My focus area for this observation: Organizational and Management
There are several best practices I found in this observation with Ms. Robinson classroom, which is organizational and time management
During the observation, of Ms. Robinson classroom organizational skills were noticed in the classroom with the layout of the room and materials easily accessible. When entering the room, the students had a clear understanding of knowing where everything belongs. An example of this occurred with the daily behavioral report folded label with date and time when an infraction of the rules occurs. Also, the teacher marked all workstation and reading station with books from fiction to nonfiction. Each work activity separated with the daily instruction …show more content…

Robinson classroom exhibited her organizational skills as the student's maneuver throughout the classroom without encountering confusion on completing assignments.
Although, the most useful tool Mrs. Robinson used is having the class rules and procedures visible on a bulletin board. For additional help with the subject, a display of learning posters covered the windows and walls. Equally, organized of her classroom was a data profile on each student’s weekly test, a progress of improvement or needed additional tutoring recorded on a data sheet in her computer. However, the most impressive were how she utilized time management skills contribute to accounting for a productive learning experience to students completing work before time and additional work administered.
Furthermore, the instructor decides the length of students work also is it independent or group work balancing the time between the two. To ensure that all students were present before class began the teacher would read fifteen minutes at the start of the day. Also, a student helper assigned each week to assist the teacher to pass out papers, and turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. These educational tools will be helpful in developing my style of organizing the class with implementation of changing the desks in one single aisle with seven in each row and using gestures (clapping or pointing) to prompt students’ response. As the teacher, I would teach the children of my expectations in the classroom on their performance by motoring and keep them on

The fourth finding I found was that even though Pre-K environments have an emphasis on group activities there was often a designated area in the classroom where children could go and be alone and self-reflect. However, these spaces were used differently throughout the three programs. In one program children went to what they called the “cool down chair” when they misbehaved. In this particular program usually a talkative child who may have been disruptive would have to go to the chair and think about what he or she did wrong. The chair was located in a corner where there were crayons and other play items that the child was allowed to use, but mainly it was a sort of punishment.

When reading Chapter 5 “Craig Seganti on Taking charge in the classroom”, the overall chapter was interesting when it comes to managing a classroom. As a teacher, we want to be able to control the structure of a classroom, but at times is unable to accomplish the task due to our student’s behaviors. At the beginning of the chapter it states a productive classroom may have difficulties but it is the way a teacher present themselves along with the rules of the classroom determines the outcome of the student’s actions. When presenting to the students the rules of the classroom, the teacher needs to present the rules on the first day of school and have the students sign a copy to ensure they are aware of the information.

At Frist Presbyterian Church of Bakerstown I learned while observing and interacting how some of the different set up of areas impacted a student’s learning and space. Some of the areas were used for quiet time, noisier activities, and more active learning. This related to the (Component 2e) because organizing physical space around the classroom provides the student a variety of ways to learn together or alone inside the classroom while also developing their social skills and working through any academic or social difficulties (Component 2d). Lastly, at Head Start the lead teacher provided the students with daily duties inside the classroom. For example, some of the students had the responsibility to clean up stations, and prepare the snack/lunch for the class.

The following experiences with children have been completed throughout 2014-2016: • Westminster College Preschool Lab • Hance Elementary School Field Experience • New Castle Head Start As I reflect on my experience in working with a variety of different types and ages of children, I realize the importance of Component 3a of Domain 3: Communicating with children.

As importantly as speaking, I needed to be a proactive and interactive

Class Dojo is a behavior management system for students to earn points for specific positive behaviors and lose points for specific poor behaviors. The types of behaviors can be created by the teacher, so I may include categories such as persistence, teamwork, progress, participating, misusing materials, unprepared, off task, and disrespectful. Class Dojo can be accessed on the Smart Board and points can be easily distributed throughout class. A feature of this application is that it utilizes a sound for when a positive behavior is rewarded and a different sound for when poor behavior is recognized, so students know whether they are meeting the expectations. Another feature that is available on this application is the ability to communicate with the students’ parents.

“Every child has a different learning style and pace. Each child is unique, not only capable of learning but also capable of succeeding,” states Robert John Meehan. Children are all unique in their own ways and it is the teacher’s job to help every student succeed despite their differences. Observations prepare future teachers to experience firsthand how classrooms are conducted every day; in turn, providing them with the resources that will eventually exist in their own classrooms. While on my observation, I learned many valuable techniques, and gained insight on what it would be like in an integrated pre-kindergarten classroom.
