Often, the display should be the representation of the children’s own work. However, posters, published materials or good quality photographs can be used when the children’s own work is not available. The display should always have a clear title, a year group label and should have a short explanation of the task / learning objective. In order to enhance and enrich the displays, all the labels could be printed by school staff or children using their computer skills. It is also important that the class teacher uses a range of questions to draw attention to the display and encourage interaction.
There are various types of experiments that are used to research this, however comparitive experiments should not be used as we are only studying a group of people in education, not the whole population. When conducting a lab experiment the researcher must look at parental issues (e.g. time, cost, skills) and theoretical issues. Teachers have various characteristics within the school; this can impact the researcher. in lab experiments the participant has the right to withdraw.
Conformity vs. Individuality State education and student individuality are what causes much tension in public schools. Schools want to achieve the same goal of producing a good student, but through what means? Are mandatory classes going to teach students to think for themselves of how to blend in with conformity and obey authority? It is in the schools best interest to balance these ideas and not lean towards only one, and not have a school only based on conformity or individuality, but should balance both. Mandatory classes are used to set a basic system and to set standard classes for everyone, since everyone must learn the same things such as math, reading, and science.
TDA 2.13: Provide Displays in Schools 1. Understand the school policy and procedures for displays 2.1 – Within work, we do not have a policy to do with displays. The class teachers are responsible for the displays that they want to go up in and around their classrooms. Putting up a display in the class is good for stimulating the children when it comes work. The displays can either be really informative, to which they will be able to use the information that is provided to include it into their work.
The study indicated labelling goes on and that the labels are used to pre-judge pupils potential. P177 Problems with this approach- Ethical-can be problems with deception. Practical getting hold of teachers and pupils, gaining access. Artificiality- tells us little about real interaction in the classroom. Field experiments- located in real settings- Rosenthal and Jacobsen- Pygmalion in the classroom focuses on labelling,
All of these legislations need to be understood and adhered to when planning any activities. Moreover we all have a duty of care towards the children within our care, colleagues and any visitors to the school setting. Therefore rooms for example, classrooms, dining rooms, assembly hall, community rooms should all be large enough for people to be able to move around freely and not hold more furniture that would make an evacuation slow. Schools must make sure that children aged between 5 and 7 aren’t taught in classes of more than 30 pupils. There’s no legal limit for pupils aged 8 or over.
One of the rules at the school is that students are not allowed to touch the walls; which includes writing on them. Although, in the hallways teachers are allowed to put up in class work on the walls, I believe to show the different creativity students have. In the classroom during homework time there is music playing, and while they are doing outside activities you could hear other students but no cars really. Antonio Del Buono is a performing arts school so there are a variety of posters that describe the different type of programs offered at the school; at the entrance there is a trophy shelf where medals and pictures are posted to show their accomplishments. In the classroom the five class rules are posted on the wall.
Pictures: Pictures are used alongside words to make communication more easier and understandable. In fact in my placement school, the reading scheme that is used starts the children off with ‘picture only’ books so the children are encouraged to talk about the pictures in the book and make their own story up and ask questions. Technology: Computer programmes (apps and games), interactive whiteboard, story tapes, cds are all ways of stimulating a child’s communication development. These days a lot of programmes are interactive and children can hear and respond to different applications made specially to help develop their
There is a strict rule that needs to be followed concerning children being picked up from school and if parents cannot pick their children up, meaning someone else picking them up, the school needs to know to avoid any risks of child abduction. Children wait in the school entrance following after school activities, until the correct person arrive to collect the pupil. The duties of supervisory staff e.g. Teaching Assistants are to make themselves familiar with the H+S Act and any other safety issues relevant to their area of work. The School treats Health and Safety seriously, from the playground to the classrooms, the people in the setting are made aware of the risks and told that possible risks are also laminated and put on the walls as an extra reminder of any risks there may be.
Often responsible for a curriculum area and/or specific areas of school management. Head teacher Has overall responsibility of the school, its staff, pupils and the education they receive. How does a team support the school According to an old cliché ‘there is no “I” in team’, which reminds us all of the importance of working together, sharing responsibilities and maintaining a balance of the different roles within the team. Common goals and beliefs in the team help us to- improve educational standards of the school by helping children in studies. encourage good relationships promote good community makes target achievement
