accomplish during the kindergarten year, having students who lack the skills to "do school" is a real challenge. Other students are…

Sternberg, Robert J. – Educational Leadership, 2011
Translating ethics knowledge into ethical behavior is much harder than it appears, writes Sternberg. In this article, he outlines an eight-step process that individuals must go through to act in an ethical way--for example, recognizing that there is an event to which to react, taking personal responsibility for generating an ethical solution to…

Benson, Jeffrey – Educational Leadership, 2012
One hundred repetitions--100 "useful" repetitions. This notion has guided the author's work in alternative education programs for almost 20 years, dealing with the most challenging students, from addicts to conduct-disordered adolescents to traumatized 5th graders. There are no magic tricks. The role of educators is to align with the healthy…

Towbin, Jessica – Educational Leadership, 2010
The author, a high school language arts teacher, describes her move to a high-needs urban school after 13 years teaching in predominantly middle-class suburban schools. Unlike her former schools, in which a culture of compliance prevailed, her new school serves students who don't necessarily cooperate unless they see how the curriculum matters to…

Howard, Rebecca Moore; Davies, Laura J. – Educational Leadership, 2009
In an age when students gravitate to online sources for research--and when tremendous amounts of both reputable and questionable information are available online--many have come to regard the Internet itself as a culprit in students' plagiarism. Some teachers go so far as to forbid students from researching online, in the mistaken assumption that…

Carson, Laura; Hoyle, Sharon – Educational Leadership, 1990
Describes a high school teacher's initial frustration with a home economics class's unresponsive attitude concerning a cooperative vocabulary exercise.
