Field Observation: Field Placement

Decent Essays
At my field placement I am able to observe many behaviors of my students. There is one child in particular whom I observed last Tuesday. I will keep the students name confidential and referrer to him as L. L often displays disruptive behavior during instruction and transitions. When all of the students are sitting on the rug quietly, he often talked to other students around him. He called out several times and made funny noises.
To manage his behavior my teacher moved him closer to her rocking chair. Now when they are sitting on the rug she can easily keep her eye on him. He is still close to the other students therefor he is not isolated. When he calls out she reminds him to raise his hand in a very clam voice. She praises him for positive

    This shows an exaggeration of how school systems do very little to hold students accountable for their own actions. Instead of sending him to the counselor's office to atleast try to figure out why he/ she is misbehaving the way they are in class to see what can be done to prevent future problems teachers come up with silly disciplines that only makes behaviour worse. Then they come back to school the next day and continue the same behavior they had the previous…

    For my second observation, I observed behavior at Pinecreek Elementary School in the Brookville School District which contains grades one through two. I observed in the speech therapy room which is a separate room where kids get pulled out of class to receive therapy. I watched two sets of students, one was an individual therapy session and the other was a group of two students. Since the school is so small it is only necessary for there to be one speech pathologist, Mrs. Martz.…

    An ELL student is described as a linguistically and culturally diverse student who is learning the English language in addition to his or her native language. In my current fieldwork experience and to the best of my knowledge, there are no ELLs students attending any of the classes that I currently observe. From what I’ve observed, the classes I attend are not highly diversified by ELL’s, those students who are, seem to speak English fluently with no noticeable difficulty. Therefore, I am unable to give any descriptions on learning accommodations as of now on ELL’s. However, there were many lessons that did observe that accommodated different learning styles, that would also help ELL students if they were present in the classroom, such as, visual, auditory and tactile learning accommodations.…

    At the beginning of class, a video was playing, and my student stood up and sat on his desk in order to watch the video. He put his sweatshirt on and pretty much had the same attitude. He talked to his peers, and I also noticed that he had an AB ABC schedule due to the teacher mentioning it. At first, he sat down and was attentive, and after he did this for a little bit, he got up to get supplies for a nametag since an intern was observing the class for four weeks. He asked the teacher if he could use a different version of his name, but the teacher said no to him due to knowing that the student was just trying to be funny.…

    Mrs. Andrea and I teach a male student who is very disruptive and disrespectful. Teachers had several meetings with his mother who expresses her concern, but explained she is at her widths end. The mother mentioned that the child does have ADHD, but is not currently taking medication. The mother stated that her son also sees a counselor, but the sessions are not helpful because the counselor has given up on him. Due to his disruptive behavior, teachers give him recess detention and conduct clips, so the student misses class regularly for in school suspensions, thus causing him to miss important assignments being taught.…

    It seems as though having a proactive classroom support staff member is a positive thing for many of the students in the class. This helped prevent many of the common distractions found in the teacher’s students; which contributed to more time being spent on task. This could lead to an increase in student academics as their understanding of material develops. The main classroom teacher should encourage the other support staff members that work in his room to engage more with the students and put their phones down. It is clear that such steps would have positive results for the students and teacher.…

    I think his behavior is affected by this because he looks disobedient because he keeps distracting other students. This information can be used to develop a better educational plan for this child because we now know he is distractive and by that we can put him by himself for a little bit during the day so he has time to calm down and work by himself. I would also talk to him calmly and tell him he needs to considerate other students and that his behavior can distract…

    When it came to behavioral problems in the classroom, the teachers would very rarely address the inappropriate behavior of a the student, and instead would just give them a time-out type of punishment. Some children would have to move a clip with their name on it from a “paying attention, learning” board, to one reflecting their current attitude, “disruptive, not focused.” However, in this process, the student was never thoroughly spoken to about their actions, although, I must note again, that I was only present for a short period of time and while issues may have been addressed at a later date, they were not when I was…

    The following content of this paper will review connections with past research, along with understanding where these behaviors originate in middle school students. Teachers are constantly faced with an ample amount of behavioral problems in their classroom on a day-to-day basis. In turn, resulting in high levels of emotional exhaustion and stress. Disruptive behaviors not only cause distractions in other students learning, but also can potentially result in a threatening classroom environment.
