Abstract
Teaching is a field that relies on a varied background in
the teacher. A teacher must be competent not only in major
and minor areas of study but also in psychology, sociology and
specific educational theory. Even still events in the
classroom will occur that are not discussed in teacher
preparation. Learning to cope with these surprises is
necessary for becoming a good teacher. One minor surprise is
that the middle school is unique because the non-academic
strongly affects the academic according to most middle school
teachers. Behavior and academic problems accompany each other
frequently. Dan is an example of a student whose academic
problems are consequential of his behavior and emotional
problems. I observed Dan for approximately eleven weeks
during my student teaching. Over a period of time, behavior
can change permanently. Although Dan's behavior progressed,
it reflected a day to day change in his emotional state.
