I tried to do a screen-cast of skype video conferencing, but it seems that screen-cast for free only records your voice and not the other person. Sorry about that, but the information given was very informative and relative to the text. Mr. Watson of Simeon Career Academy explained that the biggest challenges in classroom management was managing different cultures and backgrounds. Although the school is predominantly Black there are differences in households of the students that attend the school. Mr. Watson explained that he manages with positive reinforcement due to that was most effective for him and his peers when he was in school and this was the way his father managed his home. So when getting licensed to teach in the state of Illinois, while attend school this management style fit him perfectly and he wanted to learn more about how to be effective. In Chapter 7 it defines positive reinforcement as the reinforcement that occurs when the behavior or response produces a new stimulus. Mr. Watson explained when his students follow the rules of his class and shows positive behavior in class, he rewards the students with a phone call to the parents with a glowing praise of how they are a positive effect on the classroom. Even though he teaches in a High School, they are still care about what their parents think of them.
