The teacher’s desk is located in

“In Defense of Laptops in the Classroom” by Rebecca Schuman is an article that aims to put across a point that the attitude of the students in class is a decision for the students to make. She states that being a “Laptop Police” (Para 2) – played by the professors – can be helpful to the students in learning but it is also stopping the students from making their own decisions when it comes to the attitude of learning. Schuman had presented her article in a positive stand where she does not disagree

history to all four levels of high school. Mr. Rains has spoken this lecture as well as many other lectures many times. I don’t believe he has to adapt to any environment because he had given it in his classroom in which he is in every day from 8:15 to 3:30. The lecture was given in his classroom around 2 pm, the room was kept at a temperature of 70 degrees, and the desks are in an order in which every one can see the teacher, so visibility was good.

I tried to give positive over negative in this classroom since there are a lot of below grade level readers and above level reader so I want to help those students on the lower level be proud of what they were done.

“In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn” states Phil Collins. This quote is extremely powerful in a classroom setting, where the teacher and students exchange roles constantly during the learning process. Observations are a powerful tool for future teachers due to them learning how the classroom is conducted as well as what works and does not work. My observation was at Webb City Middle School in Webb City, Missouri with Mrs. Swaim’s 6th grade social studies class. Mrs.

In Mrs. Requenes classroom you could tell that routines were familiar, because the students knew what to from the beginning of class till the end of class. For example students knew that they were supposed to put up their backpacks in a specified closet before class started. When class ended the students knew to get their backpacks and to line up at the door to be dismissed.

Classroom management is one of the most essential elements of teaching. Classroom management refers to “the wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers use to keep students organized, orderly, focused, attentive, on task, and academically productive during a class”.

His seventh period is a English II honors, which he said would be the best class for me to observe. While I was there I observed many different items we have previously addressed in class.
