At about 12:45pm, I observed Tina was screaming at Alyssa Wolfe and two other service crew workers “cherry-picking” on the R17. After my one-on-one discussions with all the service crew workers, it became apparent that Tina Williams was dissatisfied with the way the service crew workers were working as well as the fact that Christian Segers and Alyssa Wolfe switched alleys mid-shift (a switch that they claimed was approved by Ana Velez). They also said that Tina Williams was cursing at them while complaining about the way they were working. Tina Williams denies swearing at anyone and says she was just concerned about the alley. In order to avoid a prolonged disruption to production for the rest of the shift, it was agreed that Alyssa Wolfe
After the amount of hours each group practiced was revealed, Gladwell states, “…the elite performers had each totaled ten thousand hours…the merely good students had totaled eight thousand and future music teachers had totaled just over four thousand.” (12) As much as this study makes his
After the warm she went over the warm up and transition into lesson was over domain and range. At the beginning of class, the students more talkative the usual, to get their attention she would count, and the student know the quiet down because they know the
On October 29, I attended the Professor Harry F. and Mary Ruth Jackson Lunch Hour Series. While I was at the Lunch Hour series, I had the pleasure of watching Elizabeth Carville Evans and Valerie Ludlum Wright perform. Elizabeth played the flute and Valerie played the piano. The two performed individually and together, which showed the audience the beauty of both instruments individually, and how well they accompanied each other.
Watching oneself teach is a unique experience. While teaching I am unaware of my vocal tone, nervous habits, and rends of questioning or information transmission. However, when my lesson is put on tape, every moment is preserved in all their glory or infamy. During my first student teaching placement, I recorded myself teaching on the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. This tape revealed positive teaching strategies and room for improvement.
Whether it’s positive or negative, parents and teachers impact everyone’s lives in some way. “The Metaphor” by Budge Wilson is a short story told from the point of view of a gifted young girl named Charlotte. In the seventh grade Charlotte had an English teacher named Miss Hancock. While Charlotte’s mother disapproved of Miss Hancock, Charlotte loved her. Perhaps the reason Charlotte’s mother disliked Miss Hancock so much is because they are so different.
Throughout the story, the narrator makes statements such as, “There was not a sound in the classroom, except for Miss Ferenczi’s voice, and Donna DeShano’s coughing. No one even went to the bathroom” (Baxter 140). The children are interested and engaged in hearing what she has to say. The fourth graders value the idea that Miss Ferenczi is trying to impart: that learning can be fun and
In the article “Top qualities and skills of a good teacher,” Western Governors University, the most student-centric university in the world, says, “Good teachers have a huge impact on learners and help them engage in lifelong learning (Western Governors University [WGU], 2020).” Teachers who have a big impact on their students show that they care about their students. Having that amount of care for more than one student can be considered rare, which is why anybody with this quality is worthy of a Jefferson Award. In addition, Mrs. Rhodes Lundgren has said many times before that I have what it takes to perform a solo and get a good rating. She has also said that I am a great clarinet player too, which reminds me not to doubt myself when I am struggling with practicing music.
When they were finish meeting the student went back to write their final copy. A successful lesson is a lesson where my students are fully involved, listening and interacting with the and each other regarding the material presented. The teacher lessons are thought-provoking and fun at the same time because she believe the students want to have fun and that they learn more effectively when learning is a pleasure, not a chore. The true measure of a good lesson, however, is when I can look at tests and quizzes on the material and see a good level of understanding and comprehension on the student’s
Brief Summary In this selection by author John Taylor Gatto, he explains his experiences while he was a school teacher. He says that he did little actual teaching in his classroom. Instead, he asserts that he spent much of his time teaching the eponymous seven lessons of the title to his students.
His determination for honing our abilities as musicians was reflected by the extensive hours he spent at school, staying after school to provided extra support for his students with one on one interactions. On Saturdays, he hosted practices that stretched from morning to well into the afternoon. He took us to see other professional musicians in the hope of inspiring us to continue practicing. Slowly over time, our misfit orchestra began to see the beauty of music. Students played with confidence, accurate intonation, and understood how to
Before concluding this activity, Dr. Jendian told us that he was going to give extra credit to the ten students who could
Though she had already made plans for me to go to a new voice teacher that could prepare me for college auditions during my junior and senior year, I was sad to see her move. This is when I started studying under Susan Reed. Her approach was different from my first voice teacher, but I could tell when I first met her that she would prepare me for my college auditions. As a former opera singer herself she told me about some of her experience of performing, which gave me some idea of what to
During this time, they primarily worked on worksheets designed for the special education classroom as well as working on achieving their goals for accelerated reading. There were a few students who came in for an hour with work from their general education classroom and needed extra help completing their work. There were two students who had more severe disabilities, but they worked with paraprofessionals and did not do the same work as the rest of the class. One method of adjusting the work to meet the needs of the students that I noticed being used a lot in the classrooms I observed was cutting down the amount of work that they had to do. I
