On 3/29/2016 I spoke with Leahanne Garcia at the operation. Leahanne stated she has been employed at the operation since May 2015 as a Teacher assistant. Leahanne stated on Wednesday (3/23) that the children had just woken up from nap and Andi was leading circle time, while she was moving the block center shelf back to its position. She stated the children had started to get up from the rug for center time when she heard Andi yelling "get up, get up" and was yanking Isiah up by his arm. Andi then started telling him "you will listen to me" while pointing a finger in his face.
Most classrooms are analogous in their basic structure. They typically consist of the essential accessories such as chairs, tables, and desks. However moving past the basic structures they become more unique. Their distinguished qualities, often correspond with varying influential factors. These factors include, instructor and subject matter, school setting, and student population.
Mary Lonergan Mr. Pellerin Ap Lit 2/8/2023 Both poems by Willbur and Collins explore the consequences of shielding children from harsh truths, as Willbur describes a caretaker lying to a child about an owl’s call in the “Barred Owl”, while Collins’ poem, the “History Teacher” contains a history teacher who disguises the truth about historical events to his class. Although both poems deal with themes of truthfulness, Collins’s poem explores the serious consequences of sugarcoating historical information, while the lie described in Wilbur’s poem has far less of an impact. Furthermore, although Wilbur and Collins make different choices in terms of literary devices, both poems follow a similar structure, with the content of the lies presented
Based on the article, Julie Rogers-Martin a teacher at East Lake Elementary School in Atlanta, Georgia felt she was a bad teacher because her students was not scoring as well on the state’s standardized test as the other teacher’s students. Even students that had new teachers scored higher than Rogers-Martin. Executives held her up as a model, applauding her classroom administration aptitudes and utilization of innovation and showcasing her class to folks and directors. A report was done which found that bamboozling happened as ahead of schedule as 2001 and that rehashed notices were disregarded by those high up in the Atlanta educational system.
My evaluation of two months employment at TPS/Eugene Elementary was not based on my professional criterion. Instead, it was judged by parents of a group of students who did not want to do their class work and follow class rules. They went to the office making up a bunch of stories about me. I was not informed until my evaluation. I did not know what was going on.
This is a unique case because the school is facing budget cuts and large class sizes. A typical class has three groups learning at any given time – one group receiving traditional instruction with the teacher, one group working independently at their own pace on computers, and one group working collaboratively in small groups. The school day is broken into two hour blocks with 40 minutes allotted to each station in the rotation. Each student has their own laptop for use during the school day. The school has found this model to be successful with their diverse group of learners, and they have found it to be a cost saving initiative Corry, M., & Carlson-Bancroft, A. (2014).
In my last week in Wilkinson Middle School I was observing Classroom Procedures .Ms. Culberson is a very fun teacher but she is really strict in every one that enters her classroom knows that .Ms. Culberson might not be in the class whenever the bell rings but her students know to start in the bell ringer. She times her student and they all have to work quickly and quietly. They grade the bell ringer after words she asks for their grade and they have to say it out loud.
Teachers get to know their students very well. Since students in middle school are going through physical, social, and psychological development that could affect their academic performance, it is important to have teachers who really get to know their students. Every learner has different needs and teachers need to take into consideration the individual learning needs of students in order to help them succeed. Since the four teacher share the same students they are able to discuss the needs of their student in order to develop strategies and programs that may help the student. This assures that no student falls through the cracks.
My response to what we had to read in both class and at home is that I am speechless. You would think people would change, but then you remember not everyone has the same mentality as you do. When we read stories like this you can’t help but feel pain inside. You can’t help but feel empathetic toward the Indians. We were made to see the Indians as helpless and not who we want to be, but why?
If students did not have computers, they would pay more attention. As a result, the scholars would also have better grades. The school Internet would be faster without the high number of computers. The Internet at PND is slow to begin with, and the high number of computers slows it more.
A classroom filled with desks like a pack of sardines are sealed tight, is not an ideal learning environment. Even though public schools obtain more tax dollars for more students, sometimes more students are not the best case. Teacher to student ratios should be about twenty students per teacher at the elementary level, focusing on kindergarten through fifth grade (Semi). Depending on location, some schools are overcrowded and consist of up to thirty students in one classroom. From science class, to the other end of the spectrum, music, these different types of classes are both overcrowded in almost a fourth of US public schools.
The small number of students allowed the teacher and paraprofessional to have a more personal relationship with the student and understand their needs better. A weakness of the self-contained setting is the differing levels of exceptionalities. There were about five students that I feel could have been in an inclusive classroom. The other five still had differing disabilities that made it difficult to meet each of their needs. I think it had to do with the clumping of grades together.
The class consists of main teacher, one co-teacher, and 20 students without any special needs or disabilities (14 girls 6 boys). The difference between the general classroom and the special education classroom that was the students very quiet and didn 't make a lot of noise like in the special education classroom. The classroom was very small for 22 students. I was surprised when I entered the general classroom. all the girls in the front and all the boys were back.
The classroom that I will be observing is a Preschool classroom at KinderCare Learning Center in Bartlett, Illinois. The teacher I will be observing over the next period of time is Laura Sturgulewski. She has worked at KinderCare for 8 years, mostly in the 2 year-old room until fall of 2013, when she took the lead teaching position of the Preschool classroom. Her classroom mainly has 3 year-olds, but on occasion has a mix of 4 year-olds and transitioning 2 year-olds. The number of students in her class depends on the day, because they are a child care center some students have a part time schedule, unlike an elementary school where children attend every day.
things as simple as a seating arrangement promotes fairness. every student gets a spot to sit and no desk is any better than another. avoiding favoritism and prejudice is also a way to promote fairness in class. students notice when the same people are called on repeatedly. As a teacher it is important to make sure all students have access to learning.
