In elementary school, students are typically in the same classroom for the entire day, with the same students, meaning there is no change of pace. Within these classrooms, it is virtually guarenteed that there will be students who have learning disabilities, are english language learners, or have some form of Attenion Deficit Disorder. This compounds the already exisitng liklihood that some students will grow bored and begin to become a disruption to the classroom setting. These disruptions come in the form of tapping, singing, fidgeting, and in some cases, temper tantrums, fits, and even…

Child-initiated activity hands practitioners a very powerful opportunity for learning. To make the most of this, as a practitioner you must: * maintain children's focus - actively using a range of strategies to keep the children engaged and extend their learning - introducing new words, thinking out loud, introducing more complex speech, bringing in new problems, encouraging conflict negotiation, demonstrating or explaining new ways of working towards a solution * offer assistance and support, when needed, so children are successful in following their ideas, even something simple like holding an object while a child works * ensure the learning environment offers a wide range of stimulating open-ended materials, both outdoors and indoors, for…

Pop quizzes have always been a dreaded possibility for students. Recently, in writing class, a pop quiz was handed out and many students failed. The point now in question is whether the grade should be put into the gradebook to be held against the class. Through the evidence provided here, it will be undeniable that the grade should not be put in the gradebook. Due to the fact that students were not given time to look over the material on their own, and even the most hard-working students’ grades will be skewed from a quiz in which very few students were able to get a C, is evidence to show the grade should not be counted against the class.…

Brain breaks are an effective way of changing the physical or mental focus of an individual student (Christian & Weslake, 2015). All students should have kinaesthetic breaks from time to time, but some individual students need it more often than others, especially my target student. The efficiency of learning increases when breaks are instilled into an individual’s daily routine. There are a lot of different ways to incorporate mental and physical breaks into my student’s daily routine. It is important to explain the purpose of the breaks and set behavior expectations and guidelines for his breaks beforehand.…
In addition to being a passionate teacher, a key to an overall successful classroom is to build trusting relationships between the teacher and student which relates to the environment that has been established at Heir Force Community School. In the book, Classroom Management for Academic Success, the author Lee Canter describes several strategies that build trust with students to provide a successful learning environment. For instance, Canter believes that a teacher needs to get to know their students in order for them to trust the teacher. In every classroom there are, on average, about 25-30 students each with different backgrounds. For a teacher it is beneficial to have a full understanding of a student’s like and dislikes and any issues…

Students express their ideas and thoughts on how the classroom should be ran and what is expected from them and me as a teacher.…

Communication skills Throughout my time at the school I improved on my communication skills by using different techniques for the children.…
