Ms. Kaplan is a new fourth grade teacher who feels passionate about helping students learn. She is teaching in a poverty-stricke
n area of Houston and knows that many of the students receive little academic support and encouragement at home. Its the fourth week of school, and she feels good about the way her class is progressing, learning routines, and meeting her expectations. Today she entered the teachers lounge and heard two other teachers talking about Michael, one of her African American students. When she entered, they told her they had taught Michael in second and third grades. They warned her that Michael would cause trouble, fail to complete his work, and distract other children. They described Michaels poor academic performance and said his mom doesnot support the teachers efforts. After Ms. Kaplans experience in the teachers lounge, consider the possible dilemmas that might arise regarding her expectations of Michael. Describe common negative effects that might occur and explain how Ms. Kaplan might prevent such effects.
i feel that the students in that class will start disrespecting her not following rules and will eventually Stop following the expectations, Michaels parents will not respect her order of authority and will most likely go against what she says
