Teachers clearly favors certain students.

In a disconnected classroom I see:
- The children and teacher in two different separate areas (kids playing in one area and teacher at desk checking emails or what not)
Teacher only commenting on bad behavior
-Negativity, no positive reinforcement
-Loud, noisy, chaotic, unorganized, fighting among kids since teacher is not connected and at desk or other area

# data[].attributes.body
-"Command" tone vs. "conversation" tone
-cell phone/tablet usage
-easily frustrated
-physically aggressive
-aggressive language
-dismissive when children are upset or injured

# data[].attributes.body
A disconnected teacher to me is someone who:
- Is not involved in play with the children in the classroom.
- Is more interested in talking to the co-teacher than the children.
- Focuses on just getting through the work day, and not the children's growth.
- Has no control over the classroom, and appears chaotic.
- Screams at children when frustrated instead of sitting the child down and talking to them calmly.
- Does not use lesson plans according to the children's development.

you are big now you need to be a big girl or boy all the time.
when paperwork takes over your life and you forget about the child quilty of this one I had to step back and remember why I was doing this. I think there is alot of us the get caught up and then that teachable moment comes and we are so caught up that we forget.
I will never forget this one to a toddler "you will not grow up to be a wife beater like your daddy"

The teacher could be ignoring the child if the the child is attempting to have a conversation.

The teacher could be wrapped up in personal problems causing a negative and disconnected attitude.

The teacher could be working on own work in the classroom instead of attending the children.

The teacher could be an affectionate person and don't connect well with the child

Teachers that are disconnected from the children tend to look at the classroom as a list of never ending tasks. The notice the negativity/bad behavior in the room and allow that to change the mood of the classroom.
A disconnected classroom will have a less attentive teacher.  You may see the teacher sitting at the table while the children are doing their own thing. There will be more frustration when a child has their little moment, where that frustration will linger throughout the day. The communication with parents is not so great.

# data[].attributes.body
The teacher could be talking to another teacher or even a parent picking up
She could be distracted by a spill during lunch time, attempting to clean up, while a child falls off his chair.
a child could be crying while she is on her phone.
the teacher could just walk away when a child is trying to tell her something.

Shannon- group C

Teacher is not looking at the child they are talking to. There is no one monitoring the children while they are playing and there is no classroom structure. Teachers are busy with personal things such as talking on the phone, talking only to each other and not engaging with playtime or learning with the children in their care.

Another thing I would see with disconnected teachers is that they treat the children as an inconvenience and may use harsh words to control and manipulate the child's behavior.

# data[].attributes.body
Looking into a classroom where the teacher is disconnected I would see things like teachers sitting down possibly on their cell phones or chatting with another teacher in the room. They allow the children to roam around doing unguided activities and maybe doing inappropriate things.

The room would be very crazy.
Children would be fighting,screaming, or sitting in a corner by themselves.
Teachers would be talking to each other about things not related to child care.
Toys would be all over getting stepped on or broke.
Children could be doing things that are not safe like running.
Children could be hurting one another.

A disconnected teacher looks as though he/she:
-has no control over class
-doesn't get down to their eye level(is talking over them or yelling across the room)
-doesn't establish solid rules
-only sees the bad in a child
-ignores child saying their name if they are in another conversation (doesn't look and acknowledge child to tell them to be patient)
-yells more than talks
-neglects the fact that some of the class may be at a different level of understanding than the other

Teacher comes in cranky.

Uses a condescending tone.

Doesn't want to listen what the children have to say.

Pays no attention to anything they do.

Assuming its going to be a bad day for a child.

Doesn't want to be there.

What would a teacher of a disconnected  classroom look like?
*  He/she is not in the moment and has a reluctance to be there;
*  Is neglectful of children;
*  Exhibits teaching as a chore and is annoyed;
*  Has unclear and low expectations;
*  Presents uninteresting and dull materials:
*  Shows very little  interest in the child(ren);
* Does not verbally interact with child(ren); and
*Uses intimidating body language and harsh language.
Result... Bored, uninterested children who more than likely have no respect for educator and will present with challenging behaviors.
Just some of my thoughts.
