Topic: Classroom


  
  Classroom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A classroom is a room in which a lesson is taught by a teacher in a school or other educational institution.
Classrooms may be associated with a particular subject, particularly in the cases where specific resources are required, or with a specific teacher.
This is particularly the case with rules such as that against wearing hats or caps, which cannot be reasonably defended as protecting the learning environment, and is merely a way to subordinate the students' will to that of the teacher's, for no purpose other than as an exercise of petty authority.

 Schoolwide and Classroom Discipline
In contrast, principals of well-disciplined schools tend to be very visible in hallways and classrooms, talking informally with teachers and students, speaking to them by name, and expressing interest in their activities.
Defining effective managers as those teachers whose classrooms were orderly, had a minimum of student misbehavior, and had high levels of time-on-task, and ineffective managers as those whose classrooms lacked these qualities, Kounin found that effective and ineffective managers did not differ greatly in their methods for dealing with disruption.
Having determined that the use of certain classroom management techniques makes for well-disciplined classroom environments, some researchers have turned their attention to the question of whether significant improvements in classroom discipline could be achieved through the provision of teacher training in these validated techniques.

 Calculus graphics -- Douglas N. Arnold
The other images treat a specific volume, that of the wedge of water formed when a cylindrical class of equal height and diameter is tipped until the water line runs through the center of the base.
A brief graphical exploration of a continuous, nowhere differentiable function fits very well in the first semester of calculus, for example, to provide a strong counterexample to the converse of the theorem that differentiability implies continuity; or to show that it is only differentiable functions which look like straight lines under the microscope.
Given good classroom graphics facilities such an exploration is easy, but it is almost hopeless without them.
