Practicum Placement

Research has shown daily routines and procedures provide students with consistency and when they become familiar with expectations, it creates a sense of security in the classroom. When students keep focused, there are fewer behavioral issues and allows for more meaningful instruction time. In my experience, most

Additionally, Paula struggles staying focused and on-task during class instruction. Paula frequently gets lost and distracted with the material in front of her, but Paula makes up for it with her dedication to answer the question correctly. Frequently, Paula observes her peers respond during whole class discussions and also answers some of the questions asked during these discussions. The teacher uses these opportunities as a learning opportunity to highlight the correct answer or guide the students into saying the correct answer. It is great that Paula wants to participate in classroom discussions because she remains fully engaged and frequently offered the opportunity to state his own understandings about the concept or skill he is being taught. Drawing on this observation and the use of intervention work, the teacher can plan future opportunities to allow the students to not only communicate their understandings about the content they are being taught, but to also further drive in the content he is being

In a diverse classroom each student will be attended based on their individual need and teachers will meet each child at their level. Student will be treated equally regardless of their cultural background or socioeconomic status. By providing a good classroom management system, we will have a respectful and inclusive class culture. Establishing good classroom routines is essential to creating a positive environment for students to focus on learning. The follow sections cover those routine in our class

The routines established include lining up quietly outside the classroom door, walking in and taking their seat quietly, each row will be called by the teacher to retrieve and return classroom textbooks and workbooks, and any supplies will be handed out and collected by a row captain. Other routines established during the lesson plans include: taking out and checking the previous night 's homework, a group lesson plan that reviews the objectives and standards, group work formation by the teacher, and a quick check assignment during class is used as a formative assessment for the day 's lesson plan. Bathroom breaks are during class changes or students may go during class, but only

During my practicum observation that took place at my former high school different while in class I got significant information from students on the different literacy traits. In my observation the traits I took from these students were organization, voice, word choice, ideas, and sentence fluency. Each literacy trait is important to improving a student’s overall learning in various ways must effectively is providing students the necessary study habits and sharpen focus. Day 1: Organization was the focus during the first day of my practicum observation. The instructor order the

Participating in a third-year practicum placement has been very effective in increasing my knowledge surrounding Ontario’s context of youth services. Now, in my last few months of my time at Alternative Learning Styles and Outlooks (ALSO), I have continued to relate my in-class knowledge to a practical setting. I recently experienced the struggle of maintaining social work principals while trying to balance support of the Reading and Parents Program (RAPP) and maintain self-determination. Building from this, I learnt the importance of continual advocacy, through prosperous and difficult times. I learnt that a slight change in a slightly related subject might completely cut funding for essential programs to non-profit organizations. I also took place in a community consultation regarding the

My first practicum placement for this semester, I was placed at Henry F. Moss Middle School. When I found out that I had to observe and teach a lesson to middle schoolers, I was not thrilled. I have never had any interest in teaching middle school so I was dreading the next one-hundred and forty observation hours. Despite my initial thoughts, I enjoyed my time at Moss Middle. The teacher that I was placed with was Mrs. Durbin. She was very open to having me in her class and was never opposed to me jumping in to help her teach or assist students in the classroom. She is an LBD teacher and teaches in a math resource classroom. Throughout my time with Mrs. Durbin, I was able to experience what it is like to teach in a resource room and I also

A routine benefits children in two ways, intellectually and emotionally. A child having a routine benefits them intellectually because, it will teach them how to be organised as they have set times that things happen. The table above shows the tipical day for a roksely student that is in year 1. When this children move on to go to secondary school they are going to all have timetables. They will not forging to this because they have started to imbed this in their everyday day life for a young age. However if they didn’t they would have difficulties with going to the right place in time, which will mean they are not punctual.

In addition to using routines and a clear system of rewards, here are some other tips to share with teachers for classroom success:

One must look at classroom management as a plan for what procedures students will follow throughout the day. Teachers must understand their role in making sure students have a successful experience each day. Wong H. & Wong R., state “Effective teachers teach how to responsibly follow procedures” (2009, p. 165). To have a smooth-running classroom with minimal behaviors, students must be taught classroom procedures from the very first day. In my classroom we have procedures for many things we do each day. Some of these are arrival of children, snack time, lining up and walking down the hallway, and cleaning up centers. I have been teaching these procedures for many years with much success.

The question I am attempting to answer is the first question regarding the organizational makeup of my practicum site placement and what impact it might have on my development this upcoming year. To begin, I am doing my practicum at a Oakwood Health Services in Altoona, Wisconsin. Oakwood Health Services currently provides 96 beds for those needing care. It is a Nursing and Rehabilitation center, for-profit organization that is owned by Northshore Health Services. Additionally, Oakwood Health Services is a leading provider in Short-term rehabilitation, post-acute services, and Long-term care services. The impact the size, size and owernship of the facility might have on my development is making me well rounded with the variety of sources they

Wow you have a lot of things going on. Your placement sounds great and I will give you a big thumb up due to the various responsibilities you have in raising your kids, working and going to school, if I as a single lady is complaining I just can’t imagine how it is for you as a parent, but you sound like a strong lady who is ready to take the bull by the horn in achieving your set out plans.

Guiding children's behavior is a biggest challenge many teachers face. Teachers use the most appropriate guidance and discipline practices to encourage and strengthen positive behaviors for children. As a teacher, I will be using positive strategies in my classroom. I will make sure to always give children choices. By giving them choices, I am giving them control. Of course the choices will be good options to pick. Having a daily routine is important. Routines are the backbone of daily classroom life.Efficient routines make it easier for students to learn and achieve more, and it saves valuable classroom time. Students need structure, and if a schedule is followed, then they will better accept transitions.Children will know what is expected

Figure 2 shows that during modeled reading, the teacher has almost all of the control over the reading process, but then gives some responsibility to students as he or she asks the students to engage in the same behaviors that are being modeled as part of shared reading. During guided reading, the teacher gives more responsibility to the students when they are asked to engage in finding words in texts and creating meaning from those texts. Finally, almost all responsibility is given to the students as they read on their

Productive routines allow students to develop their own sense of organization and structure in their lives. I will have subjects color coded and organized throughout my classroom. After every lesson, I will have students get out their assignment notebooks and write homework assignments and important dates in it. This routine is a recap for students and reminds them what to take home, complete, or relay any information to their parents. Other effective routines would consist of how students signal to get attention, time allotted for quiet reading and reflection, when to go to the restroom or elsewhere, and how they line up when leaving the classroom. I also believe students get a little off track over the weekend, and I would set up a routine Monday morning to go over what we have learned and what is to be expected in the classroom for the week.
