Thankfully, there were still enough people to observe I just thought there were going to be so many people that it was going to be difficult to focus on one individual. I proceeded to sit down, retrieve my pen and paper, and scan the room. When…

Walking into Bob Gibbard’s office feels like walking into a lion’s den. He is incredibly tall and solid, sitting behind his computer just waiting for someone to walk through his door and ask for advice. If I were a freshman and Bob was my advisor, I would be terrified. That is, until he opens his mouth. Once you get past all of the military posters and accolades that scatter his office, there sits a genuine and thoughtful man, someone who reminds me of my grandfather. I’ve had the pleasure of…
Classroom Observation As teachers, we would never consider teaching an entire unit to our students without frequently checking on their understanding, monitoring their progress, providing additional support, and finally evaluating their performance.

Administration teams must carefully…

were all informed that each individual student had to observe eight to ten hours of people interacting within our topic. Once all the observations were complete the groups were meant to reform and create a presentation that would inform the class on their findings. The rest of this paper contains all of our group 's protocols and results. Before we started observation, we had to answer some questions. These questions can be broken down simple into who, what, where, when, how, and who is…

of protection? A lot of factors play a significant role in what makes youths turn to gangs. To make sure all possible factors are looked upon, it would be key to, observe youths within gangs and then base your hypothesis off of your observations. During the observation period, we would collect and analyze data related to the behaviors of the youths in gangs. This data and analysis would then be used to form a theory that is tested through the formation of a hypothesis (Kendall 40). Using…
cooperative groups of two to four students for this engineering activity. For this clinical supervision process, I used the Framework for Teaching form F for pre- and post-conferences and form G for the formal observation summary. These forms analyzed areas of planning and preparation, the classroom environment, and the instruction. They also help the teacher to reflect on instructional goals, differentiation, engaging students in their learning, and the success of the lesson. I used this to…
