1. What scaffolds does this teacher use to “Launch” this problem and give her students access to the task? What connections can you make between this clip and the ideas around “Launching Complex Tasks” as described in the Jackson et al article assigned with this IPC. Please cite specific moments from both the clip (using a time stamp) and the article. a. In the first clip the teacher uses everyday experiences to introduce the subject

Compared to this clip, my discussion is need of refocus and reflection. My discussion is teacher lead, with students looking to answer my questions without contributing to the overall discussion. Unlike the clip, students aren’t asking or answering question. Instead, I am the nexus for all information, and student thinking is not even addressed. I also see in the Edthena Clip the teacher allows time to pass to allow students time to think and formulate questions and responses to their peers.
Reflect across all of the videos:
7. What do you notice about how Tanya manages student status in the classroom? Cite moments from the clips.
a. Tanya is fair with all of her students. During the Discussion clip (14:00) a students asks a question that is a part of the second problem of the day. Tanya uses wonderful techniques to redirect the class to help with a new way of explaining the concept. She asks the class how they solved Kevin and Ana problem. This is did not discount the question, but communicated to the class that we have to understand the first question before we move on the second question.

    In the first video, the teacher talks about how it is important it is to start teaching children how to use critical thinking, and how to promote creative thinking and questioning. She uses a box of objects linked to the lesson, and has the students inquire why those particular items are in the box. For the lesson to be effective, the teacher uses content relevant to the children to help them understand the concept of a thing versus an idea. I think one of the most important things she discusses in the video is the idea of cognitive space. Waiting for the students to have an idea or an answer to make sure they understand the lesson.…

    Introduction: Child development involves emotional, physical, sociable, and intellect changes over a period from conception through adolescence. Childhood is a multifaceted process in which many changes occur. To fully understand the changes throughout childhood, one interview and observation was conducted to a toddler perspective, and a second interview and observation was implemented on a school-age child. Vast changes arise from infancy and toddlerhood, jumping to later childhood, and that was deceptive when comparing the outcomes from the two observations. Alex, who is eight years old, was the topic of the school-age child interview and observation.…

    While observing in Beth Johnston’s First Grade classroom at Eugene Field Elementary School, I have noticed some effective and ineffective classroom management practices that she uses while I have been in the classroom. One effective classroom management technique that I have observed is that Mrs. Johnston puts her student’s desks into groups of three or four. This is an effective technique because she puts her strong students with her not as strong students, which can help with the students who might need a little help staying on track with the lesson that they are supposed to get done. Also, Mrs. Johnston has changed the groups a couple of times since I have been observing in the classroom. This I believe is effective because the students…

    One of my most influential moments this semester happened on Matias’s first day here. He was scheduled to do speech with Carter and Mrs. Ciskos, but before the bell rung was already visible distracted. This carried into speech, as he was unable to remain focused and answer Carter’s questions. By the time Jared joined our group Matias was clearly upset, grabbing for his teacher and repeating the same phrase over and over. This in turn effected the rest of the table, with Carter covering his ears and Jared copying Matias.…

    1. Compose a 250-500-word response to Betty that addresses her resistance to having Jake in her class and Jake’s readiness to be in a general education classroom full-time. Betty Armstrong is resistant to having Jake in her class because it will upset the balance and rhythm that has already been established in her classroom.

    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.…

    Anti-Feminist And Change

    The discussion that I led for Challenge and Change on Friday, March 11th was about the anti-feminist movement and how modern feminism is perceived. I honestly believed that it was an excellent discussion and almost everyone was quite vocal about their opinions on both feminism in general and the article we were discussing. One thing I liked was how when I would ask a thought-provoking question to the class, the discussion would either change or go in a direction I didn’t expect at first. I think this is because we have highly intelligent students in the class, who enjoy contributing in discussion settings. For example, when someone brought up the legalisation of rape movement and I decided to ask a question to the class about it, so…

    Teaching controversial issues in the classroom through discussion is the most beneficial method for students to learn about these matters because it teaches them how to be open-minded, think critically about their own beliefs, and forces them to master their public speaking and interpersonal skills. The benefits of using discussions in classrooms to teach contentious topics are endless but the three previously mentioned have proven to be the most valuable by students, teachers, and parents everywhere. Class discussions force students to listen, embrace, and be respectful of opinions and beliefs that are divergent to their own. As mentioned by David Bridges (1979), an author who has formerly analyzed the notion of discussion, the sharing of…

    Students face various social and emotional challenges as they develop and interact with the world around them. Their ability to control their emotions and reactions is dependent on their level of development, surrounding environment, and the skills they have been taught, modeled, and practiced that deal with social and emotional factors (Ed Psych, p 70). During my field experience in my 3rd grade classroom at S.H. Elementary, I have observed Mrs. Branson establish relationships and provide students with the necessary skills needed to develop their emotional competencies. Mrs. Branson teaches 3rd grade in a charter school located in the south suburbs of Minneapolis. Her class consist of 23 diverse student learners from various racial, ethical,…

    I really enjoyed the time I spent in Mrs. Flinn’s fourth grade classroom over Spring Break. I was able to observe for a total of four hours between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. During my time with the fourth graders, I took a closer look at the solid behavior classroom supports being used. Along with these supports, I was extremely impressed by the way Mrs. Flinn handled classroom management. Even though I observed during a very exciting week, she had great control over her students.…
