Classroom Observation Paper

Young women are becoming increasingly aware of how they are being perceived by others and today it is ultra common for young women to hear about the negative sides of their gender. As young women grow older and start to consider possible career choices they also start to hear certain opinions on their choices and some even experience actual discrimination. “High-school girls who pursue an advanced interest in science and math (unless they are students at special institutions like the Bronx Highs School of Science where everyone is a brain) usually find that they are greatly outnumbered by boys in their classes. They are, therefore, intruding on male turf at a time when their sexual confidence, as well as that of the boys, is most fragile” (). In situations like these some young women may develop a fear of their male counterparts due to the ratio involved and others may also consider the stereotype that women are bad and math and that threat ultimately becomes a self fulfilling

This week I did both an interview and a small observation of my third grade host teacher's classroom. I was first able to interview my host teacher. Miss A does use many of the techniques for teaching words that were listed on my observation form. Specifically she uses crossword puzzles, dramatizing, word sorts, possible sentences and dictionaries. She also uses many techniques that are not listed on the observation sheet as well. She does a lot of repetition with her students. She has them right there words in rainbow colors, in vowels and consonants colors, in alphabetical order and many more that I didn't see. Miss a believes that " they are all useful for different students. Some students feel like crosswords are helpful and others feel like pictures are helpful" () I would completely agree with her statement in this regard. I do think it's good to have many different options for the many different students you have in your class. Miss a believed that there were a lot of benefits to wide reading. She make sure that the children are provided with a variety of texts especially her students who are ELL students. She mention specifically that it "helps build their schema for Content areas such as social studies and science and the vocabulary that goes with that."()

On Thursday, November 3, 2016, at approximately 10:51AM, I, Officer Larry Thomas was dispatched to Hooper, right at the bus stop, in reference to two males fighting.

This classroom was very organized and it did have a lot of things labeled. I recognized that the teacher had a lot of things in her classroom labeled. She had words like door on the door in the classroom. She used a lot of bright colors. I also recognized that the teacher did a lot of one-on-one with her students. For example, she did very small group activities and a lot of the activities consist of one-on-one activities. She allowed the children to experiment with the project. She stated that she like to have children to participate in morning discussion. This time allows her to introduce the new letter of the week. She believes that children learn a lot of literacy through song and dancing. The children would sing the songs as they played in the classroom. Some of them would dance to music.

The classroom observed for this assignment was a 4/5 year old (pre-kindergarten/kindergarten) room in a local day care. After researching the correlation between play, development, and diversity, many realizations came to light. First, there are different stages of play and they all correlate with the developmental stages. Then, diversity is found in every classroom, either positively or negatively effecting the room. Educators who are flexible with change and comprehends the levels of development for children are expected to create a positive and effective learning environment filled with play-based activities. Below show three scenarios of classrooms from infants, toddlers, and preschool/kindergarten room.

I observed at a daycare called Children's house, I have observed here before and I know the teachers very well. I interviewed a teacher that was formally called Ms. A now called Ms. C who has been working there for 10 years. The Children's house is a private, suburban daycare with 20 children. The room that I observed in is a 3 to 5 year old room. Ms. C had a lot of 3 and 4 year olds. 7 of her children are 3 year olds, 11 are 4 and only 2 are 5 year olds. in her classroom she has 4 children with speech problems and 1 child with a development delay. She has an aid named Ms. M who works with her during the day. Ms. C tries to make their jobs equal, Ms. C teaches lessons and Ms. M teaches other lessons. While they are at center time they have one teacher work on a activity and the other teacher will drift around and insure that the children are behaving well and are out of harm's way.

Interactions between groups of people at sports events, especially on college campuses, have a large presence and seem to bring groups of people together. A group in sociology can be defined as people who interact with one another and who believe that what they have in common is significant; also called a social group. The audience ranged from children to seniors, from diverse race and age, but all seemed to share multiple norms and behaviors throughout the game that were fascinating to observe. The subjects, though very diverse subgroups in the audience are being studied, held similar norms and behaviors that created a sense of community among the audience, especially when specific obvious behaviors were reciprocated

My first observation was completed by my school professor. Going into the lesson, I really was not sure what she would be looking for when observing me. I felt this was a good thing because not knowing, I just taught the way I usually do and as nervous as I was, overall I was pleased with my performance and evaluated effectiveness as a teacher.

Participants were juniors enrolled in the AP Capstone Academy at a local high school in Guilford County. The participants of the study were randomly sampled from an index of all juniors enrolled in the AP Capstone Academy at the school. All juniors were listed in alphabetical order by last name and numbered 01-59, and using a random number table, thirty students were randomly selected, with a result of __ males and __ females. The selected individuals were then numbered 01-30 and randomly assigned to their treatment group through the use of a different random number table. The first ten selected individuals were assigned to the control group, the second set of ten were assigned to the plush dog treatment group, and the remaining ten were assigned

The structure of the classroom in which I was observed in had a warm welcoming and childlike atmosphere, which every preschool or head start classroom should have. As one should enter the daycare center, the first thing that is seen at the door is a bulletin board of all the teachers and staff at the daycare. Along with that is an introduction piece of the teachers for each classroom, it talks briefly about how long the teacher has been in their profession, as well how long they have been working at the daycare center, and what they love about working at the center. As you enter the classroom, there is the office and in front the office there is the cubbies for the student to put their jacket and things of that sort. Behind the cubbies are

First through sixth grade were, hands down, the least stressful years of my life. Not for the reasons you’d think – less homework, projects, essays – but because no one recognized societies “perfect” body standard of women. Recently, things have changed. I’ve noticed my own friends identifying women in completely misogynistic and offensive ways. Most guys, not all of them, obsess about the size of a girl’s hips or butt around their friends because they think it’s going to make them “cool” or “funny”. What students in the 8th grade don’t know is that these little comments can lead the girl next to you to tear herself down for hours and stress because she’s not good enough.

I was placed in Mr. Hagemann’s 3rd grade classroom at Merrill Elementary, in Beloit, Wisconsin. After attending two class periods, I have made quite a few observations. The classroom is composed of mostly male students, but there are a few females. The ethnicity of the children range anywhere from caucasian, to African American, to hispanic; however, the vast majority is African American. Many of the students are well dressed and tidy, but there are a couple students that are dressed in clothes of poor condition.

While observing I was able to observe some of the things that the text was talking about when it comes to the student’s disability. When it came to the emotionally impaired students there, the boys did outnumber the girls in the class that had this type of disability. I was also able to see one individual externalizing his behavior and take it out on another student in the class. He was clicking a pencil against the desk, his teacher asked to stop once and he did for a little but then it picked back up, a fellow student now asked him to stop, and he yelled at him and told it wasn’t his place to ask him to stop. I also saw that when it came to having pairs, he was always the last one to get chosen. The two main goals for the educator in this

I definitely learned new things from observing a different class in a different school. I determined that private schools and public schools are very different in teaching styles. The learning environment, the different concepts, and the evaluation was definitely different from what I expected it to be. I didn’t had the best experience when observing there, but it was definitely enough for this analysis. For example, I didn’t thought that concepts such as self-efficacy, operant conditioning, and the Pygmalion effect was going to be at play. It was an eye opening observation for me because I got to observe but in a different after learning new terms and things in class.

It is really amazing how excited students get with the possiblity of using the computer in the classroom to assist them with their lesson. The teacher added that she uses it as a reward system, stating how affective it is in maintaining order and control in the classroom. Students knew how to navigate, go to various websites that were related to the lesson and create a folder in which to put their assignments in.
