I observed for five hours at Westside Elementary School. Westside Elementary School is located on the edge of Sumner County. I observed a 5th grade elementary classroom. There was 9 boys and 13 girls, so there was a total of 22 students. The students were equal in gender. The class had two children who had to be pulled for deeper help from the resource teacher. There was also a mix of race within the class. The school was amazing at keeping up with the data from each student that attended Westside. Each classroom had the appropriate and up to date standards posted on the wall. The teachers called the standards “I can statements.” I selected Westside Elementary because I wanted to receive the best experience possible, and I had heard nothing but great things about the school. When I first entered the classroom, I was informed that the …show more content…

She started on time, and she was very good at multitasking. She was able to help each student whenever they needed it. A smartboard, a document camera, and books were used to help the students learn the math lesson that was being taught. The teacher used great and very effective classroom management. She made all of the students sit correctly. She made the students listen. She made sure they knew she was in control, but she was not aggressive in any way. The last hour that I was there the students broke up into groups by the tier that they were in. I stayed with the teacher, and she was with tier 2 students. She used a reward system, for example, she promised that the students could go outside if they did their best, to get each student to achieve their goal. No conflict arose while I was there, but she did make a student separate from the other students for not listening to her and for being a distraction. The teacher taught very effectively. She challenged the students to think, and she was also there to guide the students if they needed

Stonecreek is a public middle school in the Panama Buena Vista School District, where we say, “En loco parentis”, Latin for, “In the place of the parents”. In other words, we will look after your child as if it were our own child, for the whole school day. Many believe it is impossible, with over 200 children at our school, however, what those people don’t believe, is that we have been doing this for over 8 years, and we still have taken good care of them for all these years. We rarely receive any problems with our students, and if we do, we take whatever precaution we find necessary. If you wish to hear the rules we have, and the precautions we are willing to take, meet us in our office at 8000 Akers Rd, Bakersfield, from 8:25 a.m. to 3:25

In addition, the Government Accountability Office [GAO] (2016) reported: “from school years 2000-2001 to 2013-2014, the percentage of all K-12 public schools that had high percentages of poor and black or Hispanic students grew from 9 to 16 percent” (p. 2). These findings suggest that practices of racially and economically segregating students of color continue unresolved. Sadly, poverty and race are automatic disqualifiers for children of color to have equal access to quality

Ever since Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954, schools have been desegregated and students off all races and ethnicities can attend the same school. However, this reform did not ensure that all students were being accommodated. Students with high cognitive abilities found themselves not being challenged and those with cognitive skills on the lower end of the spectrum found themselves not being accepted into schools. Thus, reforms such as IDEA were formed to accommodate every individual and ensure that all students are getting the best education as possible. Seems perfect right?

Segregated schools ended in 1954. At least that’s what students were told to believe. So many working class students have been affected in almost every aspect of their life, such as academically, mentally and emotionally. There no longer have to be two completely different types of schools for whites and for blacks, in order to see that segregation is still a huge part of the school system today. Economic segregation in schools has impacted many working class students in a very negative way.

Every students learns things different ways, and Torey made sure she taught to accommodate each individual child’s learning style. She also taught them etiquette and manners and defined what typical classroom behavior consisted of.

Modern day classrooms were unheard and unseen of more than 50 years ago. If we were to travel back to the past and step foot in classrooms of that time, one theme would run throughout.

Before the Civil Rights Movement of 1964 and during slavery, classrooms were split up based on color and were limited resources depending on the color of their skin. (Graglia, 2014)
