Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Sociology - Children and Youth, , course: Masters in Education (Advanced Teaching for Elementary, Middle and Secondary), language: English, abstract: This essay will discuss issues that students face and challenges during the phases of puberty. In most international schools, most teachers are challenged with behaviour problems, and understanding the home environment of that particular student is imperative in building channels of communication that are effective between the school and parents and being able to guide and support them continuously. Teaching in an International Baccalaureate school will involve teaching students from both the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP) where students come from different nationalities, cultures, and socio, economic backgrounds, teaching them to be tolerant and respectful towards each other are important. As educators, we need to be adults and communicate effectively ensuring that as professionals we seek what is best and right for our students, by constantly guiding, reminding, and supporting them to achieve their goals, outcomes, and objectives. Students can either fully engage in activities or be completely isolated from the rest of their peers in the classroom, it is important for a teacher to reinforce various instructional approaches and strategies to improve their educational setting for them to achieve their academic results.
