Introduction
Managing the process to deliver the education to the student in the manner it gives the valuable
return to the learner and the teacher is the education management process. Brain-based learning
theory was developed by the famous teacher and educational leader. He is an M.A. in
organisational development and holder of PH. D in Human development grew in San Diego,
California (Jenson, 2019).

Brain-based learning
Usually the teaching other is believed as the most responsible activity, teacher or educational
trainer is seen as the most respected person in the society. Learning needs the involvement of the
minds with interest and creativity. By the time teaching and learning concept are changing,
teachers are involving more techniques to their teaching session to make the student involved in
learning with their interest (Tabibian, 2018).

Brain-based learning is the result of initiative thinking and creativity to develop the ancient
methods of teaching and educating. As a supervisor in the primary school, brain-based learning
technique is useful to increase the engagement of the learners into the lessons and evaluating the
learning outcomes from the students. This theory focus on the designing of the academic
programs and lesson plans to improve the educational experience of the learner and teachers in
the class (Bush et al., 2019).

Effects of the emotions
Emotions are the initial stages of one's mind that keeps changing according to their feelings. In
the student's life these emotions are related to pride, victory, lose and win. Feeling connected to
the educator with positive emotions gives highly satisfactory results. Educators need to deal with
the emotional states of the students and can use these emotions of the students to motivate them
towards learning new things (Choi et al., 2017). For example, organising an art and science
exhibitions give the emotional pride to the students to participate with all their efforts.

Effects of engagement
Engagement is the result of the active brain taking interest in the learning of skills and abilities.
Educators focus on the brain engagement of the students. Engaged brain is always curious about
the learning to the new things. Making the brain engaged in the learning process increase the
students' interest and attention to motivate them towards learning new things. Educators that
focus on brain engagement can achieve higher learning objectives (El Nasri & Suliman, 2019).
Asking the curious and out of the classroom quizzes regarding the lessons encourages the
students to participate with the engaged brain.
Timing of the lessons
Time management is an essential aspect of the lesson plans. In primary school, the time
management is very difficult to manage usually it takes a longer time than the planned time in
the activities. Head-master is facing challenges with the primary teaches in the time
management, because delivering the things interestingly within the given time is difficult to deal.
Like teacher plan to teach the new things in 30 minutes but children sitting management
consumed the time results in the improper delivery of the lessons. (Hayes, 2018).
Brain-based learning is based on the concept of Neuroeducation and Cognifit’s theory of
identifying the learners' ability and difficulties in learning. The brain-based learning force the
educator to read and understand the mid-set and abilities of the learners to deliver the knowledge
and skills accordingly (Jiang & Tahira, 2015).
Section A question 2
Students deal with many challenges inside of the school and sometimes at the home. A teacher
needs to identify the problem faced by the students and also try to find the appropriate solution.
Sometimes difficulties are faced by the students fails effective results on the learning. These
difficulties are sometimes from the school teacher, parents or classmates. A continues insecurity

and fear impact on the students nature effect very deep in negative way, here principal identified
two problems in the student's behaviour (Jones, 2016).
Bullying
Bullying is annoying, violent, and aggressive behaviour of the children that are aged to the
school includes a real or apparent authority difference. This kind of behaviour is repetitive and
has the possibility of repetition over time (Lloyd, 2015). Headmaster here while addressing to
solve the issues faced many challenges like;
 Setting the restrict actions against bullying works only in the school are but outside of the
school, they cannot set their restrictions on the students.
 Sometimes students are affected with the powerful image of the bullying element and
they encourage them with their silence.
 Students being habitual of bullying ignore to complain against the problems because fear
of insult among them took place very deep.
Frustration
Some students are seen as angry and high tempered kids in the classes. This all happen because
they show frustration to others by their angry behaviour. Kids who get frustrated by anything are
mostly those who face difficulties to understand the lesson or learning the activities. Frustration
took place when a child feels insecure to express his threat to the parents at home and the
teachers in the school (Hayes, 2018). Here these challenges were giving difficulties like
 Behaviour of the students got a major impact from the society, community and the
family. After the positive environment in the school if a child faces negativity at home
than it becomes difficult to change them.

 A change is not possible in the behaviour without efforts from both parties; teachers
sometimes get diverted from motivating the students because of the improper response
from the students.
Steps to prevent the challenges
To secure the present and future of the students a teacher must be very sensitive and intelligent to
identify the potential threat and have enough plans to solve the challenges prevailing among the
students.
 Help the students to understand the bullying, make videos to deliver effective prevention
to the bullying. Make the plans to aware the parents to identify the symptoms in the
children if he is facing the bullying in the class.
 Keep the communication two ways processing, the effective management of school apply
the two-way communication. It free the students to communicate the challenges to the
teachers they are facing in the class or at home.
 Some students face very pressure from their parents to perform better and sometimes they
face comparison in the class or at the home, this needs very serious attention that the
atmosphere given to a child in the family affect the presentation of the student in the
academics
 A happy and learning environment encouraging the students to do what they love to do
leads the effective control on the aggressive and frustrated behaviour. A teacher
communicating with the great love and affection and treating the children according to
their skills and abilities increase the beliefs of the students in the teachers and this leads
to the effective learning in the class and applying it in the real world (Jones, 2016).

The emotion if the students are connected to the teachers in the school. An excellent teacher
knows the skills to play with the emotions to lead the students towards learning and developing
knowledge with effective development.
Section B
Observation in the classroom by the higher authority like a principal or headmaster is very
challenging. Because observing needs then able to see the hidden mistakes made by the teacher
while they pretend to teach very effectively and sow the great efforts in the lesson plans.
Observing sometimes make the teachers feel anxious and insecure so the observation leads the
process to improve the required changes in the teaching behaviour of the teachers. Here the
aspect found unsuitable in the class was relevant to the poor homework quality and incomplete
homework of the students in the class (Zhou et al., 2018).
Dissatisfaction with the Home-Work
Homework given to students is the revision of the lesson taught in the classrooms because
reputation of the learning helps to remember something for a long time but student see it as the
burden on them because after spending their half time of the day in the classroom they want to
get free hence they avoid home-work and this is a very serious issue. Principal observed this
problem in every class and organised a meeting to consult the issues and to identify the best
solution for the problem. Many times this is seen as the serious challenge faced by the teachers.
This happen sometimes due to over pampering of the children in the classroom or at home.
Students seek the solution as the teacher's responsibility, not their learning activity. (Wegner &
Mozzato, 2019).
This aspect needs to change in the classroom because it;

 Incomplete and improper homework can impact on the regular performance of the
students.
 Students will become irresponsible for their responsibilities.
 Students will not seriously involve in the lectures and learning and this will lead to a
decrease in their learning and knowledge.
Tool to identify the need for change
A questionnaire can give effective useful and helpful data to identify the reaction and thinking of
the teachers towards the implemented change in the school and class management (Krosnick,
2018).

Change introduction and conflict management
After the successful result of the questionnaire tool head-master needs to select the proper
strategies to implement the change and to manage the conflict arise in the duration of the change.
Here the best suitable model to introduce the change in the school management is the Kotter’s
change model (Bush et al., 2019).
