Clinical Field Experience C: Classroom Management & Engagement Annaleise Diaz College of Education, Grand Canyon University SEC-510: Creating and Managing Engaging Learning Environments Dr. Marsha James March 25, 2024

1 For my last observation I went to Our Lady of Perpetual Help private school. This private catholic school teaches students ranging from preschool to eighth grade. While I was there I was given the opportunity to observe three different classrooms, Mr. Zarate for religion, Mrs. Davis for math and Mrs. Key for social studies. In each classroom I noticed how each teacher had a different classroom management style. The first teacher I observed was Mr. Zarate’s seventh and eighth grade religion class.

Mrs. Davis was a teacher I found very interesting when using strategies to engage the students. When observing her classroom, she used rewards to get her students to become engaged in her lessons. An example I saw was during their review she would ask them a question about what they have learned and if they got it right or tried to answer it to the best of their ability then they were rewarded with a piece of candy. As for how classroom expectations, routines, and procedures are introduced and reinforced I felt it was important to highlight Mr. Zarate’s experience. When students come in they are expected to come in quietly and prepare their desks for the day. Once Mr. Zarate is ready to begin class, he will ring a bell and the class then gives him their full attention. If this does not work the first time he will then ask them to
