Classroom Observation

The teacher demonstrated her patience by helping the student with his presentation and not hurrying him or making it seem like she was just ready to get it over with. I also learned that students respond to positive emotions sent their way. Another one of the things that I thought she did that was important was changing her lesson so that the students that were not interacting with other students on their own could feel included. I believe that may be the most important of all the aspects of the emotional regulation she chose to use. I know I will definitely be using her “student artwork” idea throughout my classroom as well as having a calendar to celebrate student birthdays so as to not make any feel left out. Overall I enjoyed this observation because I related to it some with my past and I know if I had a teacher like her in my life, I may have developed differently in a more positive light. The reason why I want to be a teacher is to make a difference in children’s lives just like my observation teacher has done in her classroom and continues to do every

Observations at Columbia High School were collected in the Student Services department for 9th and 10th graders in the Huntsville City Schools (HCS) district. Students enrolled in this self-contained, special needs unit are supported by a curriculum design with prevocational transition targets.

During the observation of Morning Meeting, I noticed that my mentor teacher separated the children by gender when the calendar helper counted the number of boys and the girls in the classroom. My mentor teacher asked the calendar helper to have either the boys or girls stand up first to be counted. When the children are getting ready to go outside or to the bathroom, the teacher has also the boys and girls in separate lines. I felt that there were other characteristics for the teacher to separate the children. For example, she could she could have asked the children stand up or line up based on their eye color, hair color, the color of their clothing, their favorite animal, or even the first letter of their name. If my teacher broadened the

At the end of the lesson Students are going to be able to describe where they live using the verb "vivir" and "tener" in Spanish. During unit two, they been using the these verbs and in the beginning of the lesson they answer the "Do NOw" activity where I asked then: ?Donde tu vives? They answer the question in Spanish and used the verb in the correct tense. After that, they answer a listening question where they had to identify the part of the house using the vocabulary proposed at the beginning of the lesson. Finally, they started a project where they had to create a Floor plan and describe their ideal house. For this activity, they have to use the verb "tener" in present tense. The completion of these activities ensures the acquisition of the new vocabulary and the verbs tense. It is important to mention, that this lesson will continue next week because students need more time to complete their DOL activity.

Ms. Nelson is a second grade teacher at ABC Elementary. Ms. Nelson was self-referred as she was concerned about her student’s engagment. She was observed on 02/25/2016 using the Direct Behavior Rating- Classroom Management: external Rater Form (DBR – CM ER) for 20 minutes. The DBR – CM ER involves the observer recording ratings in five categories: classroom structure, praise, communication, enthusiasm, and rapport. During the beginning of the observation, Ms. Nelson’s students were seated on a carpet, and she was reading a story and discussing it with the students. After the students completed their reading activity, they were split into stations. The students either went to an independent math station, computerized reading station, guided reading station with the teacher, or spelling station.

In Shannock Valley Elementary School, all of the classrooms are very welcoming along with the staff. My cooperating teacher’s classroom is very student friendly and is rich for student learning. Regarding behavior in the classroom, my teacher encourages the use of the clip chart. This is where students can monitor their behavior for the day and either clip up or down based on their behavior. If they are doing a great job or answer a question correctly, she will have them clip up. If they are talking while the teacher is talking or not following directions after being told, they will be asked to clip down. Many students become upset when they have to clip down. An example of this happened when I was grading all of the student’s homework that they had turned in that morning and out of the twenty students in the class, only eight had

Conducting classroom observations are very important to the prospective teacher. Observing helps show how experienced teachers manage their classroom. For this observation it was important to notice how the classroom was arranged, how the teacher interacted with the students, the teacher’s management style, and interview the teacher.

I conducted my observations at the HUB, outside where the tables are located. I decided upon this location due to its large size, alongside the fact that it is placed in a spot where most people have to pass by while walking to class. Additionally, I decided to sit outside the HUB rather than inside due to the fact that I would be exposed to more people, sounds, and smells; I would be out in the open rather than a closed setting. Almost every UCR faculty member takes pride in mentioning how diverse the UCR campus is, however, I had not truly recognized how diverse the campus is until I sat down and focused on observing other people. I noticed people of all sizes, skin colors, hair types, speaking a wide array of different languages and eating

The background and foundation of the study is based off of several research studies on classroom environments in Kindergarten Classroom. The approach was adopted by NICHD SECC in kindergarten and preschool programs. The research discovered the high correlation between teacher interactions, classroom environment, and student achievement. The research was the basis for this particular research.

Classroom observation is a main approach of teaching research. Scholars or researchers use video to record the real whole class and observe the teachers and students’ actions, words and the efficiency in the class. Though the observation, they analyze what approach is more suitable. This paper will select video 5 and video 3 as the material to do the classroom observation. Different aspects such as teachers’ responds, questions, instructions notes and students’ behavior will be addressed to analyze the efficacy of this class.
