Mr. Phelps regularly uses some class meeting time to ask for students' input about ways that all members of the class, himself included, can improve the way things are working. This practice is
 
  a. a good one, because it communicates clear respect for student input.
  b. a good one, because it allows Mr. Phelps to gauge which students do and do not like his teaching style.
  c. a poor one, because it reduces Mr. Phelps's authority with the students if they are allowed to make suggestions about his behavior.
  d. a poor one, because instructional time is being sacrificed for the conversation.

Question 2

When you ask a student to come up with a strategy to not get in trouble again and he responds with Ill try harder, you should
 
  a. express your appreciation for this commitment and convey your belief that he will be successful.
  b. tell the student that while you appreciate that commitment, he will need to do more than just try to change his behavior.
  c. remind the student that while you appreciate that commitment, it is vague, and work with him to identify some specific actions/strategies for change.
  d. begin the problem solving process again, deepening the conversation you have in which the student describes the problematic behavior.
