...On Tuesday November 29, 2016 I went to visit Mrs. Maassen’s second grade classroom at Orange City Elementary School to observe. When we first walked into the classroom I noticed that it was nicely set up and welcoming. They started class right after they had come in from recess with a short Christmas story and then they moved onto math lessons right after. The classroom environment is diverse it is a fairly large class and they are all very different and unique from one another. The physical learning environment differentiated is such a way to assist in the student’s learning The classroom set up in different sections, there is a reading section, math section, a desk area and board space. Mrs. Maassen’s classroom was very organized and it looked very put together and everything had its own spot. The desks were set up into a few different pods in groups of 4-6. The students support each other in learning in partner work and in group work. How they are arranged in pods helps. For example, they were able to discuss with their tables what the correct time was during the math lesson on time. In this lesson students were to find the answer on their own and then they could discuss it with a partner. Also if some students were really struggling they could go to the back of the classroom and work it with...

...I observed at Teravista Elementary School in Round Rock ISD. During my observation, I was in a fifth-grade language arts/reading and math class. My focus was a female student (11 years old) who was placed in Special Education for behavioral issues. I was there for approximately three months (February - April). During my observation, I noticed a few strategies and techniques the teacher used to deter undesirable behaviors. One of the tactics I noticed the teacher used was to ignore the student. In previous observations, I have noticed that this is a common strategy teacher and paraprofessionals use to help reduce disruptive behaviors. In this instance, the teacher did not cater to the student’s need for attention. For example, the student would do random verbal outbursts in the middle of the lesson. At this point, the teacher would either ignore the outburst and continue with the lesson. However, at times that teacher would simply...

...Monday, May 9, I began my experience observing the special education room at Chiloquin Elementary. When I stepped into the classroom, I was immediately struck by the vibrant energy emanating from the students and the welcoming atmosphere that was carefully crafted by the teacher. Over the course of an hour and a half, I got the chance to really discover the dynamic environment, quietly observing the interactions between students and educators, as well as the physical setup of the classroom. Of course, this was no easy task as the students wanted to know everything they could about me as soon as they noticed my presence. The physical setting was, at first glance, very inviting, and I felt relaxed. There is a short carpet in the room that's...

...This experience observing Ms. Brodsky at Hernando Elementary School has been one I will never forget. I learned, practiced, and discovered more about being an educator than I ever thought I would. I genuinely believe that I was meant to be apart of this classroom and this environment. Throughout the year, I gained confidence and skills that are essential as an educator. Every lesson, every project, and every child taught me something new. Whether it was how to engage students in a particular lesson, or how children respond to various styles, everyday was packed with helpful information. Ms. Brodsky made me feel as if I was her equal. She allowed me many opportunities to gather information and to thrive. She helped me plan lessons, she asked...

...I performed an observation in Mrs. Shirley’s resource room. Mrs. Shirley is a co-teacher and resource teacher at Tesnatee Gap Elementary. Mrs. Shirley began her day by helping another teacher by preparing her room for her because she would be coming to school late. Mrs. Shirley then returned to her room at 8:50 a.m. to prepare for her students to come to their math resource class. Mrs. Shirley greeted her students as they entered the room. The students went to the carpet, sat down, and patiently waited for instruction. One child was crying, so Mrs. Shirley asked the lady that brought the children what was wrong with him. The lady informed Mrs. Shirley that he was upset because he missed his mother. The child had been out the Friday before; therefore, he was off his routine. Mrs. Shirley comforted the student telling him that he would be able to go home soon and that he was okay. The child continued to cry; however, when Mrs. Shirley asked him to...

To enter the school everyone needs to push a button and then the main office opens the door.

...THE RESEARCH PROBLEM Introduction This Action Research was undertaken to describe the impact of teacher-made advance exercises as intervention on disruptive behavior of pupils when learning division skills in elementary arithmetic operation. The subjects of this study were Grade Two – A pupils who were constantly disrupting the class during Mathematics period taken from the list made by the teacher through visual observation. For the last two grading periods handling a cream class, a lot of repeated disruptive behaviors such as incessant talking or getting out of their seats to name a few, which were very taxing to the teacher, were observed. These disruptive behaviors were mostly due to boredom especially to those pupils who got to finish their seatwork fast. This called for a classroom management skill. Hollowell (2013) mentioned in her article that classroom management skills are essential for all teachers. Supervising a group of children with different personalities and backgrounds is a challenging task. You are responsible for their academic growth while ensuring that the learning environment stays welcoming and secure. This includes dealing with disruptive pupils. According to Tyson (2013), disruptive students are always present in every classroom. Regardless of scenario or perhaps how great you happen to be as being a teacher, in one way or another they will and can be found. All of which will develop problems provided an open possibility. But we cannot...

...Teacher Interview and Observation on Lesson Implementation Theresa Flournoy University of Phoenix/Axia College EDU 310 At 1:00 p.m. I entered into Evoline C. West Elementary school on Thursday, July 12 2012 for an interview with Mrs. Yolanda Lawrence. As I entered the classroom, I was greeted by Mrs. Lawrence, the head teacher in this classroom. Mrs. Lawrence has no assistant at this present because of it being in the summer. After I entered into the classroom, the entire class welcomed me with “hello Ms. Flournoy”. It made my day to see all of those smiley faces greeting me. This was a 2nd grade classroom which consisted of 17 students of which 8 were girls and 9 were boys. This interview and observation was a total of 2 hours long. During the observation of Mrs. Lawrence classroom, I noticed how the students flocked under Mrs. Lawrence as she started reading one their favorite books before they did their afternoon lesson. For some reason I got an excitement about doing this interview. My Observation of a Lesson Plan Once the story was over, Mrs. Lawrence had the students to go back to their desk because Math class was getting ready to begin. Mrs. Lawrence reminded the student that they would continue with their study on multiplication as they have been doing for the past two weeks. Mrs. Lawrence listed math objective on the chalk board and manipulative on the back table. When the lesson begins, the students are in a large group and then they moved to...
