programs offered at the school. Before this observation I did not know that culinary was a program offered at an area tech center. During my observation I used the domains of the Danielson Framework for teaching observation. I also learned many new ideas and I plan to apply them to my future classroom. For this observation I specifically observed for domains 2c: Managing Classroom Procedures and 2e: Organizing Physical Space. For 2c: Managing Classroom Procedures, I looked for little instructional
Classroom observation The fundamental of classroom observation is to evaluate teachers’ instruction performance during classes by using assigned observers and evaluation tools (Gallagher et al, 2011; Learning Point Associates, 2010). In order to observe the teacher performance, core components of teacher effectiveness should be used for designing criteria of rubrics or checklists, such as the quality of demonstrating content knowledge, communicating with students, and classroom management skills
Student A is an 8 year old Hispanic child. This student has a haircut that is short on the sides and longer on the top. Their stature is about 3 ½ to 4 feet tall with a stockier body build. The day of observations, this student was wearing a black sweatshirt with a large blue stripe down the hood and back and had dark wash jeans on. This student was also wearing skater shoes that were very loosely tied. Student A was observed for the social and emotional domain during math. For the social domain
d.) What was the atmosphere like? Were the students in a routine? If so, describe. If not, describe how one could have been put in place. The atmosphere of this classroom is very kid friendly and makes me feel like the students feel comfortable in here. The students had a routine as I mentioned earlier. Once the announcements were completed, the students knew to push in their chairs and head over to the morning carpet to start their “morning exercise” as the teacher called it. The “morning exercise”
I completed my observation at a public elementary school in North Georgia. When you first walked in there was the office then the cafeteria straight in front of you. There were multiple hallways that led to classrooms, the gymnasium, and the music room. The school was clean, since it is cleaned by the janitorial crew every afternoon. The school was adapted to meet the needs of disabled students since the hallways were wide enough for wheel chairs, had hand rails, and the school employs para-pros
Properly conducted classroom observation is a powerful tool in the continuing professional development of teachers. The revised performance management arrangement for teachers, which came into force on 1 September, 2007, clearly set the expectation that classroom observations are to be developmental in nature and multi-purpose in usage. The Education ( School Teacher Performance Management) Regulations 2006 state that the total period of classroom observation allowed per performance management cycle
The observation conducted was at Magnolia High School in a Moderate/Severe classroom. The classroom has 15 students that range from 9th-12th grade, 4 instructional assistances, and the classroom teacher. The students in Ms. Anderson’s class are learning at an elementary level around a 2nd and 3rd grade level. At the end of their high school experience, they will receive a certificate of completion and begin their Individualize Transitional Plan (ITP). During the observation, students had roles and
Throughout my observations at Sauganash Elementary School, I have learned a great amount of how student learning and development is influenced by prior knowledge, gender, reading comprehension skills, and individual learning styles. In the sessions that I observed, I saw different methods being used to teach. Each session that I observed was different from the other and helped me learn more about the teaching profession. My observations have taught me a lot about the teaching profession. Each session
the different kinds of observations a teacher can use. From the previous 4 childhood development classes that I have taken at West Los Angeles College, I had to do approximately one observation for each class. However, since these classes’ focuses more on the development of a child’s brain, learning about all the different philosophers, and learning about lesson plans, none of those classes paid much attention to observations until the assignment came around. When an observation assignment came up in
Prior to my observation, I was eager to have an opportunity to observe a class for an entire school day. While I certainly have a background working in school settings, I have never been able to focus on understanding and evaluating the different aspects of the school day. For my observation, I was placed in an inclusive fourth grade class. Two co-teachers ran the class of eighteen students. One of the most notable areas of the classroom was the carpet. Throughout the day the students would
