Consider the complexities of teaching as you read the following vignette, and use this information to respond to the question(s) that follow.
Juan Alvarez is a fifth grade teacher in an urban elementary school. He has 26 students, 4 of whom are absent, and he is working with a reading group of 8 while the remaining 14 are working on a seatwork assignment.
As Karen reads aloud, Juan sees Bill tapping Luanne on the back of her head with a pencil. Karen finishes, and Juan then asks Ariel to read as he continues to watch Bill and Luanne.
Bill taps Karen again, and Karen flails her arm back trying to hit Bill, just as the intercom says, "Mr. Alvarez?"
"Yes," Juan responds.
"Is Clarice Torres in your class today?"
"Yes she is."
"Would you please send her down to the office?"
"Clarice," Juan says nodding to her, smiling inwardly since announcements commonly occur during his reading period.
Clarice gets up and heads out the door, Juan tells Ariel to continue, and he gets up, goes over to Bill and Luanne, and warns Bill that another incident of misbehavior will result in a call to his mother.
Several of the students doing seatwork look up as Juan admonishes Bill and hears him say that Bill's mother is likely to be called.
Juan then returns to his reading group as he watches to be sure that Bill is working on his seatwork.
The combination of a reading group in progress, students working on a seatwork assignment, and an intercom announcement best illustrate which of the following?
◦ The multidimensional aspect of teaching
◦ The public aspect of teaching
◦ The unpredictable aspect of teaching
◦ The artistic aspect of teaching
