My Trip At The Delray School For A Tour

When we ask the children to share their ideas orally using solid objects (teddies or animals), the teacher will be able to define their ideas and strategies. In addition, the children will have the opportunity to be involved in their learning process as part of their sense of agency.

All the students in Dr. Hoch’s class had note books which they used as their journal and these little books were given to them by Dr. Hoch. They used it to record important notes as the presentation proceeded. This was a good trait for effective learning. By so doing the students are able to identify the most important materials and the key areas of study. They are also able to concentrate and follow through the teacher’s presentation. This practice enables student identify areas that have not been clearly understood and seek clarification. In each class the students gets an opportunity to give their critical reflection on a major recent book on leadership and extended book report. They seem enthusiastic and willing to participate in the lesson, students reported on assigned readings and they were just bubbling and eager to share their readings and even give additional information without the prompting of the teacher. Participating in the lesson enables students to master the content, build self-confidence and apply what they learn in their day to day lives.

In conclusion, observing in Lewis E. Wadsworth elementary school with Mrs. Poland was an amazing experience. As I said in the beginning it was my childhood dream come true. I have always wanted to work with children who struggle in academics and everyday life. It has always been a passion thriving inside of me. I have already made plans to continue volunteering with Mrs. Poland and Mrs. Byrne’s. Mrs. Byrne is the EBD teacher. I was able to meet her in person today Friday September 11th. She has such a heart for these children as well. I would like to add she has incorporated many calming techniques in her classroom to help keep the children relaxed and comfortable. She was explaining to me how she first started off a few years back

The first standard I demonstrated was standard one. Standard one is supporting instructional opportunities. When Mrs. Levan had a sub, I assisted in delivering instruction to the class. Mrs. Levan wrote in her lesson plan to have me paint the student’s hands to look like spiders. I painted both of their hands black and put their handprints on their spider webs. The students had a fire drill while I was there, so I walked at the back of the line to make sure all of the students made it outside safely. At the end of the day, I had the students come over to the carpet and I read a firefighter book to them. The students enjoyed me reading to them.

As the children participated in this Math Counts/Manipulatives activity they were learning to work cooperatively in a small group. They were also learning understand

During Ms. Boerema’s instructional language arts class, she will call on students that are raising their hands first. From previous observations, there are two students that are always willing to answer questions and share their ideas with the rest of the class. By calling on students that are volunteering to participate, impacts their learning by allowing students to orally and verbally state their thoughts and ideas with the rest of the class. This also allows students to feel included and a sense of belongingness. Ms. Boerema will call students that are not raising their hands to make sure students are paying attention to the lesson and to know where the students are at, in terms of comprehending the lesson.

The second observation was during a math period. The students were reviewing subtracting three digit numbers with regrouping. The teacher used the researched based strategy of reciprocal teaching. She chose a student that is socially outspoken and proficient in math. As he was reviewing the problems on the board, he would call upon his fellow peers to share answers. On a few occasions as he scanned the room for a student, it was observed that Mrs. Yglesias encouraged him to choose an ELL student to participate. On the difficult examples, the teacher would interject and us visual hand gestures to assist students in arriving to an answer without verbally offering the solution. Also, the teacher walked around the room offering support to all her

I'll never forget the day I climbed the Santa Fe College Ropes course. I was invinsible.

The teacher begins her math lesson with all her students sitting orderly before her. She then explains their lesson plans for the day and reads them a story book that was associated with their lesson. The begining of her lesson was quite effective because she had all her students sit quietly before her with no distraction. Throughout her lesson she had her students participate individually, so they could understand it on their own. Using this method,

Walking up to Boca Raton Elementary School all I could think of was, wow I’m about to enter this school and start my field experience. It’s all I ever wanted to do and it was finally coming true. I was so nervous, yet so excited. I didn’t know what to expect, were the kids going to like me, would I be any help in the classroom? Mrs. Vickers made me feel so welcome and from the start started telling me everything that was planned for the day. She taught first grade and has only been teaching for five years. While teaching, she was obtaining her masters degree at FAU.

I observed Mrs.Delks classroom and right away I noticed that she and her classroom was very welcoming. Her classroom was very organized every day and you could tell the students really respected her. The children never back talked her and even at times when they did have time that they got in trouble for something she never had to yell or made them feel unfordable. You could tell that there was some type of love/trust relationship she had with her children. During the days that I was able to visit her classroom she had a student teacher at the time. She was very upfront with me and she told me that having help from her student teacher helped her out a lot. She said it was very hard to do everything on her own every day.

To give an analysis of the Rock Brook School, an assessment of the site visit must be made. Overall, based on the site visit, I was impressed by all aspects of the school from the time I walked in until the time I left. When I first arrived at the school, in order to enter the building, I had to be buzzed in and was greeted in the reception area by a staff member. I signed in and was given a visitor tag to wear during my visit. I was informed that the Director, Ms. Caterson would be with me momentarily. While I waited, I had the opportunity to observe the staff’s interaction with the students. The staff was very engaging with the students and everyone seemed to know everyone’s name. Outside the classroom, names of each of the children, the name of the teacher, teaching assistant, and speech therapist were posted next to the door. The school had a very warm and welcoming environment. The staff were extremely friendly and said hi when they walked by. Where I was sitting, most of the children seemed very young and had varying degrees of disability.

During the Fall Semester I was required to visit Easterling Primary School in Marion, South Carolina for an education course. I was filled with joy because I was once a student in Marion County and I was excited to view school from a different standpoint. I was scheduled to visit the school every Tuesday in the Month of October, but due to Hurricane Matthew we lost a few weeks and I had to go back for two weeks in November. I had the pleasure to be placed with Mrs. Johnson, a Special Education Teacher in a Self-Contained Classroom at Easterling. Mrs. Johnson has been teaching for a total of twenty nine years and has multiple certifications and degrees in the education field. Overall Easterling is a fairly large school and it

To help students effectively interact with new knowledge, I often preview new content prior to the critical input experience with a short engaging video. Often I also purposefully organize students in groups to enhance the active processing of information. New information is presented in small chunks or digestible bites. Questions are then asked for my

Understanding cognition and how we learn is essential in the developmental stages of children. Not all students learn in the same way, understanding the cognitive process will assist in the development of the students. By modifying my approach when giving instructions I have noticed growth in current students that I am working with. Using concrete materials and giving the opportunity for students to be involved in hands-on activities on a daily basis, is essential in making new material meaningful to learners.. The knowledge gained from this topic has increased my understanding and is benefiting the children I am currently
