The Event Of A Science Teacher

At 1:00 p.m. I entered into Evoline C. West Elementary school on Thursday, July 12 2012 for an interview with Mrs. Yolanda Lawrence. As I entered the classroom, I was greeted by Mrs. Lawrence, the head teacher in this classroom. Mrs. Lawrence has no assistant at this present because of it being in the summer. After I entered into the classroom, the entire class welcomed me with “hello Ms. Flournoy”. It made my day to see all of those smiley faces greeting me. This was a 2nd grade classroom which consisted of 17 students of which 8 were girls and 9 were boys. This interview and observation was a total of 2

I am disconnected, lacking contact with reality. It happened in an instant and gradually intensified over time. October of 2015, I had just turned 14 and everything was average, mediocre. I was subdued at this time for reasons I cannot recall and hadn’t been talking much in class. The issue commenced in chemistry class in what lasted a second but felt like a lifetime. The class had been divided into groups, and we were assigned to create a poster. After half an hour of doing the entirety of the work myself, the poster was completed, and I was satisfied with it. Each group was to choose a person to represent their group and explain the poster. Fortunately, I was not chosen. After each poster was presented, they were each taped to the whiteboard

A significant event that happened today involved a child who was demonstrating stubbornness. The teacher had an activity planned for me, which dealt with number recognition. Essentially, the teacher provided instructions, directing me to present a number from 1-10, where then the child would count the number of bear figurines to match the given number. I came across one child who was being difficult and did not want to wait her turn while I was assisting the other children. She kept peeking her head through the door asking if it was her turn, as I kept telling her that I would call her when it was. Finally, when it got to her turn, I called her into the back room and told her to count six bears. Instead, she told me she did not want to and that she wanted

I got the chance to see three grade levels during the observation. The first grade I got to see was third grade and they were at p.e. and I even though I only got to observe the third grades for 15 minutes, I learned that it’s important that the kids get up and move every day. Also, that by the kids playing they learn how to work with each other. Then when it was time for the kids to go the teacher blew a whistle and all the kids ran and got into two lines. When the teacher saw that everyone was in line, he started walking while the kids followed in an orderly manner to go to lunch. The second grade level I got to see was fourth grade. I only got to stay in the class for 20 minutes but during that time the kids were

I was hopeful that the day would be a success. It was the same routine in a new environment. Fortunately, my first day at Larned High School started like every first day before. The principal, Mr. Langdon, gathered all the students and welcomed us into a new school year. His speech filled the room with excitement and optimism for the new year. After the ground rules were set we set forth for our first class. I would never have realized the challenges I would face in Biology. My instructor, Miss Moser, started off the year with a stern no-nonsense policy. Fear swept over the room. For the first two weeks, I did not dare speak, and I did not wish to cause any trouble. As long as I did not say anything I could not be wrong. To start the class, we began reviewing what the class should already know. It was difficult to figure out what I needed to know because she had such high expectations for the class. After the longest hour of my life, the class was finally over. I bolted

After lunch Miss B asked me to help all students to get ready for PE. When all students changed their clothes I asked them to line up. Some of students pushed each other and there was a gap between them. First, I put them in a line order, so that friends were not near each other, and the sneaky kids were in the middle of the line. If they have no one to talk to they can’t say much!

In the classroom the children are putting their final touches to the building project. Every child had a specific job for the project. It was in between being a plumber, electrician, painter, and carpenter. I was instructed to create a file that had a child picture and dialogue.The following day we were brought into the William Paterson campus.The environment and the professors were very welcoming. We first went into a meeting that involved teacher discussions.The question was “What Schools should focus on.” A lot of teachers had great topics to discuss such as “How could we find money for schools?” I took the advantage to ask a question as well “How could we involve technology in classrooms for the new generation.” This was a topic that I truly was interested in since we talked about it a lot in

