Classroom Reflection

to extreme climate change. In this reflection, I will give a brief description of the physical arrangements in the physical education classroom inside. I will then give a description of routines and procedures. Next, I will talk about one of the instructors grouping strategies and activities that stuck out to me the most. Finally, I will speak about one change I would make, and why I would make that change. To begin with, the inside physical education classroom is extremely small. Normally there

decision-making process was for the class: The structure of the classroom is designed about an enclosed four wall space, where each breadth is shorter and deeper than the one before, is claustrophobic and impossible. The state has indoctrinated us to believe that the optimal learning experience is held inside impacted classrooms that have a disproportionate teach to student ratio. This phenomenon is clearly seen in our own classroom, where the own classroom that we are assigned for the quarter was specifically

enduring question is how to analyze perspective from different view points. To be a successful citizen in a diverse and democratic society, analysis of different view points is essential, so is the ability to collaborate with different people. In this classrooms, learners showed that they understood the concept that different people have different view points. The students also demonstrated they were able to work in a team setting. 2) What are some other learning goals and how students are doing in term

This movie, The Classroom, which was very interesting to watch, discusses all that goes on in the school system, the good and the bad. But it also shows how things at home can affect the way the student acts during the school day. This movie definitely makes you look at students that act out differently, instead of punishing them maybe we should all look deeper into the issue and find a way for the student to thrive and use school as an outlet. The Classroom shows all the issues in the school system

Here is a quote taken directly from the teacher’s webpage on the school website that can help get a better feel for the classroom setting I was in: “ I am a Special Education teacher working with students with moderate to severe disabilities in a specialized academic classroom at San Elijo Middle School. Within my program students are taught functional academic skills, communication skills, life skills, social development, vocational skills and skills that will help to enable them to become as independent

Before class even began, there I was, making predictions about how this group of students were going to act during class – it was clear from the beginning that they knew how they were to present themselves in that class. As the students came into the classroom, the teacher greeted them all individually, fist bumping some, inquiring about the personal lives of others. It was a very pleasant environment; the students were courteous to their teacher and upon getting to their seats immediately opened up their

The steps I have taken up to this point: 1. I start off by greeting each student at the door. I am setting the tone that this is a supportive classroom environment. 2. I have predetermined classroom assigned seats. 3. I start every lesson with bell work. We learn the routine of what to do when entering the classroom, this consistency is effective to get them quietly and immediately working. 4. I have set positive expectations, intertwined with our procedures. My expectations are less of demands

As part of the district’s goal to increase student engagement in the classroom, teachers are asked prioritize relationships when handling discipline rather than to use solely punitive measures. To support this initiative, the district has called upon Dr. JoAnn Freiberg from the State Department of Education. For the past two years, Dr. Freiberg has provided training to all administrators and any new teacher entering the district. The idea is to create the capacity amongst staff to use strategies

two students typically need extra accommodations with different work whether its math or science. I will refer to these students throughout this journal entry as Student A and Student B for the benefit of the students. When I first entered the classroom I would not have suspected many disabilities but after I was able to work with Student A and Student B independently I was able to see their different strengths and weaknesses. Student A is very quiet and prefers to get her work done but is slower

so much boring. I like the video clip of the technology that I was presenting. It was a good length and clear audio that was easily understood at the back of the class. 2. I could have prepped better. Possibly do a dry run in the empty classroom prior to the class to work on the layout and timing. Adjust the slides so they are timed better. Adjust the slide size so they will be easier to look at from the student's perspective. It is important that the audiences focus is on the presentation
