Classroom-Related Problems
Teachers FaceBy: Jayme Feld, Colleen
Funck, Lauren Mellon, Jenna Rendeiro
Affiliation
The teacher’s need to establish and maintain good relationships with those in the school.
This includes colleagues, students, faculty, staff, and administrators.
Social aspect, which entails a mutual respect and understanding.
Affiliation Continued
When teachers feel unsupported and unappreciated, it is not likely that they will be effective in their teaching.
Teachers need affiliation because they are required to take on so many roles.
Control
The teacher’s need to have students behave appropriately.
Many teachers have had trouble maintaining:
Order Quiet Control
Steps for Keeping Control:
Pursue classroom goals that are attainable and important.
Analyze factors that are affecting the problem situation.
Use positive techniques for managing behavior.
Use punishment strongly and appropriately. Teach students to manage their own
behavior.
Parent Relationships and Home Conditions
Benefits Barriers
Built by teachers Built by parents or
guardians Built by home conditions
Parent Relationships and Home Conditions Continued
To achieve mutual support: Increase frequency and quality of teacher-parent
interactions.
To achieve optimal home & community conditions: Realize relationship between the
home/community and school experience is complex.
Avoid casual explanations that may not be true. Remember that interactions between parents
and their children are more important than material possessions found in the home.
Student Success
Teachers have to help learners achieve both academically and socially.
Success problems Not enough student interest Special Needs Students The teachers instructional shortcomings
Student Success Continued
Obstacles Teachers do not have enough knowledge
about teaching. Every student is different. The school goals are not specific enough. Teaching is greater than the sum of its
parts.
Time Lack of time represents a serious problem for teachers. Time is finite, so learning to use it better is the only
option. Suggestions:
Know yourself Know your goals Know your work environment Plan Learn to set priorities and say no Concentrate Don’t Procrastinate Follow through
Question Time!

1. What is the problem?
2. What do you want to happen that is not happening?
3. What obstacles exist that are in your way of reaching your goal? How can you remove or overcome them?
