A Boring Classroom Analysis

An enthusiastic teacher can easily motivate students to learn because of the passion and drive he/she brings to the class. Such a teacher is also warm and humorous, which students will find encouraging. That might make them want to go the extra mile because the teacher is supportive of them through the feedbacks and scaffoldings he/she gives. However, students often relate much better to their teachers when they believe that he/she is credible, is concerned about their success and has high expectations from them.

One thing that makes a class great to me is having a teacher who loves what he/she teaches. Being able to ask your teacher questions when necessary and knowing that they will gladly answer your questions make the learning experience enjoyable. Another thing that makes a class great is having a chance to interact with other students. I know that being online it is hard to have the interaction you would in a classroom, but in my last English class we got involved with other students through editing of papers, giving feedback, and having a DB that was for interaction of all students and the teacher about any questions or concerns we

As you are reading this, you are probably sitting in a chair slouched over your desk, starting to get very uncomfortable. Well what if there was a solution to that problem that could be fixed by adding a little height to the mix.

“I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls” -Martin Luther King Jr (“Quotes about Racism”). In the Darkroom: a memoir in black and white, Lila Quintero Weaver and her family “immigrated from Buenos Aires to Marion, Alabama,in 1961, to a part of the fertile “black belt” region of the state, known for its slave-holding cotton plantation legacy” (Rosenburg). Lila wrote The Darkroom as an adult reminiscing about how the events of the Civil Rights era in America influenced her adult years. Lila portrayed evidences of racism throughout The Darkroom by making the cover page and the pictures used throughout the story in black and white; the complex issues between blacks and whites

The article “ A Classroom of One is a Community of Learners: Paradox, Artistic Pedagogical Technologies, and the Invitational Online Classroom” shines a light on how students in an online classroom can experience the feeling of being in a traditional classroom. Online learners often feel separated and alone and find themselves easily distracted without a traditional teacher in front of them. To improve that problem the educators must develop an online curriculum that encourages social interaction between the students and teachers causing them to build an online relationship. This curricula must create and invitational classroom that prevents student isolation, lack of accountability, and the perspective that the online learning environment

At John Jay, I Yelisa Luna failed below my GPA standard being that it was my first semester there and a change from whereas I was familiar to Bmcc, being comfortable and knowledgeable on the campus area. Despite the fact I enrolled in four classes, I was excited and a little nerve wracking. I took two classes online and two in person. All the professors were good but I failed short in two of the in person classes. My examination stills wasn't what I thought it would be when I had studied. My CRJ: Police and Diversity became a stressful class due to his first teaching the new topic for the first time,however the professor had stated to bear with the power points because there was plenty of information to take in. I passed the quizzes and almost passed the midterm, but the final was very hard without any view sheets given, not unlike to Bmcc professors who would give or point out what to study for and not just reading everything from chapter 1-14 for the final. Others felt that this class was also stressful on the technique it was being transferred to us most failed as well. I was given a D+ which is low for what I though I would be getting but very understanding of the

As a middle school student, school was necessary not my forte. I didn't consider myself as a bad student but then again i was not the best, I considered my self as a average student, only doing what is asked, nothing more, nothing less. Those were my middle school years. Once i hit high school I decided to change and improve on academics. In less than two years i went from finishing my 8th grade year from having a GPA that was below a 2.0 to having a 3.0 and that following year i finished my junior year with a 3.5

For learning lab I have an A+. This is one of my best classes because I do all the work needed to be done in this class. In order to keep doing well I'll keep doing my work in class. Sometimes I get distracted in this class because of certain people who are really annoying to me and I get upset and I can't focus on my work. However, I also distract myself because I talk to friends in class.

In the United States, modern day education seems to expect students to know material before the material is even provided and taught. The future of America depends on education. The brain is adapting and storing all of the great information being taught in the first quarter of someone 's life. I am a strong believer that no matter what the material if the teacher is entertaining and lively, students will enjoy the topic more. In today 's society students are distracted with all kinds of technology; teachers are competing for students attention. That is why I think it is imperative to provide the students with teachers that interact with students, genuinely enjoy teaching and want their students to succeed. Students are often stuck with many boring teachers who read out of the book and expect the students to regurgitate the information on an assessment. This could be beneficial for some students, but others need interaction, pictures, and aid from the teacher, even possibly some instilled confidence.

While my teacher and I did have our struggles I did learn a lot from her. I will use some of her techniques in my future classroom. One of them is at the beginning of each day she allowed that students time to talk. Along with get out all of the materials they need for the class that day. I came up with an idea during this time when I was with her to play a “Name that Song” game with the students. This was a great way for them to use comprehension skills with songs they love to listening to. I also loved how during the week she has an agenda paper hung up in her classroom. During the week students can write down any concerns or things they would like to change about the classroom. Then at the

I am extremely sorry for my inappropriate actions that negatively affected your ability to run the classroom effectively. I understand you concerns due to the inability of knowing where I was to assure my safety. I apologize for breaking the rules that are in place to keep every student at Vero Beach High School safe and secure. It was very rude of myself to leave the classroom before asking you to complete work in another classroom. It was inappropriate of me to create a disruption and concern in the classroom. I acknowledge my wrongdoings negatively affected you and the school because my location was unknown. I understand that I fall under the rules that are set for the entire school. My actions were extremely juvenile and disrespectful to

The other major form of communication came from a daily sheet for parents. Each classroom had their own unique daily sheet. The rookie room (where I completed my practicum), had a daily sheet that included what the children had eaten and how much, diapering times and nap time. There was also a space for the teachers to write what the children did that day. A little over halfway through my practicum, I worked with another teacher in jump starting the idea of using a Mobile App for the daily sheets. My last week at the practicum, it was finally being introduced to the last classroom! The parents in my classroom, loved the idea the day it was introduced. They loved the idea of getting updates instantly and even added pictures of their children throughout their workday.

Throughout my high school years I have chosen classes that challenge me that are graduation requirements and that

Learning, as defined by Slavin (2012), is “a change in an individual caused by experience” (p. 116). Learning can occur intentionally or unintentionally. All learning, however, is stimulated by something that is the learner (student) has encountered. As an instructor, your goal every day is to use the right stimuli to capture the student’s attention so they can absorb the knowledge you are trying to share.

Another point that makes a good teacher would be his/her patience. Teachers should not get upset or even worse, give up on the students who are not so strong in their studies. Instead, they should have the patience to slowly coach them, give them extra lessons, and find different ways to encourage them. Let them know that the teacher
