Now being at Richland Elementary School for about 8 weeks, I have a good sense of the people around me, the school itself, and myself in my role with the children. I do have to say that Mrs. Cambridge is outstanding with the children. She builds excellent rapport with them. I can recall a certain student was afraid of a certain movie being played one week, and he asked if he could go and sit with Mrs. Cambridge. This goes to show how much care and time Mrs. Cambridge puts into getting to know and building relationships with these students. It shows when a kid needs to be disciplined or talked to, and she is always good at handling the situation. The volunteers are also equally as good with the students. Many of the volunteers are soon to be …show more content…
He then proceeded to get extremely upset and even resorted to screaming and kicking the filing cabinet. He screamed for us to pick a different movie even when we offered to let him go and sit somewhere else, but no bargaining would have worked, so we all sat in silence. We had officially run out of ideas, and our indecisiveness became our technique. We turned around and just in silence until he stopped. Then one of the volunteers offered to sit down with him behind one of the computers and read a book with him. All was well again with the child. It was a moment of success and a return to peace just like that. As for my part in the incident, if I remember correctly he came to me and a volunteer next to me first. We tried to explain to him that we were keeping the movie up for everyone else to watch, but that he could go with Mrs. Cambridge if he wanted to. My part was just a small part in a group effort to help get the child’s emotions back under …show more content…
Many problems that come up with these children is behavioral. Whether it is reinforcing a good behavior or curbing a bad behavior, I would say this is certainly the most common thing that we deal with. We also deal with affective and cognitive issues as well. Many kids will come in feeling emotional under the weather or just emotional not right, we need to try and help where we can. Cognitive issues do come up from time to time. Kids may say something that they say that just does not sound right. Whether it is just talking negatively about other people or themselves, this happens frequently. You also have kids that just struggle with their feelings or their thoughts. Many of the volunteers at the school could identify the children that they have seen with these problems. Whether it is just working with them on their feelings teaching them to handle their emotions, or it is curbing some of the thoughts that they are expressing, the volunteers that I have seen have done a great job with the kids to help any of the children that may have something come
What advice would you give teachers and administrators who indicated that they had school-wide problems with behavior? Advice that I would share with teachers or administrators that indicated experiencing issues with student behavior would be to employ the fundamental principles of RTI to support appropriate behaviors in the school. Tier 1 of the school wide behavioral support program would be to screen for behavior problems. The school could also establish school wide behavior expectations along with consequences and procedures for all students. Teachers would be encouraged to develop positive classroom experiences for all students. Tier 2 of the model would provide intervention and additional supports for students with behavioral issues. If the behavioral model and supports did not improve the overall behavioral outcomes for the students, then more intensive interventions could be implemented. Another suggestions that I would give to teachers and administrators would be to implement a positive social skills program such as Stop and Think, Conscious Discipline, or Great Expectations. All of these programs promote positive social skills, along with providing students and teachers the tools for dealing with behavior
I really appreciated watching the documentary about Little Rock Central High School in class this week. “Little Rock Central High School is an accredited comprehensive public high school in Little Rock, Arkansas.” I had never hear about the school before or knew the history behind what happened many years ago. I cannot imagine what it must have felt like for African American kids to go school for the very first time with a bunch of white Americans who did not accept them at the time. Nine simple ordinary African American kids worked so hard to allow a chance for them to receive an education in a school that was not segregated. To think about how much bullying they went through and how much verbal and physical abuse they must have endured
I have always found Ms. Branson to be committed to helping our student and any teacher that requests her help. She helped facilitate our study club at Otis for the 5th, 6th and 7th graders for the last year we had the 7th and 8th graders at our elementary schools. She always began by creating relationships with all students she worked with by praising their successes and
This can be done by identifying the possible reason, then to work with the children to overcome it.
