, We have a student named Keven who is in the sixth grade right. He is a good student who
earns Bs and Cs in all of his subjects in school besides his math class. He struggles in his math
class with understanding the concepts and staying on task at times. He seems to be unmotivated
when his teacher is trying to help him understand the material. His teacher right now has tried
talking to his father about her concerns about him not passing the state standard test this year and
the father did not see any motivation to want to help get his son up to speed in math. We need a
teacher who is willing to find a way to motivate Keven and get him to pass that state standard
math test in a couple of months. This teacher needs to have a philosophy that is going to work
for motivating Keven with his math and striving for new things to show him and get him
interested in math again.
When we are thinking of a teacher for Keven it needs to be someone who can look at
learning theories that have been used in the past and to bring them all together and make a new
learning theory that will work for Keven. Not every student is the same and that is okay. We all
know we have our own challenges and we can learn from them to make bridges to get over the
challenges and find the brighter side once we can cross that bridge. Keven needs someone who is
going to help him with his character development, engage with him in a positive way, build up
his self-efficacy, and someone who will develop a positive relationship with him.
Starting with Keven’s character development, the teacher can look at Piaget’s theory and
see where Keven is in the 4 stages that Piaget says we all go through in our lives as we learn.
Currently Keven is in his concrete optional stage but will end the year in his formal operational
stage. This means that Keven is in the stages of learning what is right and wrong and looking at
rules and what they mean to him. He doesn’t understand the rules and why they are the way they
are yet. But he is heading in that direction. This is important to know as his teacher because
