Please reply to all discussion boardsPart 1undefinedI completed and reflected on Fuller’s Concern Checklist. The category I was the most concerned about was the Impact category, then was the Self category, and finally the Task category. Knowing that Impact is the area of the most concern it can affect my ability in the classroom because it could lead to me being anxious about how I am affecting my students and whether they are learning. Being that Impact is my highest area of concern, knowing this allows me to be able to work on how I will connect with my students and I can learn ways to assist in helping students develop a good relationship with the course material and wanting to learn. I can also reach out to peers and ask how they connect with their students and ask how they recognize when they are impacting their learners.undefinedPart 2undefinedThree examples that I would like to discuss on how Mrs. Dodge might have helped Anna understand the concept discussed in the case history is first Mrs. Dodge could have encouraged Anna instead of belittling her in front of the entire class. She could have encouraged her by assisting Anna in working out the problem she gave her in a step by step method. She could have used art as a way of helping Anna to understand based on her love of drawing pictures. Second she could have given Anna a real chance to answer instead of moving on to another student. This would have allowed Anna to speak up about not understanding and possibly being able to receive some extra help. Third I would say that Mrs. Dodge could have pulled Anna aside after class to discuss how she could better encourage Anna to want to learn more about math or to at least better understand it so that she is able to retain something. As well Mrs. Dodge could have created the groups where students who were good in math were divided up amongst the class so that they could assist the learners who didn’t understand or know how to do the work. I have seen where some learners do better with peer to peer learning. These methods were based off of our text on The teacher and culture, linguistic, socioeconomics bias in the classroom.undefinedPart 3undefined S elf Expectations Schoolwide Expectations Learning Time 0-
