On this particular day, the area was in total silence. If a student was typing up a document, everyone can hear this subtle sound. I saw all the desks were taken by some students doing various things such as: doing

Once they arrive in class, they will place the homework face down in the paper tray for the correct class period. These trays will be located at the back of the classroom and be clearly marked to ensure students are well aware of what basket is for their class. Students will be responsible for making sure that their name and the correct date is on the homework; if students do not write their name on the paper, they will not get credit for the assignment. Students who do not have their homework for whatever reason will be responsible for filling out a “missing homework” document on which they must list the class period, date and assignment missed, as well as the reason they do not have their work. Blank copies of this form will be located next to the homework tray. Once students have filled out the document, they will turn it into the tray like any other assignment. This will allow me to keep clear documentation regarding student work for future questions or concerns from parents or administrators. All of this needs to be completed before the bell rings to signal the beginning of class, as I will collect it during the first 5 minutes while students are working on bell work posted on the

Students will receive a homework sheet near the end of class with remaining time the students will be able to start homework (not as a group) and ask any questions they may have before taking the worksheet home with them.

“Class, quiet the chatter! If not, you’ll be moved to different tables.” Mr. Kenil threatened from across the classroom, adjusting his prescription glasses to give his famous evil eye to the class, especially Greenberg.

One of the best things you can do before entering the teaching business is to have experience. Throughout this course I had the chance to work in an actual classroom setting, create my own lessons and teach them to the students in the kindergarten classroom. It was an amazing experience and helped me become more comfortable working with early childhood students. Each lesson was recorded and showed my strengths and weaknesses in being in front of a classroom. The three of my strengths and what went well in my microteachings are; creativity, student engagement, and preparation. The three components that I could work on are; redirecting the students, lesson management and time management.

As I walked inside, all of the students and including the teacher sat in a circle, in the back corner of the classroom. The teacher started an activity by asking “What is the best way to start the day?” and before I knew it the entire classroom began to clap in a specific pattern. The teacher then continued, by facing the student to her right and saying “Good morning __(Students name)__”. Once

When we discuss about the interactionist (or symbolic interactionist) view in the context of educational institutions, teacher expectancy effect would be one of the major areas affecting the growth and improvement of students both in academically and in extra-curricular, mentally and physically. In other words, teacher expectancy effect is something that ties closely to the social development of the students as a whole. Teacher expectancy effect is defined as “the impact that a teacher’s expectations about a student’s performance may have on the student’s actual achievements” (Schaefer & Lamm, 1995, p. 461).

Evaluate how well you structured, directed and reinforced organizational and conduct expectations during this lesson. (5)

We should keep our mouths quite because its rude. Other people are trying to talk, and they can't say what they want to say if the whole class is talking. We need to stay quite so people can talk and. If someone is giving a presentation you wouldn’t talk. The same rules apply if someone is trying to give us directions on an assignment. It's also disruptive. If people are trying to get their work done, they need the room to be quiet. You can't focus when the whole class is being extremely loud. For example, coral and Jackie were trying to give directions on today's assignment but no one could hear because people were talking, and Trystan was on his phone saying vulgar stuff and being stupid. It's not fair to the people trying to give us directions but

Our objective this week was to observe classroom procedures. Miss. Williams expects her students to always stay on task even when she is not in the room. She anticipates that the students are quiet when they work independently and to not veer off onto another direction by talking to one another.

The teacher transitions by waiting until everyone is seated and quiet before giving instructions. Often she uses direct instruction which “focuses on the characteristics or components of the task or concept to be learned” (Gargulio 219) and gives them short instructions that are sequenced. Also, the instructor uses very visual teaching style by utilizes a projector that shows videos or text pages to allow students to follow along. The teacher emphasizes terms such as “high-light” or “underline” as well as the page number to turn to. By stating certain key terms loudly, the educator collects every student’s attention and gives them clear instructions which results in a smoothly paced classwork period and avoids having any student fall behind. The teacher uses a lot of group work and spreads out individual work during the week. If students get loud when they are placed in groups, the teacher uses a control technique by announcing “1, 2, 3 eyes on me” and the students replying to her by saying “1, 2, 3 eyes on you” then she

In order to create a positive classroom culture, teacher need to promote positive relationships between students and with students by taking an interest and have respect for each other. It is extremely important for teacher to get to know the students, their families, and their culture. When a student knows their teacher cares about them, then a relationship of trust will exist between a student and teacher. According to Sayeski and Brown (2011), “teachers who had positive relationships with their student had 31 % fewer discipline problems and rule violations over the course of the year than teachers who did not” (p. 12). In order to know more about them, I will send home a poster board where the students can fill it with any information they would like me and their classmates to know. This constructivist approach gives them the opportunity to be creative and choose what they want to share. The essentialist approach of sending home a questionnaire for the family to fill out will help collect information important to understanding the student. This is the only category where I consider myself an essentialist and constructivist due to how information will be gathered about my students, but this will allow me to build the framework for a positive learning environment for everyone. Having students create a poster will allow their peers to get to know them as an individual. Another way to create a positive environment is having students work together to keep

Some people don't know exactly what homework is. Homework is defined as an out of class activity assigned to students as an extension or elaboration of classroom work(KidSource). There are three types of homework teachers generally give out. The first is Practice assignments, they are assignments that reinforce newly acquired skills or knowledge(KidSource). An example of these assignments is writing definitions down for new words

Teachers play a pivotal role in shaping the behaviour and educational success of students and as such they carry a huge responsibility in the classroom. Everything the teacher says or do has a great impact on students’ lives as students depend on the teacher for guidance, for determining acceptable and social behaviour in the classroom and more importantly their learning and academic success. In addition, the role played by the teacher in fostering students learning causes them to exhibit certain attitudes which could have a long lasting negative or positive influence on students. Based on research it was surmised that high teacher expectation mean that the teacher believe that the student is a high-achiever and the dynamics
