The Student That I Observed

For this activity I was responsible for being part of our interview panel to hire our middle school basketball coaches. We hired four coaches to help mentor our fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade boys’ basketball teams. I was part of a three person interview panel that featured our principal, athletic director, and me. This interview process was the first time I’ve been a part of hiring someone to feel a need at the school. The topic we interviewed is something I was comfortable with because I have coached basketball the past six years. I felt like I could find us the right fit and discussed the opportunity to be a part of the hiring process because of the need of this internship activity. It’s hard to find an interview process during the year for teachers, but I believe coaching is a great substitute for teaching because it is an extension of the classroom. Learning how to play a sport and how you conduct yourself on the court can help you later in life. I wanted to find a candidate that could be a role model for the students and help teach them life lessons through the game of basketball. We all agreed we are looking for someone who will stress that basketball doesn’t come above our education and our families. Our school has struggled with student achievement and I think sports can help motivate students to do better in the classroom. The class that best aligns with the hiring process is EL 5623. This class helped us learn

In conclusion that Every educator observes the children identify the skills and abilities to be able to support the children’s development. In each age groups, the children develop skills and abilities at their own pace, however, the skills of preschoolers, kindergarten, and school-age have a wider development differences. That I noticed the Skills that was Observed in School-Age Video they knew how to explain the basic rules of the game to the educator, where the children were able to play Beyblade with rules, Also, they were using their memory where they knew how to explain the rules of the game . The school age was using self-regulation because they are planning how to play the game and how to start the game where they are becoming more selective and adaptable where they are waiting for their group members to be ready so they can start to play the game.

As a Physical Education teacher of Year 9 and 10 students, it is important to take steps to achieve prolonged participation in sport. The experience that a student has in HPE is likely to determine whether that student continues to participate in sport both at school and once they graduate (Penney, 2006). Wahl-Alexander (2011) found that students’ strongest memories from physical education were from authentic and rich sport experiences resulting from Sport Education (Siedentop & Tannehill, 2006). Sport Education aims to ensure the unit is delivered in a way that mimics an actual sport season, which has many

One student I observed had severe disabilities. She seems to be very high on the Autism spectrum. She spent most of her time in the other room, but from what I saw she had severe communication difficulties, would repeat words, and would repeat actions like spinning and rocking. She also showed aggressive behaviors, especially when she didn’t want to do something, like read.

The book, “Teaching Exceptional Children” reiterates the idea of having an aide in a classroom when it directly states, “students with autism can be very successful when they are placed in their least restrictive environments for physical education and have the needed supplementary aids and services present to assist them with meeting their physical education goal” (Menear and Smith, pg. 36). Allowing an aide into my classroom will ensure my students with autism will receive the individualized attention needed and ensure maximum learning has

When I first started this experience, I was nervous. The reason being that my only other experience was through observing an athletic trainer; But this was different because it was the field I would be enduring in my future. This experience was a way for me to determine if the field that I am so close to obtaining is a right fit for me or if I had almost graduated in a field that I would completely dislike.

I had the amazing privilege to observe Erin Herrmann, who is the head athletic trainer at Putnam City North High School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The reason why she was chosen for my observation hour was because she has the job that I am yearning to obtain after I earn my master’s degree in athletic training. This occupation is completely relevant to exercise physiology because athletic trainers have the opportunity to help injured athletes to recover by creating, facilitating, and assisting athletes with their rehabilitation assignments.

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.

I am a cross age tutor for physical education. This means I am the PE coach of twenty-seven first graders. As a coach, I am responsible for my students, and I have to try and motivate them to participate. I am also in charge of organizing and demonstrating activities for the class. Being the oldest of 6 kids, I am often around young children. I incorporate my experiences with my siblings to help me with my first graders. My knowledge from my siblings make me a better cross age tutor. I have the patience to wait for the children to settle down. I can speak in a kid friendly tone and language, but also make them aware that I’m their coach. As their coach, I notice some students don’t enjoy physical education. My job is to make sure all my students

It made me realize some things that I didn’t know before. This experience showed me how much of an impact I can have on the students I teach and I am excited be a role model for all of them. I am committed to being an effective physical educator so that my future students can grow to be the best they can be. I can help lead them down the right path of success. Before going into this experience I would have never imagined myself teaching students at the middle school level, but I realized from observing that I would actually love to teach students at this level. The students at the middle school were a lot of fun to work with. They thought everything was new and exciting. The students at Bleeker Middle School wanted to try anything and they really made the best out of everything, including the Fitnessgram testing. I think that I could be a good role model for these students. This field experience has made me even more excited for my future as a physical

Working with students that are labeled as special education can be very difficult and very time consuming. In the 7th grade special education classroom there is a girl named Blair who is moderately autistic. Blair requires a para professional to be with her at all times during the day. Her para gets her every morning from her car, spends the whole day with her, then walks her out out to her car at the end of the day. Blair struggles a lot in school, her special education teacher, Miss Humphrey, told me that she can read perfectly but once she is finished reading something, she has no idea what it is she just read. Blair is always the first one to raise her hand in class and is always apologizing for things

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.

All it takes is seven seconds to completely assess and categorize a person you’ve barely met. This has happened to everyone, especially as a student. Small visual clues such as one’s expression, their race, gender, demeanor, and clothing, set the precedent for how the teacher will view their students from the beginning of the school year to the last day. Most favoritism teachers dole out is subconscious. The reason they may gravitate towards and dote on particular kids could stem from the initial assessment they made or even bias. Humans tend to gravitate towards others similar to them. While there is the belief that teachers playing favourites is natural, necessary, and unavoidable, this behavior is harmful to the student, harmful to their peers, and is often completely irrational.

My English teacher during my junior year always had this saying, "Integrity is everything." She 'd say it at least five times every class period. I never fully understood what she meant until about half way through my junior year when I was emailed a link from one of my friends. This link had all the history tests with all answers that we would be taking that year. My friend said he had found the website after Googling some questions that were on the old tests. He stated that he didn 't want to feel stingy so he decided to share the website with me and a few other close friends that he knew were determined to get A 's that semester. I was faced with a sticky situation.
