Book Synopsis The Effect of Creating a Positive Classroom Culture Through the Use of Tribes Learning Communities to Impact Students' Behavior by : Tara Tolly
Download or read book The Effect of Creating a Positive Classroom Culture Through the Use of Tribes Learning Communities to Impact Students' Behavior written by Tara Tolly and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose for this study was to determine if building a positive classroom culture through the use of Tribes Learning Communities (Gibbs, 2006) would impact students' behavior. This ten-week study took place at Prairie Ridge Elementary School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa during the fall of the 2009/2010 school year. The researcher used the Tribes Curriculum to implement community-building activities, community circles, and cooperative learning groups with the intention of creating a positive classroom community and decreasing occurrences of negative student behaviors. Students participating in Tribes Learning Communities were explicitly taught problem-solving and conflict-management skills and encouraged to use these skills in their everyday experiences with peers. This study was implemented in a general education, Grade 4 classroom of 25 students. Subjects' perceptions of classroom culture were assessed through a teacher-created survey used as a pretest and posttest. Tribe group dynamics throughout the study were assessed through the use of group self-assessments. A checklist and an anecdotal journal were also used to document negative subject behaviors and instances of conflict resolution. Results showed an increase in positive classroom culture and few instances of negative student behaviors, which could be attributed to the use of Tribes Learning Communities.
Book Synopsis The Impact of Implementing Tribes Learning Communities on Student Behavior and Classroom Management in a Fourth Grade Classroom by : Melissa Wheatly
Download or read book The Impact of Implementing Tribes Learning Communities on Student Behavior and Classroom Management in a Fourth Grade Classroom written by Melissa Wheatly and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to determine whether the implementation of Tribes Learning Communities would have a positive impact on students' behavior, and consequently, classroom management overall. Tribes' curriculum enlists the use of community-building activities, collaborative class discussion, long-term student groups of no more than four, and the understanding of four tribe agreements. Explicit strategies and plans, developed specifically for classrooms with Tribes Learning Communities, were used to maximize the effectiveness of the small group design. A rate scale survey was administered as a pretest / posttest to gather initial and final student perceptions regarding group work. In a large group, as well as small cooperative learning groups, subjects were involved in daily community building instruction and activities. Weekly assessments (surveys) were administered to monitor progress of the implementation. This quasi- experimental one group study was implemented in a general education, grade four classroom of 16 students. Subjects' overall impression and performance within a collaborative classroom environment of student tribe groups were gauged through three assessments. Of those assessment pieces, two were student rate scale surveys, and one was a teacher-created behavioral referral form. An anecdotal journal was logged throughout the study to note observations, track individual and group performance, and monitor students' perceptions of the study. For a period of nine weeks. observations were documented and analyzed to monitor group progress. Findings from the study show an increase in effective group perception as well as a decrease in problematic student behavior. It can be inferred that the results are in direct correlation with the implementation of Tribes, as an initiative to promote cooperative learning skills and positive behavior within student groups.

Book excerpt: TRIBES Learning Communities is a process. It is a way to establish a positive environment for learning and human development throughout a school by building a sense of community for learning and being together. TRIBES is a health initiative in the Green Bay School District, which has been researched and proven to improve students' self-directed learning. Yet, the implementation of TRIBES has been hindered at ABC School due to a variety of reasons; the unstructured envornment at ABC School, the lack of time during the school day, and a lack of TRIBES resources. With the full implementation of TRIBES at ABC School, students will problem solve and discuss their differences and disagreements. A positive and safe school environment will be created where the students will learn the intrinsic value of making good choices, which will prepare them to become respectful citizens at home, in school, and in the community. The implementation of TRIBES is essential in order to sustain the unique philosophy and the respectful family and community atmosphere at ABC School.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flip the Switch! How to Get Students Into Learning Mode Now. In his well-known meta-analysis, John Hattie suggests that facilitating learning is not as effective or powerful as activating learning. In this book Gayle Gregory shows you how to facilitate better and deeper learning. Packed with practical strategies that teachers can use every day to increase student achievement, you will also discover what educational neuroscience says about nurturing a "growth mindset" and creating classrooms that support and encourage students to take risks and "fail forward." Learn how to Foster student dialogue and thinking Orchestrate productive, reflective flexible student groups Develop respectful learning relationships between and among students and teachers Teacher competencies and clarity related to student goals and success criteria, with quality feedback, are essential for student success. This resource will enrich learning environments for students and increase the chance of success for all. "In going from ‘teachers as fount of knowledge’ to ′teacher as facilitator’ the field has overcorrected. Gayle Gregory corrects all that with a comprehensive and deep portrayal of the need for ’teachers to be activators’ of learning in partnership with students. Based on equal measure of research and practice Gregory gives is a compelling set of ideas and tools to maximize student learning and engagement. Read it and hit the ground running!"

Book Synopsis Tribes, Land, and the Environment by : Sarah Krakoff
Download or read book Tribes, Land, and the Environment written by Sarah Krakoff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal and environmental concerns related to Indian law and tribal lands remain an understudied branch of both indigenous law and environmental law. Native American tribes have a far more complex relationship with the environment than is captured by the stereotype of Indians as environmental stewards. Meaningful tribal sovereignty requires that non-Indians recognize the right of Indians to determine their own relationship to the land and the environment. But tribes do not exist in a vacuum: in fact they are deeply affected by off-reservation activities and, similarly, tribal choices often have effects on nearby communities. This book brings together diverse essays by leading Indian law scholars across the disciplines of indigenous and environmental law. The chapters reveal the difficulties encountered by Native American tribes in attempts to establish their own environmental standards within federal Indian law and environmental law structures. Gleaning new insights from a focus on tribal land and property law, the collection studies the practice of tribal sovereignty as experienced by Indians and non-Indians, with an emphasis on the development and regulatory challenges these tribes face in the wake of climate change. This volume will advance the reader's knowledge and understanding of these challenging issues.

Book Synopsis No Child Left Without a Tribe by : Michelle Visser
Download or read book No Child Left Without a Tribe written by Michelle Visser and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates what characteristics are necessary in a classroom to effectively implement the community building teaching strategies of the Tribes process. This process was designed to change the pattern of interaction within a classroom from a primarily teacher to student interaction to one in which dialogue is between students with the teacher's role becoming one of learner and facilitator. Skills that are developed through this process include: attentive listening, problem solving, decision-making, and expression of ideas. All of these skills are important within family relationships, work settings and other organizational systems (Gibbs, 2001). Two classrooms, a fifth grade math class and a second grade classroom, were observed and teachers were interviewed for this study. In the first class, the strategies were only used for math class. In the second class, the strategies were implemented throughout the school day as well as throughout the school, resulting in a lifestyle within the classroom. The difference in the results points to three important characteristics of a classroom that fully implements Tribes: (1) The process is embraced as a lifestyle, (2) The Tribes strategies are consistently used throughout the day and, (3) All teachers working within the classroom need to have a comparable approach to the use of the strategies.
