I noticed an Accelerated Reading section in the back corner of the room where students could take tests without being interrupted by other students. There were several different academic posters all over the walls for students to reference to during lessons. I noticed a small group section in the front of the classroom where two students were sitting during my observation. The classroom rules were posted on the side wall where students were easily able to see them. The organization of the room allowed for successful learning and definitely attributed to successful classroom management.
Inclusion of all students is important. If they feel intimidated in class they can come to me afterwards and ask a question in private. If they leave my class happy, I feel they have learnt something. It is very important for the students to know they have the support of the teacher and feel confident in the knowledge that any information given to the teacher is treated in
Everyone has had a teacher that they loved when they were younger, they would wake up for school and be excited to go and learn. As a result of liking your teacher you also did better in that class. On the other hand everyone has had a teacher that they absolutely hated. It makes you wonder how did they ever got that job as being a teacher in the first place? Almost anyone could become a teacher.
spelling, capitalization, punctuation, agreement, pronoun usage, sentence structure). 3. Preparation (readings, field work, etc.) - Preparation for all classes is evident. Students participate regularly contributing ideas to class discussions that demonstrate careful reading of assigned texts and articles, attention to audio or video tapes or other media assigned, and engagements in interviews, observations, or any other in-class or out-of-class activities assigned.
Some schools’ mission statement is the modern equivalent to a motto. “Although our pupils achieve well, we are interested in more than just results. We aim to provide an inspiring, stimulating and enjoyable education for all our pupils, introducing them to a wealth of exciting experiences across the whole curriculum.” How is this reflected? : The pupils’ achievements not only academic but also sporting, artistic, performing and behaviour, both in and out of school are recognised. There is a positive culture of learning and development that is celebrated by merits, certificates, displays and praise from teaching staff.
The group of students is divided into two groups, based on their entry-level skills. Two of the students that need constant prompts or cues sit at a table with the paraprofessional. The other students are seated at tables with a peer to assist them with transitions. However, the other four are seated within proximity, to where the special education teacher sits when she is in the classroom. The student that has a calculator always keeps it on top of his table, and the paraprofessional is constantly reminding him to use it.
These peers make appointments after school with the teacher whether it’s because they didn’t understand a certain topic, for better study habits, review, etc. They are also in a study group and meet every so often with them to go over material that they don’t understand or to help others with it. Those who are serious about their education, participate in class more. They do this as a means of showing that they understand the material. In every test or quiz given to them, they get mastery or above on them because they study and read over their notes every night.
Many kids like myself are blessed with the capability to understand and remember things just by actively participating in the class discussion and listening to their teachers. In history most kids could just read the chapter and take the test right away! It just irks me to no end when
In high school I was in the future educators association. As well as the class that was involved in the group. We went to schools in our area and helped the teachers and helped us decide if teaching was right for us. This meant that we had to make lesson plans, keep peace and order in classroom, as assist students when help was needed. This was a very pleasant and unforgettable experience for me and my fellow classmates.
Response Paper #2 It is intriguing how when we look at something or someone, we immediately form a good or bad opinion about that person or thing. As humans, this is natural but too many times the perception we have of someone ends up being wrong. I remember my first year here at this university, I took a Multiculturalism class with Professor Covert and the first day of class he said, “What comes to your mind when you look at me?” I never thought such words would come out of my professor’s mouth and many students thought that it was a joke, but to play along with Professor Covert, we participated in the activity. “Hippie,” “homeless,” “weird/different” and “poor” were some of the words that came out of my classmates’ mouths. At first I was
