Observation Of Education In The Classroom

teaching in an inclusion classroom, I was able to observe a fourth grade classroom at Village School in West Windsor, New Jersey. The general education teacher was Ms. Welsh and the special education teacher was Ms. Wilush. Ms. Welsh has been teaching for many years, while Ms. Wilush has only been teaching for two years. Each teacher brings with them different strategies, that together make a wonderful classroom dynamic. The students make up an average size fourth grade classroom of a little more than

The observation took four hours at A. Harry Moore School in a class of children with special needs who were 5 to 6 years old. The classroom was spacious. The class had only five kids, four boys, one girl, two teachers and a nurse to observe their health. The classroom was wide enough for the children to have their own space, with extra room for computers, a place for them to eat and play games. The students treat their classroom as a second home, where teacher treats their students like their own

This was probably the most interesting classroom for me. I stated that because special education is the field where I want to pursuit my career. The first day I started my observation in this classroom was on October 12, 2017. I arrived 20 minutes before the class started because I wanted to have enough time to observe in context the whole school scenario. At JGES parents are allowed at the playground while children line up waiting to go to their classroom. Ms. Gonzalez was waiting for her students

In 1861, the Sunflower State was adopted into the USA as the 34th state. It is home to the geographical center of the United States and not to forget the largest ball of twine ever recorded. With its vast plains and prariers Kansas is the largest producer of wheat and is known as the ‘bread-basket state’. Many schools in this agricultural governance still base their hours around the harvest schedule allowing the children to lend a hand in the tradition of family farming. There is currently over 2

The second day of observations began in the special education resource classroom. The special education teacher was absent, and a substitute teacher was covering the class. During the observation the student was participating in a small group reading lesson. The student seemed to do well participating in the lesson during the first four minutes of the observation. The substitute teacher had to stop the lesson to tend another student in the classroom. During this time the student exhibited the

Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP) is a method of teaching that is based on the research about how young children grow and learn and includes standards for high quality care and education for young children. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) established these guidelines more than 20 years ago. Authors Gordon and Browne state, “The DAP approach stresses the need for activity-based learning environments and is based on what we know about children through

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

of the rationale for the qualitative case study approach. Next, I will present the participant selection criteria, the design of the study, and the methods of the data collection which will include the two interviews (first and follow-up), classroom observation, videotaping the participant during instruction, and document data collection. I will also discuss the strategies I will be using to enhance the trustworthiness of the study. At the end of this chapter, I will explain the methods of the data

on a school to observe. Before I was approved to observe a Special education classroom, I was not sure what kind of teachers or children I would encounter. On June 8, 2015 through June 10, 2015 I conducted my Special education observation at one of my neighborhood schools. Once I walked into Langston Hughes Elementary school, I felt welcomed and excited at the same time. I had an option to pick between four different classrooms, but when I met Mrs. Bell, I felt a connection. She seems like a warm

Within my ten hours of observation, I witnessed an Early Childhood, Childhood, and Middle Childhood classroom. Through the duration of these hours, I visited School 17 and School 30. My seven hours at School 17 consisted of experiences within an Early Childhood and a Childhood setting. The Early Childhood hours occurred in a Pre-Kindergarten classroom setting with Ms. Mitrakos. The Childhood observations occurred in a first-grade classroom with Ms. Hordan. My three hours at School 30 involved experiences
