Reflection 5 Initiation rites and rites of passage ceremonies
Initiation rites and rites of passage ceremonies have several traits that involve teaching and learning such as communication, relationships, performances, beliefs, and formal structures. For one thing, it examines face-to-face interactions through which diverse individuals are transformed into teachers it uses rites of passage to describe the processes in which teachers acquire cultural knowledge about teaching and eliminate inappropriate displays of behavior. It is a transition from one social group to another. It also depends on the way the school operates would justify how the teacher would adapt based on the guiding beliefs, skills, and aspirations represented in the school. It also refers to the environmental location of the school whether it is in a good or bad neighborhood. Good quality relationships of both personal and professional characteristic. It begins at home and continues in the school environment. You can’t expect to not have any discipline at home and once they arrive to school they are the perfect angels…NEGATIVE!! We as teachers need the support from the parents, this would be a tremendous help to managing a classroom. Another is among the colleagues, disagreements often arrives from staff conflict and experiences with school base politics and unfair treatment from some of the staffs. Primary teachers have to contract with classroom managements; they will have to deal with different attitudes, disruptive students, Students that refuse to complete their work, etc. In my opinion, without classroom management lesson plans will be ruined. As far as learning, most teachers use learning objectives to pinpoint their lesson plans. Since learning cannot be seen directly teachers must make inference about learning from the information the students turn in. a well planned learning objective would leave less room for doubtfulness about what the teacher plans on lecturing. In conclusion, my view is that initiation into teaching has its similarities with the initiation rites of some eras. It can be painful sometimes and involves time to you before trying to deal with others. A well written learning objective it is the meat (root) of a lesson plan. Without this your class will not have any patience or practices.
