Classroom Protocols Advantages And Disadvantages

A sense of order within the class can be managed by presenting lessons effectively and establishing positive relationships with pupils- based on mutual respect and rapport. I will, as a tutor, have to develop skills in managing behaviour and use a variety of tactics in order to develop an understanding of students individually and as a group. Hopefully, I will be able to combine that with the correct approach to planning, my approach, the resources to use in order to deal with barriers learners may have adopted towards learning and to maintain a good level of motivation.

The classroom is well organized and orderly. Students have a routine that is followed each morning. John’s morning activities are without disruption, the morning routine works.

In the third element of the cycle teachers may take on board many roles; from lecturer to mentor, from coach to listener, from assessor to presenter, all the while maintaining their professionalism. This goes from their day to day behaviour to (i.e.) dressing appropriately and maintaining a distance that allows for trust and respect) to being a good communicator and being prepared for the session. Each lesson should be well planned with a beginning (introduction and objectives), a middle (main body of lecture) and an end (drawing conclusions). Teachers have also the responsibility of keeping

“Give teachers the task of setting goals and strategies which they will use to minimize transitions and maximize instruction” (Time & Learning, 2011).

With differentiation in mind, I came up with a daily schedule of learning and instruction time for my students. Entry 4 artifact 3 is a copy of my daily schedule and lesson plan format for instructing my students. I begin my day of learning using whole group instruction with a whole group instruction reviewing the calendar, music/movement activity, and read aloud. During these activities, I ask the students question based upon their ability and grade level. The students are really engaged during our introduction. They get to move and meditate to reflect on their day.

In a diverse classroom each student will be attended based on their individual need and teachers will meet each child at their level. Student will be treated equally regardless of their cultural background or socioeconomic status. By providing a good classroom management system, we will have a respectful and inclusive class culture. Establishing good classroom routines is essential to creating a positive environment for students to focus on learning. The follow sections cover those routine in our class

An example of this is having students complete a bell ringer as a way to introduce the lesson, take time to take attendance, and have students interested in the lesson. Establishing classroom routines allows students to become aware of classroom tasks and establishes classroom consistency. When students are not completing classroom tasks, Ms. Boerema will asks students, “What are you doing?” calmly as a way to indirectly tell students she knows they are not completing tasks. She uses this strategies as a way to redirect students to complete tasks.

Since my time at Sparks Elementary I have only been able to observe two routines that my mentor teacher has done with the other 3rd grade teacher’s. To start off the morning, Mr.Locklear meets his class in the cafeteria to greet them before the day get’s started. The teachers then instruct the student’s to set their backpack’s in their designated area and take the materials needed for their first rotation of class. When the student’s have set there belonging’s down, the teacher’s line up the students in the middle of the common area, where the student’s will be lead to their special’s classes like Music, P.E and Art. While the student’s part take in special’s, Mr. Locklear takes care of any last minute assignment’s or note’s he need’s before he start’s teaching his first class. He also take’s part in a weekly meeting the 3rd grade teacher’s conduct to go over any announcement’s or strategies. Once the student’s come back from special’s, Mr.Locklear starts off his math lesson with Mrs. Sanchez classroom. As soon as the student’s enter the class, they are instructed to take out their journal’s and engage with what the teacher is teaching for the first 10 minutes of class. In those first few minutes of class Mr. Locklear introduces the topic or objective that the students will be learning and engages them to participate in the examples he places on the permithian board. He then has the student’s break up into group’s to do their daily math station’s. While some student’s do

class without any of these they will not be successful in the class. If a teacher comes to

Moving ahead with the school day, there will be recess for younger students (ages between five and ten) at least twice a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and there will be a break after lunch for the older students (ages ten to eighteen) for about forty-five minutes in order to burn some energy and keep the brain active and moving. Students will be able to let the imagination play during these breaks and come back to a non-traditional classroom setting. Students will be learning through activities, hands on approaches, and dramatic and active approaches into each lesson. The objective is for every student to learn in a way that is conducive for his or her success.

When the student arrives into the classroom they should enter quietly, get their work from their cubbies, and wait patiently on the teacher to give instructions if not told before they sit down in a seat on the correct side of the room. When class starts they will start off with a warm up on the lesson that is planned for the day/week or review from the previous lesson to make sure everyone is on the right place. No one will be judged on their class work from other peers that are in the group as well. As a class they will learn to help each other when he or she is struggling or behind on a lesson. After all the class work is done they can go use the restroom if need be, but if not, they are to work on their sight words, read a book, or to finish up any work for a different class that needs to be complete. Reason for the warmups and the extra reading I want to encourage the students to improve their reading and math skills, so they can improve their testing scores, so they will not have sit in another classroom without their

The first setting I observed was a Pre-Kindergarten setting. The first thing I noticed was how the teacher set up routines for her students. These routines can include hanging up their coat\ backpack, placing their lunches in a bin and starting their morning work for the day. The teacher assigns her students morning work and this week’s included writing practice. Each child was given a sheet of paper to trace with their name on it. Many of the students came into the classroom late, which gave the students a disadvantage because it did not allow them enough time to finish their work. After their morning work, the class met for a morning meeting. Morning meeting usually includes the discussion of the months of the year, days of the week, the weather, songs about what they have

Upgrading data communication in the classroom would be an appropriate technological advantage because research indicates that broadband and cloud computing are transforming education. The outdated teaching tools that we grew up with (i.e. chalkboards and hardback books) are now being replaced with interactive digital content delivered through high-speed broadband using blackboard and e-books. This means elementary school students can explore the surface of the sun through high-definition video as they learn about the solar system. Furthermore, middle school children can experience history lessons through interactive videos and high school students can discover geometry through gaming (Robyler, M. D. & Edwards, J., 2000, p. 79). Consequently, accessing broadband for digital learning is a necessity for students to have a chance to compete in todays’ technological society. From a pedagogical standpoint, updating communications in the classroom creates an environment of enrichment and engages students actively in the learning process. Upgrading the data communications in the classroom from a programmatic perspective enables students and teachers to quickly access the database, monitor seismographic data, and establish electronic pen pals in Latin America (Picciano, 2011, p. 110).

A huge aspect of creating a effective classroom is establishing classroom routines that are beneficial for both the students and the teachers. By establishing a consistent and predictable routine serves a number of classroom functions. In my current practicum placement every period taught in my classroom follows the same routine. It is important that students have structure within their classroom

I plan on having a few classroom routines incorporated into my class such as, weekly classroom meeting, placing coats and other personal items in your cubby every morning, the election of student of the week every Friday during the classroom meeting, using a specific song of a certain length during station changing time, the proper way to line up, classroom clean up at the end of every day, and many more. I believe that all of these routines should be taught at the beginning of the year and rehearsed and practiced. Throughout the year students should be reminded of proper routines and when they are struggling to do a routine fluidly it should be reviewed and practiced again. This will create a
