How To Write A Classroom Observation

713 Words3 Pages

For this observation, I observed a sixth grade math co-taught classroom taught by Mr. Deiminick and Mr. Whitzel. This classroom is set up a little different from the normal hybrid by having desks more in rows with a couple of small groups of desks in the back. The students from this class are coming straight from lunch so, they are required to line up outside the classroom in a straight line and be silent before they are allowed to enter the classroom. When the students entered the classroom, they had new seats so the new chart was up on the board and the students were working on finding their new seat. After, the students were seated they were to start the warm-up which was ten questions to review concepts that they had been learning. When the students were done the warm-up Mr. Whitzel went over the correct answers giving the students tips to remember how to complete each problem. After the warm up was …show more content…

They also used their voice to get the students attention as well as to quiet the room. Mr. Deiminick also used a whistle during part of the class to get the students attention and this really worked to get the students quiet and working on the warm-up. Both teachers did a great job of giving positive reinforcement to those students that were working on what the teachers asked them. The transition to different activities took a long time and they were very loud. There did not seem to be a system of how the students move from one activity to the next and there is a lot of wasted time. The students in the class are grouped by mainly behavior and then by physical impairments like vision and hearing. Just like in all other math classroom in the middle school they collect data by using imagine or think through math and the students are required to complete two lessons per

Cheryl Dobbertin's Just How I Need To Learn

414 Words | 2 Pages

Cheryl Dobbertin’s Just How I Need to Learn It discusses how it is essential that students should know where they lie, regarding pre-assessments for lessons. I think her article is great and I love how this middle school math teacher implements this station teaching into her classroom. I would use this method of reflecting on pre-assessments in my classroom, because I agree that it is important for students to reflect on their placements in learning. It actually reminds me of students doing a KWL chart on themselves: what do I know, what do I want to know, and what did I learn. Students are honest about not knowing what denominators are, or mixed numbers, etc.

Culturally Responsive Mathematics Teaching

684 Words | 3 Pages

Research shows that student learning is mediated by culture, language, and other socially constructed factors; students are best understood in relation to their environment. Emily Bonner’s 2014 article represents the conclusions of a study concentrated on analyzing pedagogical practices of successful mathematics teachers in classrooms with high populations of traditionally underserved and diverse students. The study reports on the general themes and practices of culturally responsive mathematics teaching (CMRT) that have been discovered from several years of data collection from three different mathematics classrooms. “In the mathematics classroom, mathematical knowledge and an individual’s relationship to mathematics are influenced greatly by the individual’s experiences with mathematics, many of which have been framed by teachers” (Bonner, 2014). Grounded Theory was used to gather and evaluate data from three mathematics classrooms in assorted settings, each of which was tenanted by underprivileged and diverse students.

Chicka 1-9: Observation Of A Math Classroom

The students were fully engaged in the book while the teacher was reading it and then they all counted to 100 together. They do minimal learning outside of what is being explicitly taught at circle time and with the introduction of specific numbers each week. It is very short and students do not have time to really explore math concepts outside of this, as they are not learning centers set up for practicing mathematics, but I think that there should be.

The students were highly engaged. I could say that the concepts to be learn were explicitly linked to ELLs’ background experience and past learning. I listened to the teacher’s speech and voice projection, it was appropriate (not too slow, not too fast), and she emphasized the importance of being respectful/active listeners. She ensured that each students had sufficient time to respond to her questions, and clarify if a student seemed confused (regarding the objectives). As the students did the group work, Mrs. Carbone foster noticing.
