In thinking about the students who typically take this course, what challenges may they face which you did not face? How will you help them overcome these challenges? Seeing students both in tutoring through the LASSO Center and tutoring through the group of students set up by Dr. French I have found that many students aren’t as driven to learn the material in the course because they could not engage with the material in an interesting way. The material presented in lecture format was not connecting with them in a way that motivated them to learn.…
In the lecture section of this course most of the topics are not presented in a fashion that is normally seen in other courses. Most of the courses would normally state the topics and what it means in a simple bullet…

Thus far, this class has not been at all what I anticipated when I signed up for it. It has been extremely eye opening. Prior to this class I knew there were injustices that women faced, but I was not aware of how extensive they were. Week after week, I am astonished to learn the various issues that women all around the world live with every day.…
Jane loved to learn, but had difficulty understanding when instructions were given only in an auditory manner. She believes, however, that since instructions are most often given this way in her classroom, that this is the way she should learn. Jane often feels inadequate in class because she falls short of the expectations she sets for herself, certain that if she concentrates hard enough, she will remember all of the instructions that are given. The stress of failing courses because she is unable to remember all of the instructions are becoming perilously burdensome for her and, even as an adult, she feels like collapsing under the weight. She considers giving up and quitting some of her courses.…

General Observation: This week marked my third week in Mrs. C’s 4th grade classroom at St. Rose. During their scheduled reading time, I taught my first observed lesson of three required for my second field placement. This was not my first time teaching a lesson in Mrs. C’s class, as I have been afforded the opportunity each time I am in the classroom to lead a lesson in some way. Sequencing of events was the target skill I pulled from the story, The Right Dog for the Job. The students were familiar with the story.…

Over the course of this term, I have learned several helpful techniques to incorporate into tutoring sessions. I’ve also learned about problems that can arise when tutoring and how to avoid making poor decisions. One of the best practices that I have learned is how to systematically address different problems a student is having with homework, by breaking assignments down into a more accessible format. When a student comes into a tutoring session and is overwhelmed with a homework assignment, helping them formulate an outline of what to complete with their assignment, helps set them up for success and lets them realize that they are capable of working through difficult problems. For instance, if a student brings in a poem and says that they have to write an essay on the poem, but they haven’t read it yet; sit with them and analyze the poem, help them come up with a general idea of what they think the poem is about, then help them start drafting out ideas for a paper.…
Student Success in the Classroom Community colleges have organized themselves around the theme of ease in entrance, exit, and reentry. Having made a considerable effort to recruit students and offer them valuable learning experiences, most community college stakeholders also want to keep students enrolled, at least until degree or program objectives have been fulfilled. It is a challenge for an institution built on the theme of easy access to limit easy exit (Cohen, Chapter 7 - Student Services, 2014). Retention Focus in the Classroom Nowhere is student success more apparent or more crucial than in the classroom. This is where special efforts should be made to ensure that students succeed.…

By conducting Check for understandings throughout each lesson I was able to guide discussions around homeostasis based on what my students were interested in learning more about. Exit tickets were used each day in order to assess whether or not my students accessed the information I had planned for that activity. Then I would rephrase the question and ask it the next lesson as a Do Now. The end of unit assessment students are expected to do the test corrections because Biology builds on prior concepts and if they are not understanding the information from the previous unit it will set them up for failure in the next unit. I have found that implementing test correction has greatly reduced the confusion moving into future units.…
