Observing in classrooms provide future teachers many opportunities to gain valuable experience in a real classroom. I completed my observation hours at two schools, Sandlick Elementary and L.F. Addington Middle school. All the teachers I observed were very nice and helped me in any way they could. Because I observed at two schools I was able to see the difference in the approach and learning of material from elementary to middle school. I have gained valuable information from observing, which will
grade classroom. Her classroom is located within Donahue Academy which is located in Ave Maria, Florida. The classroom had a total of 14 students. The children cover every basic subject everyday such as science, math, writing, reading, and they also practice their handwriting. Since this is a Catholic school the children also have daily mass along with daily religion studies. When I first walked into the classroom the children were hard at work. They were all spread throughout the classroom sitting
On October 13th, 2017, I went to observe Mr. R a science teacher at Governor Thomas Johnson High School, with an amazing personality and a well liked attitude. Walking into the classroom toke me back to my high school days regretting how I used to which its end everyday as I attended. The location of Thomas Johnson is in Frederick, Maryland. The city of Frederick is a well diverse town, which comes out in its schools. The students have a fifth period class day, with a connect period and thirty
has flown by. As I think back on my observations, both online and in class, I feel as though I have learned quite a bit. I have gain useful knowledge about teaching and how to do an observation protocols. Now that I have acquired some of the skills needed to teach, I just need to make sure I apply it. My teaching journey at ECU is far from over, but I have left the starting line and I am moving forward. I have really enjoyed the online classroom observations this semester. I work everyday with
to do field work and observe a classroom in order to acquire the ability to recognize different behaviors, procedures, and routines. Observing allows one to witness fundamental learning strategies and child development firsthand. With that being said, on October 24, 2017, I spent my first full day at P.S. 45, formally known as John Tyler. Upon my entry into the school, I was assigned to room 213, which is a third-grade classroom General Education (General ED) classroom. Unfortunately, the cooperating
I conducted my observation at La Vina Middle School as well as Harvest Elementary in Delano California. In addition, I had the privilege to observe Mrs. Mendivil’s seventh-grade classroom, which was moderate to severe, as well as Ms. Camacho’s kindergarten classroom which was also moderate to severe. Students in both classrooms had various disabilities, however, in Ms. Camacho's classroom, the majority consisted of down syndrome as well as severe autism. In Mrs. Mendevil’s classroom, the majority
nine to twelve. Even though my focus is childhood education, it is very important to see the outcome teachers throughout the years made on the students. Getting a better insight on how students learn and think will help me for when I get into the classroom as well. Every student is unique in their own way, and that is what makes teaching so special and exciting. During my first half hour observing this class it was quite diverse. There
Observation of Classroom Mrs. McLamb, my clinical teacher, handled her class room very well. In my opinion, she was very good at managing her time. She does the same routine every day, which I think is best for managing time. When the students come in she starts them off with a challenging problem or a review problem. They are given about five minutes to do the problem while she takes attendance, then she goes over the problem. After she finishes going over the problem, she reviews previous lessons
I recently observed a second grade classroom in Coventry Village School for an hour. Through this observation I was hoping to gain a better understanding of the public school system. I had observed classrooms before, but never with guiding questions that gave me a specific focus. I learned an extensive amount about the school cultural environment, classroom cultural environment (physical and social) and about the curricula planning process. To begin, when I first walked into the school at 8 AM
The observation was conducted at P.S. 112. This school is a title one school located in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.
