Expectervation Of The Obsergarten Classroom Of Sarah House

A typical day in Julie Smith MC 201 class starts of with her playing music. Once her class starts it’s nothing but and excitement. She is a very loud and energetic person. She is not afraid to get all in your face as she is walking around the class teaching you for the topic of the day. She also has a lot of games she uses to keep people engaged in the topics to she is talking about. “ I love coming to Julie class because you never know what to expect from her. One day you might get class where you’re using your phone and the next day she’s handing out candy. I love coming to her class not knowing what to expect.” Said Ciara Bazile. Julie just didn’t wake up one day and say hey I’m going to be teacher like most people as she likes to put it, “ just happened by accident.” One of her old professors called her one night and asked her if she was still teaching at Webster and asked her if she wanted to teach an intro class, she immediately jumped at it. Her favorite part about teaching is “having students contact me after the semester to tell me about examples they 've seen - which shows that what we 've talked about in 201 has stayed with them. I love getting to know them and know their stories. College students are much smarter than people give them credit for.” Julie has been teaching since 1998 so she has no shame when it comes to teaching is not afraid to make a fool of her self when it comes to teaching. “I remember Julie teaching us about television and radio. She

I will try to engage students with a story to start the lesson, which will focus their learning (Moitra, 2014). For example, introducing the lesson on alcohols by recounting their use in our daily life and why they are used in those situations. This engagement allows connection to their lives, they start the class by realising what you are saying to them is important and you are worth listening to (Makodia, 2009). This needs to be told with enthusiasm and passion to show that what you are saying is exciting and fascinating. This will require a range of tone and pace to allow the students to feel like they are hearing an interesting story. Through using gestures and walking around the class I can engage all students by allowing them to follow

When I observed this classroom I did notice some great things that the teacher was implementing into her lessons. The class size was small which probably helped the students a lot considering they wouldn’t be overwhelmed. The teacher talked in English the entire time. This is something that will help the students get used to when they transition out of the classroom. The teacher would also go over letters and sounds in the

If I were an English Language Learner (ELL), I would desire to have an educator as accomplished and compassionate as Mrs. Yglesias. Her mindset of treating all her students equally is exemplary. When I first started observing her instruction, I was unsuspecting where the ELL or exceptional students were seated. All the students blended very well together. The children are carefully integrated around the classroom according to their behavior, not their ability. The teacher’s main objective is to control distractions, since during her instruction she delivers an array of phenomenal strategies. In this case, her tactics function effortlessly and every child is fully engaged. There was no observation of any tattle telling or someone refusing to

First off, the one thing I noticed about Ms. Lewis was that she was very passionate to the students and their learnings. She would always give the students an equal amount of opportunity to share their opinions. If too many students were raising their hand rapidly and being lunatic she would get out her jar of popsicle sticks. The popsicle sticks had the students names on them. She would pick from the jar and call one of the students. If the student refused to answer she would pick another, and not make the student share if they weren 't comfortable, or they didn 't know the answer. I think this is an awesome strategy it made the children be equal. Ms. Lewis also was able to listen patiently to the students and give everyone an opportunity to answer.

As I continue to view the video one classroom strategy I favored was Mrs. Hopf’s implementation of the fingering number system. It was a nonverbal way of communication that is used in the classroom to help cut down on the disruptions in class; however by placing the fingers in the air, Mrs. Hopf can still understand what the students are asking. For example, if a student holds up 1 finger, then it means that the student needs help. 2 fingers means the student needs to go to the restroom. Finally 3 fingers means that the student needs to sharpen their pencils. In my opinion this system is excellent. It was demonstrated well by the students in the video. Looking from the outside in, I could tell Mrs. Hopf’s classroom management was great.

Effective teachers know the importance of having a caring, inclusive educational environment, creating routines, modeling every aspect of learning, and providing rich hands-on experiences. On November 3, 2017, I conducted my field experience and observation, in my friend, Brittney Gomez’s kindergarten class. Mrs. Gomez has a great passion for education, and truly cares for all of her students. I have contemplated teaching kindergarten, so I felt observing a kindergarten classroom would be an excellent opportunity for me. Mrs. Gomez seems to teach her kindergarten class with ease, and I am very thankful for the opportunity I had to observe her class.

Newsam’s class showed me how I would want my classroom to be when I am a teacher. She showed me things she does to keep her classroom under control. She also taught me that using positive reinforcement can go a long way in the classroom. She gave the students many opportunities for rewards and also told me that Class Dojo is her savior when things get a little hectic. She told me that she also gave a classroom reward that the students earn and can lose as a class. She said that she believes it shows the students that they are a team. She also really cared for the kids and they trusted her enough to talk to her about home problems. This taught me that you need to have a relationship with your students because then they will better trust you for help. Out of all the things I learned in Mrs. Newsam’s class, the most important thing I learned is that you can’t have a good classroom without a loving, caring

Next week, I will be back with more ideas to help you engage your students. In the mean time, we love to hear from our readers. What strategies do you use with your students to increase

The way the children learn and have come so far is so amazing. These children are only in pre-k and kindergarten and I was constantly forgetting that. I’ve always been experienced to the regular classroom, so being exposed to this kind of teaching really opened my eyes. It sparked an interest in how independent these students are learning. The love and laughter in Mrs. Addairs classroom is something I will always take with me. I’m so incredibly thankful for this experience and those students I only spent three days, Those students with will always hold a place in my heart and will help me thrive to want to begin my long teaching

Teacher profile experience gave me an opportunity to meet with my monitor teacher, Susan Madison, and start a conversation with her to know about her experience, duties in the classroom, and personality. Mrs. Madison has been at the Bombeck Learning Center for 10 years as a full time teacher. Her duties in the Jet classroom are to cooperate with the other teachers to organize the classroom, and offer the activities that are proper for the children ages. In addition, she cares about each child in the classroom, and gives him an opportunity to learn and develop. Mrs. Madison is a nice person who loves to travel and help. Outside of the class, she loves to go to Florida. She loves what she does, and she says, “I will do anything to help the children and people to succeed in their life”.

The first classroom I observed was in the Intermediate School and the teacher that I observed was Mr. Moll. Mr. Moll was a third-grade teacher for the school district, and while visiting him, I noticed that he seemed to be very energetic and encouraging towards his students. This is important when dealing with students at such a young age because they can be influenced by anyone who is of higher

At the beginning of the lesson, I felt that the classroom procedures were a little hectic. After lunch, it takes the class a few minutes to settle down. The students use the restroom and get a drink and then they have about 10 minutes of silent reading to settle down. Once the packets were handed out and the students had a crayon and pencil ready to go, the class felt a lot more settled.

The last station was students testing one another on the vocab words using a white board. Later in the day the students ended the day with learning about past tense verbs. Students were given a five minute break. . I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for the students to not understand much of what is going on , so I would use positive body language and encouraging gestures to help with miscommunication issues. I would also use what I learned from my reading and remind myself that every student is different and we should embrace diversity. Embracing diversity is a main theme throughout the textbook and I would want to give every child the same opportunity to succeed no matter where they come from. So I would apply patience, empathy and fairness to students. The teacher also made sure to incorporate positive feedback and praises of encouragement to her students. I would also incorporate vocab. I think the more words they can analyze and understand, the better their English may become because they now have a use of words they can communicate with. As far as reading topics I would try to incorporate history of American text that includes all races that created America and made it great. The teacher also taught and showed me that a dictionary is someone's

I was able observe several different teaching strategies during my observation. I was also able to gather more information with an interview with Mrs. Cameron, Mrs. Jen, and Mrs. Amy both prior to the program and after the
