School Of Classroom Observation

The third observation that I was in was with my mentor so I had seen that class before and I was used to them staying on task pretty well. I talked with my mentor and wanted to make sure I was understanding the culture of the classroom correctly. I wanted to see if they were always as attentive as they were that day and the days that I am usually in the room. She told me that they really are. The problems that she has with them really fall more on the shoulders of them not wanting to answer and having different participation from class to class. 2nd hour answers more than 4th and 6th hour answers more than both of them. She says it really takes some restructuring to prepare for each class knowing how each class will differ when it comes to the classroom discussions or

One of the most important information that I learned from the class is the Sex Education in Schools in the united states in general and California state in particular, and the discussion between the students was interesting. One of the students said that " I did not take any sex aid class when I was in school" she studied in a private school. Another student claimed that I took the class when I was in fifth grade. On the other hand, I told my classmates that in Saudi Arabia we took the class in high

Human sexuality can be fascinating, complex, contradictory, and sometimes frustrating. Sexuality is interwoven into every aspect of being human; therefore, having knowledge about sex is as essential as having education about human anatomy. However, it is highly recommended to pay close attention when sex education is delivered to youths. (Donatelle 171)

1. The only change in the classroom was all of the children special notes from their parents, "My child is Special because" The teacher posted them on all them were posted on the door.

The language arts lesson began with Ms. House having the students discuss the use of punctuation in a sentence. I liked how she sternly, but calmly was able to redirect students back to their seats when they came up the book. The students knew exactly what she meant and quickly listened to her. I also noticed how the majority of the times she called on a student whether or not they had their hand raised. This is a great practice because it prepares students to always think about the question asked and to have an answer ready. Ms. House had the students transition to the next activity by standing and shaking their arms and legs. I believe this is a great way to quickly give students a break and then redirect them to the next activity.

The best thing that came out of this learning experience is my appreciation for the younger grades. I always thought that I wanted to a third grade teacher, but I do not think I need to limit myself. I had so much fun just watching the kids all interact with one another and have so many different thoughts. They truly liked learning and thought of their teacher as almost a mom like figure. I hope to instill this in my future classroom and to be in a school system that is ready to help

PS. 45 is a school in in Staten Island New York, serving 900 students, 61% of the students are economically disadvantaged. This is a diverse school where 5% of students are Asian, 17% Black, 48% Hispanic and 27% White. They have a population of English Language Learners that take up 6% and 23% of the school's population have disabilities. I am observing a 4th grade classroom at P.S. 45. This class is a general education class with 26 students, two of these students are English language learners and two others struggle with focusing. There are also a number of students in the class that need extra support.

Even though the classroom was a little unorganized and noisy, I really liked how Ms. Penn kept track of the class’ learning progress on the white board. I believe the chaotic state of the class was probably because it was the last hour of the instructional day and the students as well as the teacher were a little tired and needed some relaxation time. The learning centers were not very instructional. Ms. Penn just went around and interacted with students as they played in their centers. There was not much of teaching observed in this hour.

My last set of observation hours were done at PJ Jacobs’s Jr. high grades 7-9, located in the Stevens Point school district. The teacher I observed at this school was David Hauser. Prior to this practicum experience I had no knowledge about David, or any knowledge about the Stevens Point school system. David seems to have a very strong background in team sports and athletics among the Jr. high school and high school levels. I feel David’s involvement in sports reflected strongly in the way he managed the classroom, supported student learning, incorporated different teaching styles, and ultimately lacked the ability to maintain students attention resulting in irrelevant play and poor classroom behavior from students.

Dr. Hemingson, a new professor to grace Baker’s campus this year, is currently teaching anatomy and physiology. This may seem as though this class would be cut and dry, yet anatomy and physiology deals with topics that if not handled correctly, can cause disruptions in the classroom. During this class, students will come across material that encompasses the pubic areas of the body, and also during the lab portion cadavers of

When the 1920s arrived, sex ed became a proponent of promoting family life. It evangelized the pre-marital chastity. Sexual fulfillment is frowned upon and sex continues to be viewed as a method of procreation. However, sex ed classes were held in biology classes, thus allowing the students a more clinical setting to study about their sexual health rather than being preached at in class for their “moral conducts.” There also appeared to be an inclusion of sociological examples within the lessons against abstinences.

I ended up doing both quizzes on the male and female anatomy because I like challenges and just to see how much I really know. I went in taking the female sexual anatomy quiz thinking I would get an almost perfect score, I mean how could I not? I am a female and should know my anatomy. To my surprise, there were things I did not know or have even heard of! Thus, I ended up getting a 12 out of 17; therefore, I knew some of the basic things, but was surprised how I did not know some of the anatomy such as what the corpus luteum, follicles, or vulva was. In regards to the male sexual anatomy quiz, I was shocked about how much I knew because I thought my score would be astonishingly low. Surprisingly, I got a 10 out of 18,

Conducting classroom observations are very important to the prospective teacher. Observing helps show how experienced teachers manage their classroom. For this observation it was important to notice how the classroom was arranged, how the teacher interacted with the students, the teacher’s management style, and interview the teacher.

Classroom observation is a main approach of teaching research. Scholars or researchers use video to record the real whole class and observe the teachers and students’ actions, words and the efficiency in the class. Though the observation, they analyze what approach is more suitable. This paper will select video 5 and video 3 as the material to do the classroom observation. Different aspects such as teachers’ responds, questions, instructions notes and students’ behavior will be addressed to analyze the efficacy of this class.

The following data was gathered while fulfilling duties as a principal intern at Theresa Bunker Elementary School. The data was observed during five to seven minutes of classroom observation as part of a walk-through in the spring of the current school year. My cooperating supervisor for my internship was able to go on these walk-throughs with me in order to have a productive reflection meeting afterwards. This elementary school has two of each grade level from Kindergarten to sixth grade. Since it was more feasible in this small school setting, I actually was able to do a walkthrough in eight classes. Here I will report my observations from five of those walk-throughs. As I went in to each room I was looking for four
