Homework: Teaching Scenarios
Overview
The purpose of the Teaching Scenarios Homework is to apply what you have learned about handling classroom dynamics and challenging situations. You will gain experience exploring possible responses to potential classroom dilemmas. Considering hypothetical issues now will help you develop a plan for handling real-life situations that may arise if you enter into a future teaching career. This homework will also provide an opportunity to gain experience with grading hypothetical student work.
Instructions
For the Teaching Scenarios Homework, you will complete and submit the Teaching Scenarios Worksheet located in Teaching Scenarios Homework section within Canvas. This answer sheet contains two parts:
In Part I, various hypothetical classroom/student scenarios will be provided. For each scenario, you must provide:
1. A description of an appropriate response you could have as a professor in that particular situation.
2. An explanation of why you would handle the situation in that manner.
3. Research support for the appropriateness of your response. Research can be from course materials (i.e., the textbook or article readings) or from outside academic material you find (academic books and peer-reviewed articles only). Outside material must have been published within the last seven years. If using the textbook, the most helpful material will be found in Chapter 6. If there is a situation for which you disagree with the suggestions in the academic literature, feel free to explain why your response may not match up with the cited material. You must include at least one research citation for each answer to earn full credit.
While there is no official length requirement for your answers, you should aim for about 3-5 sentences (answers can be single spaced). In some situations, there may not be a perfect answer/response, and this is fine as long as you can adequately explain the reasoning behind your answer and support it with research.
