Classroom Observation
Each different classroom has different rules and behavior settings in their classrooms. The atmosphere of the classroom has a lot to do with student behavior. The setting of the classroom should be appealing to the teacher and in some cases the students. All teachers should let students know specific do's and don'ts of the classroom. Which behaviors are expected or desired and which will not be tolerated in the class, Ms. Colombara?s rules are fair and respectful to the class. They insist of no food and drinks in the classroom but sometimes the teacher bends the rules and lets students quickly munch down an orange or a small granola bar. During the classroom break stay in the class and under no circumstances leave the classroom without your student handbook with you. Absolutely no uses of swear words in the classroom but some are used when the class is doing readings from novels. Treat any teachers on call the same respect, as you would treat a regular staff at Sullivan Heights Secondary. …show more content…
Colombara likes to knag at kids is to not to eat or drink in the classroom. Nobody blames her because there could be some spills or crumbs on the ground and no teacher likes to go as a janitor at the end of the class and pick up junk left by the students in the classroom. The teacher also doesn?t like gum or any type of candy because sometime kids leave the gum underneath the desk and that is horrific and gross. Also some students like to put the gum on the ground and when a fellow student walks with over it, it sticks underneath their shoe and it?s a pain to clean up. She will only allow water only if it?s in a sealed bottle like a water bottle or a Gatorade® bottle, something that has a lid on it so if it does get bumped off the desk nothing will

    The school rules were displayed throughout he classroom while I was on practical experience and it was evident that the teacher was respected in the classroom. The rules were short and brief “Rules that are expressed with a series of ‘don’t” instructions do not actually describe the correct behaviour you want to see (Evertson and Emmer. 2009)” but more or less act as warnings or signals to the students. The teacher had at the beginning of the year had extensive discussion on the class rules and expectations. “Rules should be reasonable – discuss the reasons the reasons for the rules with the students explain why consequences for the rules apply” (Evertson and Emmer. 2009).…

    Making telephone calls and chasing up students keeps them up-to-date and interested in their learning, but they must not feel harassed or intruded upon. A teacher must be approachable, caring and understanding, but not overfriendly. Whilst I hold a position of authority and should be committed and engaged, I must remain professional, with a degree of detachment, must show compassion but must not get emotionally involved. I should be aware of situations that could be misinterpreted or manipulated and preferably never be left alone with a single learner in a classroom, especially of the opposite sex. Also, I should avoid touching students unless this is a specific requirement of the course, and refrain from giving out my personal contact details such as e-mail address, which might be misused on social networks like Facebook. Equality and diversity is a key consideration, and my personal views on very delicate subjects like politics or religion should never be expressed. A tutor is a mentor, a supporter and an educator.…

    The teacher ignored most of what was going on and mostly focused on teaching what she was obligated to do for the day with no disregard to the students that wanted to learn. I found that there was a lack of classroom management for the same reasons as the climate. No assertion in rules, no discipline, no rewards, and not trying to get the class out of there cliques to work with others. What I learned from observing this class is to make sure there is always classroom involvement and to communicate with the students.…

    Information processing has two areas: innate ability and acquired knowledge (Bee & Boyd, 2010). A lower IQ can compensate for acquired knowledge. People with higher IQ’s will perform better than a person with a lower IQ. This also applies to student learning. Children with a lower IQ need effective strategies for processing information. These students have to acquire a vast amount of information on any subject before they can perform as well as their peers with higher IQs.…

    For my classroom observation, I chose to observe two classrooms with teachers I do not work with at my current job Bobbie Smith Elementary in Long Beach, CA. My area of interest is elementary, I chose to observe a Kindergarten and Second grade classroom. Although I prefer to teach a Kindergarten class and not go over the Second grade, I know that teachers never get a pick of what grades you teach sometimes. So I am glad that I am able to gain experience in each grade level.…

    Officer safety, movement and use of physical space has been preached to students from semester one and it was not until this class that brought its importance to light. In this class, we are able to put everything we have learned in theory from our first semester to now in our forth semester into practical real-world scenarios. During the first round of scenario testing I observed a group that had a male and female officer they were on duty and had calls of a homeless man lingering around the ATM machine asking people for money as they were withdrawing funds. During the scenario, the officers failed to scan the area for any weapons that could be potentially dangerous to them or anyone else. I learned when they did not incorporate the interview…

    Giftedness is asynchronous development in which advanced cognitive abilities and heightened intensity combine to create inner experiences and awareness that are qualitatively different from the norm. This asynchrony increases with higher intellectual capacity. The uniqueness of the gifted renders them particularly vulnerable and requires modifications in parenting, teaching, and counseling in order for them to develop optimally. In observing a resource room teacher gifted learner at the elementary and middle school level I found in the classroom bulletin boards, computers, visual aids, posters and many different kinds of books.…

    During my first round of practicum, I went to a kindergarten classroom with around 20 to 25 students in the classroom. I went to Miller Elementary and Mrs. Schuchard was my cooperative teacher. I walked in and was immediately placed with students to work with. In the morning the students were working on their daily five and phonics. One thing that I observed that I found very interesting is that the teacher had two rug areas for meetings. When she needed to teach the children for a longer period of time, she would tell them to move over to the other area in order to make them have a brain break and then refocus. It was very interesting to see how effective just a little amount of movement was for these kindergarteners.…

    “In an effective classroom students should not only know what they are doing. They should also know why and how.” Harry Wong is an educational speaker that tries to help teachers be able to not only educate their students, but also teach them how to comprehend and logically think. Even at Tell City Jr.-Sr. High School, there are a variety of different types of teachers; moreover, this affects the atmosphere of their classrooms. Many outsiders may see our school as boring and being the same as any old school. For the students, every single classroom has a different atmosphere that they either love or greatly dislike.…

    S has been teaching for over fifteen years and has a lot of experience in managing a classroom. While observing her I noticed many techniques she has learned to use over the years of teaching. When the students are doing group work, Mrs. S always circulates around the room to help with spelling big science words and to make sure the class is on task. Mrs. S expects a lot out of her students and they know to respect her at all times, or they will be sent to another classroom. When teaching new things to the students, she always brings back things they have already mastered and tries to tie in more than one subject. One neat technique she uses—in order to keep the class quite, since she has to teach two grades—is in word problems for math. What Mrs. S does is has the students read the problem then show with their hand what type of arithmetic they will use to solve the problem. If the student gets it right she nods, and if they get it wrong she has them read the problem again but closer. When timing the students for times table tests and/or quick writes she watches the…

    The first week in which I observed Mrs.Childs class I seen how her classroom environment is. The room in itself is very colorful, bright and exciting. It is a very welcoming space. Some of the ways that it is welcoming is her word wall, each letter with words is a different color, she displays work in which the students have successfully completed and would be a good example for other students to see, and one last way in which her classroom is welcoming is each student has a job, so everybody feels as if they are a part of the bigger system.…
