Pedro Noguera’s Article

May 20th, 2008

After reading Pedro Noguera’s article on the modern education institution I became more aware of the type of cycles occurring in schools that foster the grouping of unruly students which leads them down the path of failure.  Reading his article enlightened my perception on how to interpret students that misbehave and how such situations should be approached.

As we discussed in class, I intend on implementing practices to break the cycle of ignoring students with non-traditional classroom needs by nurturing all, raising my expectations of all students, encourage other teachers to question the traditional means of disciplinary action, while promoting student advocacy.

    I agree. I do not desire to be a part of a cycle that rejects “bad” children. I want to help them. I am happy that we read this article. It made me realize the little things that we as teachers do that do not help the children who needs our understanding the most.