Due to unforeseen circumstances, my teacher fell ill and was unable to return that school year. Because of the short notice, we did not have a teacher for month span and lost precious time to learn the material. Instead of waiting for a suitable substitute, I decided to learn the material independently and benefited greatly from this. When a suitable substitute came, we had to learn the material at even faster rate than before. Seeing the other students struggle with the intensity, I decided to help them and spend extra time explaining to them the lessons. Although they did not completely appreciate my help, I surely did help them. However, I found that through helping others I was truly helping myself. The help I gave them was another way to enhance my understanding of chemistry which led to a four on the AP exam

The mens’ soccer game vs. South Alamacen was the athletic event which I attended. The game was at home at the soccer field and it started at 6:00 PM, August 23. The game was comprised of two 45-minute halves with no overtime, so it was possible for the game to end in a tie. Early in the first half of the game, South Alamacen scored two goals, making the score 2-0 with South Alamacen in the lead. With 26 minutes remaining in the first half, NCSSM scored which made the score 2-1. Three minutes later, South Alamacen scored which made the score 3-1, but two minutes after that Joe Benson scored for NCSSM making the game 3-2 with 20 minutes left in the first half. Many students were in attendance, with more students showing up as halftime drew to a close. By halftime, there was a student section full of kids while parents filled up the other two bleachers.

During this observation I observed a young girl who we will call “Kayla” she was working on her daily journal. I asked the teacher if it would be okay if I asked “Kayla” to tell me a story about her journal page and then have her act it out with a few friends the teacher was actually very excited about this. So when I asked “Kayla” to tell me a story about the time she and her family went to the beach she was super excited I told her I was going to write it down so we could act it out later.

During first semester, Mu Alpha Theta, a math honors society. The chapter in my high school requires its members to fulfill a minimum of 7 service hours. These hours were obtained through the tutoring of high school students in lower level math courses. The student I tutored expressed a great dislike and frustration in mathematics. Every Monday afternoon, it was the same situation: I would see a failed test or an unfinished homework assignment. I wanted to help them get better, therefore each Monday I would sit down with him for an hour, sometimes later, and we would go over those questions together. One session, we sat down and they pulled out a recent test. I was ecstatic to see they had improved on a topic we had worked on!

In around December of last year, 7B students at Cooper Middle School, in Buffalo Grove, had experienced something no other pupils had encountered that year. A canceled field trip, due to the weather conditions. All students ready to go with their bagged lunches and drawstring bags hearing it was canceled over the intercoms. People dropping their smile to a frown because they were so excited to go, and getting let down. 7A students not affected because they previously got to experience the fun. We interviewed the teachers, and overall they said, "It was a sad occurrence for many." Overall it was a sad day for many, but they got to make it up after all.

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.

McCourt’s first day of teaching was rather unusual. He was anxious and completely unprepared. The thought of being an invisible man at the front of the room causes him to forget his opening statements. Suddenly a student throws a sandwich at him. McCourt takes it, and while the class expects a punishment, he eats it instead (McCourt, 16). Like McCourt’s first day teaching at a public high school, my first day helping out at the Albion After School Program was a lot to handle. It was my first time helping out students younger than 15 years of age. These kids were restless and at a point in their lives were cognitive development is crucial. Coming from a completely different background made me feel out of place the first day, however as the day went by I grew comfortable and the kids seemed to enjoy my presence. I was able to teach some kids cool ways that I learned how to solve certain scenarios/problems.

Because we are to respect our teachers, when I am taught macroevolution, I take on board what my teacher teaches, when I am given homework on that subject I would describe the processes my teacher has taught me, I am simply regurgitating this fairy story that I need to get as accurate as possible, after all how could I criticise something I did not understand the concept of, in fact I use the words- proposed, theory, dogma, ideology more than I use the word macroevolution, why? Simply because his job as a science teacher is different than say a maths teacher, one teacher teaches facts the other theories, theories are open to ideology and error, not just related to the natural
