My Ethics In My Field Placement

Having discussed what activities we would be doing in the classroom it is then my responsibility to prepare the classroom ready for the lesson, this would be done either before the children arrive or when the class teacher gathers the children on to the carpet area where she will discuss the activity with them, what it involves and what is expected of them.

It was playtime for the class. My first real experience with classroom management was when a little boy by the name of Tranell did not want to share the toy phone with his classmate who was a girl. I went up to Tranell and ask him “Can she have a turn with the phone?”. He nodded his head and let her have the phone for a little while. But as soon as my back was turned he snatched the phone back from her and she began crying. During this time, I told his teacher about and she told him to give it back to her. Tranell gave it to her, but sudden he began crying. He loved the toy phone so much that he literally would take it and keep in his pocket. When play time was over, I informed Mrs. Gain, Mrs. Pace classroom helper of what Tranell had done. She told me that he takes and keeps the toy phone in his pocket all the time and she will let Mrs. Pace know about it. After playtime it was time for them to go the

Approach them with a calm nature but with authority. Ask each child to explain what happened. To let them know that you are treating each one fairly by giving both of them a chance to explain what happened.

The first thing you need to do is get organized. Each one of your classes is going to expect you to stay on top of the information presented and handed out in class. Every one of your classes is going to expect you to keep on top of important

Personally, for the duration of the health and social care course I believe that I have changed. This course has given me the additional skills and knowledge in which I can use for the future. My presentational skills especially have improved as before when I had to present to an audience I would become very nervous, however in various units presenting in front of an audience was essential. From the encouragement from both the teachers and my peers I am able to now confidently speak in front of a small audience and be comfortable with my work and present it - I have also used their feedback as a way to improve myself.

Recently, I witnessed a pupil at my setting using inappropriate language during a music lesson, where the class teacher was not present. I took the pupil to one side and bent to their level. I informed the pupil that the language they had used was both inappropriate and unacceptable. I told the pupil that I would be informing the class teacher of the incident and that should it happen again, I would be sending them straight to the head teacher’s office. Another child had overheard the inappropriate language and copied it. I took the same action with the second child, and then separated them, moving one child to the other side of the classroom. After the music lesson, I informed the class teacher of both incidents, who thanked me for my input and said that the pupils would need to be closely monitored for the rest of the day.

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve known what I wanted to do. I am one of those people who was blessed enough to realize my passion at an early age. As far back as I can remember, I’ve wanted to become a teacher. I can remember as a child sitting in my room, surrounded by my stuffed animals (or students, as I saw them) and forcing my younger brother to sit still and quietly do the work I assigned him. I even had two baskets which I kept on my little wooden desk; one for my “students” to turn in work, and the other for more work which needed to be graded. I spent many afternoons

I’m usually one of the kids that helps their teacher hand back papers, or the one that starts a conversation with the teacher before the class begins. My teachers usually know if something is wrong and ask if i’m okay. If we have a class project , like the one in my English right now about writing about a controversy topic and finding reliable sites, I’m usually the one “taking charge”. Helping my group finding their part, as well as making sure they’re getting caught up with their work. They usually chose me to be the “leader”. Holding the papers as the trustworthy person not going to lose it and making sure it gets to class everyday as well. I also revise the things that we’re going to turn

By allowing students to help make them I will be allowing them to fell more entitled to follow them, because they obviously felt that they will help. Examples would be bathroom breaks at an allotted time, pencil sharpeners close after a certain time, and we line up to go places in a certain way. By having a set plan nothing will catch them by surprise. Having things in order in the classroom with will make students more

Markkula Center for Applied Ethics (2009) suggests evaluating alternative decisions when thinking of the most ethic thing to do in a situation by asking questions such as “which option will produce the most good and do the least harm?” and “which option treats people equally or proportionately?” enabling me to think of my responsibility as a colleague to Aaron. Knowing in Aaron’s culture it is socially acceptable to have physical contact with children and friends, it would be ethically wrong and unfair to degrade his culture and report him without confronting him first. The NAYEC code of ethics states in ideal 1-3A.1 that, as educators, we must “establish and maintain relationships of respect, trust, confidentiality, collaboration and cooperation

The boys just kept on not sharing and playing nicely and fairly, and kept taking each other’s toys and getting water out of the water table. After repeating myself a couple of more times telling them to share and keep the water in the water table, the boys stopped and started to play and share with each other and kept most of the water in the table. My reaction to the incident was that I was frustrated that they kept on not sharing and taking each other’s toys and things. Then, I was so surprised to see them listening to me after a couple of times telling them not to get water out of the water table, and to start sharing the toys and play with each other nicely. Overall, I was very surprised that they listened and started to behave better with one

With now finishing my 5th week working alongside Mrs. Tench, I have realized that I have not done as much as I did in the first three weeks. Since then the activates have become more repetitive, I am either making copies, taking kids to places, or reading along side the once struggling. At first this as a great experience because I got to see what a teacher has to deal with on a regular basis, the only setback that I am facing now is that I am not being exposed to any new skills. When I agreed to partake in this class I knew that I would have to assist the teachers with running earns and monitoring the students but I did not expect that it would be so often. I thought that my time in the class would consist of me interacting more with the

We all end up at a point where we have to respond to an issue positively. That is possible when a good amount of experience to certain situations is attained. “The creed which accepts as the foundation of morals 'utility' or the 'greatest happiness principle' holds that actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness; wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness” - John Stuart Mill. This particular quote refers to the utilitarian approach which states that in all our actions we must always strive to produce the greatest possible balance of good or evil. The utilitarian

When I have morning class on campus, I always wake up at 6 o’clock. I tidy up my bed and take a shower immediately. Afterwards, I iron my clothes that I will wear to the campus. Then, I wear my clothes soon and start to prepare things that I will bring to the campus

During my participant-observation I chose to ask a female student if I could sit across from her. She told me of course. A few minutes later she asked if I would watch her belongings which included her laptop and background, while she quickly used the restroom. Over the course of the hours I sat there I noticed that a few other students asked others to watch their stuff. When interviewing an student employee she told me that “I leave my stuff at a table and will leave for up to an hour and nothing bad has ever happened to any of my things”.
