Outcome 1
1.1 Before Monday’s maths lesson started I met with the teacher and planned for today’s lesson. We evaluated what had happened, planned what we wanted to happen and then the fun bit teaching.

We talked about two children who are finding maths hard. First of all we decided to move two children, who I noticed were copying each other’s work. In their new seats they couldn’t copy anyone, I then handed out the maths books and asked them to turn to the correct page and write today’s date, while the teacher was trying to get her board to work.

I then had to keep my eye on these two children throughout maths, to see how they coped on their own and make sure no one else was helping them. I floated between them both, checking their work and rewarding them with a tick and a smiley face, also a verbal well done good work.

1.2 Being positive, consistent and enthusiastic.
Iam able to explain to the children instructions very clearly, if iam not sure I would ask another member of staff.

Iam good at organising, good at listening and helping children.

I feel that my strengths impact on the support that I can provide in a positive way because I am a positive and enthusiastic person. I find this usually encourages the children to approach their work and be this way themselves.

Maths is my weakness, but working in a year 4 class I find it quite easy, iam learning with the children. If iam not sure I ask the teacher.

1.5 Before the lesson I make sure each child has a white board on their table, it’s useful when they watch films they can make notes to help with their work.

Outcome 2
2.2 Two children in my class need 1 to 1 help. One girl is Portuguese and the boy has dyslexia. We leave the class room to work in the shared area. I ask them questions about their work, try and get them to make up their own sentence, then I write it on the whiteboard for them to copy into their books. When we have finished the children take

    A couple of the children appeared to have a greater knowledge of money and addition so whilst the rest of the table continued to discuss money I asked the remaining two to work out bigger sums i.e: how many 1 pence pieces were in two 10 pence pieces and how many 2 pence pieces made up 10 pence. Also how many 5 pence pieces were in 20 pence. I monitored their ability to count up in twos and fives they both…

    The students have done a lot of researching with the iPads as well as with the in class library about westward expansion. The teacher did a read aloud about the transcontinental railroad and had a discussion with students about why the transcontinental railroad played an important role in the westward expansion. One student believed that trains had always existed, but the teacher explained that trains were actually constructed in the 1800s. The teacher told the students to write down a few new facts they had just learned about the transcontinental railroad and asked for volunteers to share. As each student shared she wrote down the notes on the ELMO for students to copy down in case they had not chosen that as one of their facts. Following…

    The teacher sent us, Mark and Sebastian to work at a table in the back of the classroom. I think she did that so we would not interfere with the rest of the class. We worked on math and writing. We did not have any problems solving the math questions. Instead the students seemed to be happy that I could help them individually. Both Mark and Sebastian were quiet and respectful. Mark had concentration problems; for example, while we were doing the math assignment that he had from last week, he suddenly wanted to talk about his toys or any other thing but math. Sebastian on the other hand, was quiet and seemed like he has hearing problems.…

    While Mrs. Corcoran and I discussed about the lesson, we went over last minute details before Maercker Intermediate School’s spring break and the rest of my spring break. Mrs. Corcoran reassured me she will respond to her emails over break to discuss about the co-taught lesson. Mrs. Corcoran approves and enjoys the idea of having students focus on both social skills and math goals throughout this lesson. I learned collaborating with others can be quite nervous racking, but I have full confidence Mrs. Corcoran and I can teach this lesson, and work with another class.…

    Formerly, I didn’t allow the children to negotiate the language of mathematics as deeply as I do now. I didn’t allow children to explore as many vehicles of language as I do now. I didn’t understand how important it was to broaden my understanding of the word “text” and to use that knowledge to explicitly teach how to decipher graphs and charts and other math organizers the way I do now. I was pleasantly surprised to discover how much the students enjoyed and learned from working thoughtfully on paper, then sharing their ideas with their shoulder partners, the group, and with me. It was impressive to me how their precision in communicating mathematically improved with this more efficient practice.…

    From my view based on the reading, I found that professional special educators are guided by the CEC, ECSE practice standers in many ways that show respect different characteristics and needs of individuals with exceptionalities. Professional special educators implement these standers in order to get effective learning environments for individuals with exceptionalities. Also, they will have a successful classroom by following these standards during the days. A professional practice could happen by implementing an effective communication method with the exceptionalities and their families to facilitate the difficulties that may face in their life. Additionally, Professional special educators, practice every day their roles to understand the diversity of cultures, characteristics and background of the individuals with exceptionalities, so they contribute an essential role in learning process and build a positive environment for the individuals with exceptionalities. Professional special educators should be…

    I had always thought of myself as good with kids, so I decided to try participate in Tuesday Night Tutoring, a program hosted by my school aimed at helping children to read. I naively believed that I could give them a few tips I used when I first learned to read, and at the same time help them to absorb some information from the practice readings, but reality fell very far short of my hopes. I struggled both to convince the children that they were mispronouncing several words and that my pronunciations were any better, and my efforts to explain the meaning of various words only necessitated additional definitions. If they believed me, the children would usually forget everything within a week. I continued trying for almost twenty hours of reading tutoring,…

    It is Available in ‘Appendices two’. The activity ‘Bee-bots’ was based on development and interests, and was a mathematical activity. Before the activity was planned, I discussed with the teacher who she thought I could plan this activity for, she helped me choose four children from the middle ability group. I looked at their trackers of development in mathematics, enabling myself to plan according to needs and differentiation. After this I observed the children to discover their interests. During the observation all four children were in the book corner taking turns to tell each other the story ‘The Gruffalo’. They were acting out the story, each being one character from the story. From this I decided to design a map that would be based around the Gruffalo. For this activity I tried to challenge the children and used differentiation. To use a bee-bot children need to understand how to program them. They can either be programmed step by step or the whole sequence in one go. I started the children off by asking them to program it step by step, and gradually programming the whole sequence. A theorist named Jerome Bruner stated that teachers need to offer appropriate challenges, suitable materials and encouragement such as relevant language and sustained shared thinking. (Clemson and Clemson, 1994). After I had finished the activity I left it out and supported other children…

    Grinning faces greeted me as I entered the room, “We did it!”, exclaimed Aidan and Harry. After a semester of tutoring two ‘failing’ students at a local school, it was fantastic feeling knowing they had passed their GCSE Math. They had surpassed their expectations and it was humbling to know that my two hours each week with them had played a small part in their success. Due to class sizes of up to fifty, students would switch off and consequently slip behind in their math lessons. I aimed to make my teaching sessions as engaging as possible by showing them the real world applications of what they were learning, to show my tutees that math wasn’t, but a deeply interesting subject and proficiency in it could unlock many opportunities for them…

    The teacher then explained to me that at the end of the month the table with the highest number of points gets a prize (stickers, pencils, erasers). During my observation I was able to see how the class work most of the time independently and how the teacher lectured the whole class. He explained the activities and went to the back of the classroom where there is a desk with a couple of chairs one for the teacher and one for a child. He uses this area to review homework and works with students who have questions. Mr. Garcia was covering almost the same topics than in the special education classroom, but more complex and independently. The class is learning the time tables too, but they are already working with the time table number 12, while in special education the class was working in different tables according to the children capability. Mr. Garcia’s class is dynamic full of energy. The class is counting money to but using word problems. There is a lot of critical thinking in this class. The children must use their own words to retell a story. They are using brain storm ideas, web maps, and prewriting to create a…
