Kristi and Catherine's views are different about Ryan because Kristi just moved into Catherine and Ryan’s neighborhood and does not know how Ryan can be a little mean sometimes. Catherine knows how Ryan can be mean sometimes because David has experienced Ryan not being nice to him by telling David was going to take his umbrella. Also Catherine was on the bus with David and she was standing up for David. Kristi only talked to Ryan once she hasn't experienced what David did when Ryan was going to take his umbrella. That day on the bus David held onto his bright red umbrella so tight because David was scared of Ryan taking his bright red umbrella.…
In order to have effective instruction, teachers need an understanding of child development. Children experience changes socially, emotionally, and behaviorally throughout their years in school. Teachers can implement research-based strategies to help promote a positive and accepting environment where these changes can take place. In the case study “Another Typical Day,” Mrs. Arling must meet the social and emotional demands and needs of her students, while ensuring that they are making necessary progress in their academic development. Studies show that when teachers design activities that incorporate collaborative learning with teacher assistance and lessons that present mathematical concepts in both visual and tangible ways, students are…

The Bent Tree resident has never missed a weekly deadline, still working in longhand, vigorously maintaining his aversion to both the internet and computers in general.…
Sasha needs to have structure in her classroom schedule. Mr. Fowler has not done anything to help her structure her time. Sasha also needs consequences or negative reinforcement for her behaviors (such as leaving late for lunch when she leaves a mess at her desk). I have seen no indication that Mr. Fowler has any of these things in place for Sasha. Sasha needs to learn how to take responsibility for herself and her actions.…

I appreciated the observer noticed: Anne noticed that I have become more confident in my teaching which was something I did not ask her to watch for during her observation. This meant a lot to me that she noticed my growth and the student’s growth. She said the reason why my explanations were so clear was because of my confidence. I have been struggling this semester with having confidence when I teach in tutoring and during practicum. It definitely comes and goes.…
This reflection will be in response to the field experience that was completed on the 12th of November, 2015 by Matthew Daykin. For my High School field experience, I attended Palmetto Ridge High School and observed both Mrs. Zacher’s ninth grade English class and Mrs. Reid’s ninth grade Science and Math classes. Palmetto Ridge High School (A.K.A. “The Ridge”) is a grade 9-12 school located in Naples, Florida. The Ridge has a total of 1,865 students; 46.33% of the students are listed as identifying as White, 7.29% are listed as identifying as Black, 40.8% of the students identify as Hispanic, 1.39% of the students identify as Asian, 2.63% identify as Indian, 1.29% identify as Multi-Racial, while only 0.27% identify as Hawaiian or Pacific Islander (“Palmetto Ridge High (PRH) School”, 2015). I believe my first lesson during this field experience came about a week before I actually completed my field experience at this location.…
While observing in Beth Johnston’s First Grade classroom at Eugene Field Elementary School, I have noticed some effective and ineffective classroom management practices that she uses while I have been in the classroom. One effective classroom management technique that I have observed is that Mrs. Johnston puts her student’s desks into groups of three or four. This is an effective technique because she puts her strong students with her not as strong students, which can help with the students who might need a little help staying on track with the lesson that they are supposed to get done. Also, Mrs. Johnston has changed the groups a couple of times since I have been observing in the classroom. This I believe is effective because the students…
