Describe your situation, the grade level, school (elementary, high, special, magnet, intermediate) the type of classroom, self-contained, inclusion, general education.
For my observation, I went to Augusta Evan. I was placed in a math class for grade 9-12. Augusta Evans is a special education. In the classroom I was in I had students of all different levels.
Describe the classroom atmosphere.
The first day I was at Augusta Evan, we were in the computer lab the whole time. The students were very quiet and respectful. Each student would play math games until I could call them over to the computer to be test for math or literacy. On the second day, I was in the actual classroom. The students were again very calm and respectful. The classroom was bright and welcoming. The students desks were facing each other, which I thought was a wonderful idea. Ms. O’D had different types of activities for the students based on which way he/she learned best.
Describe the classroom management, how did transition times go, was there an evident behavior management plan in place? …show more content…
Each student understood the behavior that was expected. I was very surprised that my presence did not disturb the students. On the second day we did have a behavior problem with one student named Terry. He is a “runner” which means if he does not get his way he will run out of the room. Terry did not get his way and ran out of the room; I had to run after him and calm him down. While I was running down the hall to get Terry, Ms. O’D called “Code Green” over the loud speaker and each teacher came out of their room to see if I needed help. On a lighter note, if a student would act out they would get points marked off their economy card or they would be asked to sit by the PP, Ms.
