Ktea 2 Observation

The teachers both explained that since third grade she has not yet passed the milestone testing. During small group instruction there are days where she will try to do the work and other days she will look off into space and not want to do anything. I often have to encourage her to stay on task with anything she does whether it’s individual or in small group instruction. After administering the KTEA-II her results showed that she falls in the below average range of the bell curve. After receiving the results for the reading subtest I am able to understand why she has

    These students have enough negativity; without adding more stress to an already stressful situation. I believe that the teacher sets the tone for the classroom atmosphere; fostering an atmosphere that embodies: motivation, compassion, and making mistakes as a method of learning. I also believe that the teacher can help these students view their failures in a new manner. Instead of dwelling on what the student struggles with, dwell on the strengths of the student. Reward small gains, for these small steps will have the student traveling down the right path…
