According to Abraham Maslow, students have the energy and the want for learning, but if their basic needs, based on Maslow's hierarchy, are not met, then students will not have the capacity to learn or even want to behave in class. According to the hierarchy, psychological needs need to be met before anything else because they are place at the lowest level. That means that if those needs are not met, nothing else can happen until they are.

According to Rudolf Dreikurs, a child's most basic social need is to be accepted, so they act accordingly. He believes there are six main reasons why a child would act up in class. Those are: for attention, avoidance/escape, control, revenge, self-regulation/coping, and play. For attention, it is believed that the behavior serves the need to draw attention away from others and to oneself. For avoidance/escape, the behavior serves the need to end an event or activity the the student does not like, or avoid an event. For control, the behavior serves the need to control events. For revenge, the behavior serves the need o punish others for something hat was done to the student. For self-regulation/coping, the behavior serves the need to regulate feelings or energy levels. And for play, the behavior serves the need to have fun.]]> 2018-01-23 02:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/arielhaith1022/kqyfjghcahc8/wish/223618359 arielhaith1022 https://padlet.com/arielhaith1022/kqyfjghcahc8/wish/223618395 There are a variety of different reasons why some students are at a higher risk of having an unsuccessful school experience. Some reasons why students might be at risk for poor academic performance are: the school system provides relatively few educators from the social/cultural group with which the student identifies and presents a curriculum that fails to value the students cultural background; the classroom environment and instructional approach is inconsistent with how the student learns best; the student has limited English proficiency and is thus less able to understand the material being presented; the student has special needs associated with an identified disability; outside of school, the student has limited support for school success; the student has demands outside of school that limit time and energy for school-related learning tasks; or the student lacks a sense of hope that school-based learning will positively impact his or her future.

If a student is an immigrant, that opens up a whole other list of risks for failure. Factors of risks include background and reasons for immigrating, immigrant or refugee status, adjustment issues, family and cultural supports, cultural differences, language issues, economic status, marketability of skills in the US economy, acceptance by US mainstream society, and generational issues. 

These risks can be the main reason that students don't perform to the best of their ability, and possibly end up dropping out or quitting.]]> 2018-01-23 02:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/arielhaith1022/kqyfjghcahc8/wish/223618395 arielhaith1022 https://padlet.com/arielhaith1022/kqyfjghcahc8/wish/223618410 There are a few different reasons why the issues of power and caring are so important in a school setting.

Power is important in a school setting because students needs to have a sense of power when it comes to their learning. They need to feel like they have a say in their grades. Meaning that teachers need to be open to students when it comes to their grades. They need to communicate with their students about almost every aspect of their learning. Students need to feel that sense of power over the outcomes that will affect their lives. 

When it comes to caring in the school setting, students need to feel like they are cared about. If students feel otherwise, they are more inclined not to care about school if school doesn't care about them. They need to feel a sense of belonging when it comes to the classroom. The classroom should almost be like a second home for them. They need to feel cared about to unlock maximum learning potential.]]> 2018-01-23 02:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/arielhaith1022/kqyfjghcahc8/wish/223618410
