Critical Analysis Of The Ell Classroom

Decent Essays
This class have many ENL students, including 8 kids that don’t know any English. Ms. Rouch speaks enough Spanish which helps out with these students. Ms. Roush was teaching about liquid, solid and gas, the student not understand was having their own conversation about another class. I went over and explain to them what Ms. Roush was explaining, but when I was doing that they were talking pretty loud and started disrupting the rest of the class. Later, when Ms. Roush continue to teach she decided to say the major words in Spanish and when she spoke Spanish it graves this 8 kids attention.

Critical Analysis of the Observations: I can see that Ms. Roush was trying to make sure these students stay focus and it’s hard to balance going

    Wednesday, September 16th, 2015 I did my observation of Paul Dunbar Middle School. Some of the first things I noticed when I entered the school was how enormous the school’s population is and how the school was mostly Hispanic and African American students. I arrived at the front desk and was asked by the assistant principal what was my preference of classroom. She then proceeded to take me the section of the school where the ESE classes are held. ESE stands for exceptional student education classes.…

    The classroom had 17 children in total, 1 of which was an English Learner. His name was Carlos and, saying his name to me was the only word he said in class for the duration of the time that I had been in the classroom.

    A Change in Perspectives To the everyday adult, college students are easy to come off as lazy, self-indulgent, disrespectful- what anyone would say of a young adult who lives for the party and gives less than their best efforts in school. On the contrary, to the everyday college student, this narrow-minded adult would be very wrong. It is not until Rebecca Nathans works in her book My Freshman Year that we have the adult challenging the prejudiced views non-students have on these young adults.…

    The classroom setting is for, four-year-old preschool aged children. The idea behind the preschool comes from Piaget’s theory that children learn by a process of adaptation, assimilation, and then accommodation. During the first step, they interpret new stimulation in ways that fit with what they already know. As the new information assimilates, the existing knowledge modifies and creates a better match. Lastly, the child’s understanding gradually changes from the interaction with the environment.…

    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.…

    A stereotype is a generalized statement or belief applied to everyone in a group, as though the entire group is the same. Any belief or characteristic, applied to an entire group, immediately makes it invalid because no characteristics are held by everyone in the group. Stereotypical beliefs sometimes come from some degree of truth, however. There is probably someone in the group who fits the stereotype. The challenge is to acknowledge people as individuals without generalizing individual behaviors or characteristics.…

    The evaluator writes up a report following each of these informal observation.” This is destructive and disturbing. Students, especially, in elementary school, tend to lose focus and control of themselves when they are not aware of change, since their brain are not yet capable of coping with all in the sudden change. They are many reasons why, this is not a good strategy for principals or other evaluators to use on teachers. First, while completing my classroom observation, the majority of the students in the classroom lost attention to the lesson the teacher was trying to teach, and were focusing on me.…

    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…

    I already know to build relationships with students who have diverse needs and I must have some understanding what they are going through. From my experience, I know students with disabilities who may be required to be in the least restrictive environment (general education setting) who I must teach. I think the socio-emotional approach promotes strong and positive student and teacher relationships, as well as empathic understanding which is good for both ELL and Special Education students in order to understand how they feel and the things in life they want to accomplish. Some of these students may go through depression or anxiety and it is important to give them positive feedback and help them through their struggles. Another thing it establishes…

    Chela's Ideal Classroom

    Laila’s ideal setting for learning would be in a classroom that has a structured environment that allows for the use of technology, and social interaction. Laila learns best in small groups with lots of interaction using games, flash cards, and counting manipulatives. Based on discussions with Laila’s Pre-K teacher, and other observations, we’ve noticed that she responds well to instruction that includes songs, music, and role play; and Laila thrives on positive reinforcement. The type of teacher that Laila would best learn from would be able to teach to interactive learners that have strong haptic and visual learning traits as…

    I think the teachers are right at that point because it’s hard to take control of a classroom when almost all the students are just being noisy and getting up of their desk. The teacher should give tell those students they are getting bad grades for being annoying or take them out the class. At this point I don’t see it like the teacher is wrong, the students are. I heard some teachers hit the students or sometimes just because a student its being noisy the whole classroom have to pay for it too and it shouldn’t be like that.…

    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.…
