With the group of students I worked with, they understand the concept of the lesson by demonstrating and practicing the expected task during teacher-directed instruction. For example, I had each student come to the Elmo to show both peers and I how measure a writing utensil. I even had students ask the questions, “How long is the __?” or “How many inches is_____?” Students have social/pragmatic goals to improve on, which Mrs. Corcoran prefers if students demonstrate the expected learning task to show understand of what is expected and to show to their peers what is expected.

One student, who has autism, kept repeating, “Miss B we miss you and love you.” This student does have a more difficult time to transition to new changes, which I was aware of when I said thank-you and good-bye to the students. I do believe the student might mention me in the following weeks and may behave differently because I am not in the classroom. Mrs. Corcoran’s students did make me their own thank-you cards. The impact on student learning by making me thank-you cards teaches students how people can show their appreciation and gratitude.

    When observing a special education classroom I am not only observing the class, but I am observing a glimpse into my future as a teacher. I was privileged enough to observe a multi-needs intermediate classroom with students who range from eight to ten year olds at Hope D. Wall School who have moderate to server learning disorders and physical handicaps. The purpose of the multi-need classroom is for the teacher to assess which path the student will take after the year is over. For an example some students might need more intensive guidance during their education, while other students attend life skills classes in order to prepare for life outside of school. While I was observing the class, I was fortunate enough to witness the students participate…

Your assessments show that the student is well-below grade level in reading and mathematics. Answer both of the questions below, keeping each answer to about 150 words in…

    Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist and genetic epistemologist, is one of the most widely known cognitivist; he studied how children think as well as the nature of intelligence. According to (Cherry, Jean Piaget Biography (1896-1980), 2016), “Prior to Piaget’s theory, children were often thought of simply as mini-adults. Instead, Piaget suggested that the way children think is fundamentally different from the way that adults think.” “Piaget was the first psychologist to make a systematics study of cognitive development” (McLeod, 2015). But, what is cognitive development?…

    My fieldwork experience has made me understand that having numerous teaching strategies like Mrs. Meredith is very beneficial to the students. If one student does not grasp a concept when you are explaining it then you as a teacher can try showing it to them. Another way she lets the children learn is playing games and using student–student problem solving. As a teacher you just have to keep trying to help kids understand topics in their own learning style so…

    ‘Many teachers use the “one size fits all” approach where all students receive the same instruction irrespective of their specific needs; however…this style of teaching benefits only a few students’ (Cavanagh & Prescott, 2015. P.150). This assignment will agree that using a one size fits all approach to teaching will only benefit a few students. Embracing classroom inclusiveness, differentiation and the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APSTs) will guide us as teachers to appreciate the diversity of our learners and inspire, motivate and engage them to achieve their individual successes. The concept of ‘One size fits all’ will not allow for equality for the students, nor a simple task for a teacher.…
