How did it go?
When reflecting on Sweeney elementary school field day and teacher observation, I could make many comparisons to the Book Becoming a Master Teacher. When running field day activities you noticed right away a universal discipline was employed. The system was more on the side of assertive disciple, when seeing students off task or misbehaving they would receive a warning, when continuing to misbehave they would be asked to sit-out or be removed from the activity. This system worked really well because all students had a clear understanding of behavioral expectations. The field day events ran on time, there was a planed time system. Teachers were given a card with the order, times and location of which event each class needed to be at, so that there were no miscommunications. With the time system some teacher still would not be on time with their classes. When observing the teachers that showed up late to each station, always looked unhappy and were overweight. These teachers are the ones that complained the most and probably lack respect for the physical education perfusion. The activities that the student

The teacher had time to finish setting up and interact with a few students in the class before starting the lesson. The instant activity made this possible; it also allowed students to be more focused when starting the lesson. When starting the introduction to the lesson plan the teacher did a good job of giving them one cue and objective at a time, students really grasped the objective of the lesson plan. Students didn’t have any confusion on what the purpose of the lessons objective. When the instant activity was over students had an idea of what they would be doing in class that day, scaffolding some ideas.

    Doing clinical observations are very important because it gives a change to see student and teacher interactions first hand and get to see how well a student is responding. During my observations at Biddeford Intermediate School, I got the change to shadow an Ed. Teach in a life skills room. This was a great opportunity for me because it was a chance to see another kind of intervention done in the special education department. I have done many observations with an occupational therapist, and they have always been in lighting and very educational, but to visit a life skills room gave me more perspective on the special education department as a whole.…

    Some high school's districts grappled because the school's sports schedules would be infected by starting the high schools later. That was a central worry to some of the school districts. They came up with an idea that the high school students agreed to shorten the number of minutes they take to get from one class to another, it was called passing time. The result was that high schoolers could start school later but end school at about the same time, without disrupting the athlete's schedules. Teachers especially wanted to change because they were concerned about student's attendance and student's readiness to learn the first period of the day.…

    I did an observation at Green Valley Elementary School, a small public school near my house. While observing I noticed that there isn’t a lot of family involvement in the classroom, this is understandable since having family members in the classroom might distract the students. However, parent involvement is encouraged as seen in various bulletin board and fliers located all around the school. The staff at the school was very friendly and open, the educators understood my questions and were not hesitant to answer or engage in conversation. When asked “What does a teacher do to get parents involved?”…

    The teacher would start the lesson with a short goal, to make it clear for the students that did not understand the lesson. She made a short goal, because it helped the students understand what they were going to be doing during and after she did the lesson. The teacher gave the students many opportunities to practice the skills and she would present the new material in small steps to help the students understand the concept better.…

    I really enjoyed the time I spent in Mrs. Flinn’s fourth grade classroom over Spring Break. I was able to observe for a total of four hours between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. During my time with the fourth graders, I took a closer look at the solid behavior classroom supports being used. Along with these supports, I was extremely impressed by the way Mrs. Flinn handled classroom management. Even though I observed during a very exciting week, she had great control over her students.…
