and now that I have some insight about it I am going to bring it back to my practicum, and talk
about different types of strategies to use with my cooperating teacher to assist the English
language learner in the class.
Having high expectations for students play an important role in the learning process. The
higher the expectations and support for learning are the higher the results will be. If teachers
provide a positive leaning environment, it will motivate the students to do their best. Teachers
convince the students that having these high goals are possible. Incorporating different aspects
into the curriculum is critical (Kauchak & Eggen, 2008).

Learning how to control feelings and
different types of relationships establish a type of emotional intelligence, this allows people to be
effective (Burbules & Raybeck, 2014).
Emotions are oftentimes thought of as being irrational feelings that are not in our control.
Although, emotions are a complex part of our minds that consist of different reactions to
situations that will either be taken care of or just put on the back burner (Burbules &
Raybeck, 2014). People can understand an event as being sad, happy or somewhere in the
middle. When faced with emotions physically a sad situation might deal with some tears, or a
happy situation would leave someone with a great upbeat feeling and a smile on their face.
Oftentimes people may try and find comfort when they are, sad or run to find help when faced
with a dangerous situation. It is very vital to identify the significant link between actions,
emotions, and thoughts (Burbules & Raybeck, 2014).
Furthermore, it is important to have the students understand that having these different
types of emotions are a normal thing, but it can always be managed to a point (Burbules …show more content…

aside time to practice. The saying of practice makes perfect will always come into play, I believe
that when students put forth the effort, they can achieve anything. An important point
contributing to the student’s progression often deals with whether the student wants to do it
(Burbules & Raybeck, 2014). There have been times in my practicum where students just did not
want to participate and just sat in the class doing absolutely nothing. By letting the students write
for example, about whatever they wanted I noticed had the students more engaged and wanting
to do the writing piece. Also, I noticed that when the students were taken out of the classroom for
their private help sessions, they were forced to focus on writing and only writing. I let the
students write about whatever they wanted and this is when I saw what the students were truly
capable