Middle School has impacted my life in such a huge way by giving me responsibilities, multiple opportunities for different activities, and lots of friendships. I enjoy being a big part of the school and showing my abilities as a student, in and outside of the classroom environment. I've done student council the past two years at Whitford Middle School, as well as yearbook community the past three years. In my 8th grade year, I have definitely learned multiple qualities and advantages of being a leader. In fact, in my third year of being on the yearbook community, I became the editor who was in charge of everything. That really showed me a lot about myself, and that I really can improve and help Whitford and hopefully Beaverton next year. I like
There are no words that can express my desire to end my last year of schooling at Wood-Ridge Junior Senior High School. Recently I was chosen to speak at a prospective student's event where I had to explain to an audience of parents why I loved being a W-R Blue Devil. Frankly, I was shocked with how much emotion and attachment I have towards W-R. I always have known that my years roamed around those halls would imprint in my mind forever, but I would have never thought of crying at the thought of exiting them for the last time. But as you can probably predict that is what occurred. I will write to you what I told the audience as I deem it relevant to our purpose. Wood-Ridge High School isn't Bergen Academies or in this case Pascack Valley. The fact is Wood-Ridge isn't simply a school to me. I don't even consider
I go to Thornapple Kellogg High School in Middleville, Michigan. Everyone here is usually pretty kind, but there is one person who has helped me excel with my learning and that is my AP statistics teacher Mrs. Wilkinson. Mrs. Wilkinson is a lot more caring than she appears. She really idolizes about her students and how they learn. Mrs. Wilkinson always asks us how our lives are going and what we want to do. She loves to connect with her students on a personal level and is interested in our well being. Her teaching methods always connect with something that she knows we’ll understand. Although she may not seem like the most heartwarming teacher, but she really cares about our well-being.
As a supervisor at the Royalton MAP program, a before and after school child care program offered through the Elementary school, I see multitudes of different kids: kids who interact well with others, with a small group of friends, with one single friend, those who choose not to interact at all, and those who do not know to interact appropriately with others. Managing these different kinds of kids can be very difficult. It requires an understanding from me as to why they play with the students they do, why something might have happened, and how to get to the bottom of it. The students who do not know how to play with others are the most difficult to manage. If an argument occurs between them and another student, they use violent words and physical actions to communicate their emotions because most times they do not know how to express them. A perfect example of this kind of student, was Oliver Clemens at the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year.
Throughout my elementary school years I was worried and stressed out because I had a speech class that I went to three days a week when I was in kindergarten. Mrs. Mackenzie was an awesome teacher, she made us feel welcomed there and she cared about her students. Kindergarten through third grade,
Within historic Virginia City resides the Fourth Ward School, a building constructed in 1874. When it was built, Virginia City was booming with a population of approximately twenty-two-thousand people. Virginia City at the time wanted to show off some of its pride as a city with a new four story school. As the school today is so very old and has a history, people running the museum have to balance keeping the place funded and staying historically true. Today, the museum has lost much of its historical authenticity and has taken on more of a museum’s role, rather than a historical building role. However, that does not diminish the education potential the Fourth Ward School still has.
Our mind is the gateway to new beliefs, ideas and culture. However, that can never be achieved without a challenge, a push. If I did not care about my education I would not be applying to Whitney M. Young Magnet High School.

Some time ago, a mysterious letter appeared in the custody of my home. The intention of the letter was deemed unknown, up until my parents decided to read its contents. My sister and I decided to file down to the lower floor and observe what my parents were doing. As we arrived, my sister and I swarmed like raging insects around my superiors, and learned that the sender was Smart’s Mill Middle School. After my parents read the letter, they then summarized what was contained within the letter.
In today’s society, children encounter many different troubles, and they struggle with things than most people actually don’t notice, but who does a person refer to when they suspect something is troubling a child? Whose responsibility is it to help the child whenever there is a problem in need of addressing, and how would they go about solving the problem? Sometimes it can be a challenging task to figure out what can be troubling a child. Because children in modern society are exposed to and involved with so much more than past generations, it makes it difficult for adults to connect and understand what the children go through because they don’t experience the same things that the child does on a daily basis. The youth today are the future of the world, which makes it a major priority for them to be provided with basic needs for living and also for them to be mentally and physically healthy, as well as keeping them happy during the time of their life where they should have very little responsibility and live carefree. Many children have a hard time when dealing with things troubling them and a harder time talking to someone about those things that are causing troubles with them. School Social Work deals with children and their families throughout the course of adolescent education. Children in today’s society experience many troubles that can go unnoticed a majority of the time. Fortunately, when a child is showing strong signs of a problem, there are school social
I believe I speak for everyone at Tabb Middle School when I say this: Mrs. Young is an outstanding Principal. I look up to her, as many people do - be they a student
