Ms. Bancel teaches in an extremely diverse, low-wealth school system. She sits down in the teacher's lounge with a sigh. "I give up. I tried using problem solving with my class, and it just doesn't work. I took 15 minutes today to introduce it so I could use it to address the amount of time students are out of their seats. They couldn't generate the plan at all, so I gave them some options, and
they all agreed on one…but their behavior didn't change at all. So I just punished the entire class. How frustrating!" All but which of the following statements are likely true in this situation?" a. Ms. Bancel should plan to give the strategy some time, because it's new to students and they need time to learn and practice it. b. Ms. Bancel should invest more time up front, teaching the students the specific steps in the problem-solving process and practicing them. c. Ms. Bancel should avoid the use of problem solving because the process is generally less effective with students from very diverse backgrounds. d. Ms. Bancel should reconsider the use of punishment as a response to situations like this in the future.
