My Classroom Arrangement In A Practicum School

Assessment So, the last couple of weeks have been eye opening. Being in a classroom has allowed me fully understand what teaching is going to be like. This last week the students took a district test, this test was created by teachers throughout Albany County. My practicum teacher was not involved in making this quarters test, she was responsible for quarter twos test. During one of the math sections the class as a whole went through the test that they took. My practicum teacher stated she does not believe in giving a test without going over the results with the students. As a class we went over the test and it was obvious that my teacher was frustrated with the test. There were poorly written questions, that her students struggled with. …show more content…
Personally, I have never liked these types of classrooms. As I observe the classroom I realized this type of classroom doesn’t allow the teacher to walk around as freely to the students. I have read many books on how setting arrangement affects the classroom, but I have never realized how important the sitting arrangement it until I witnessed the results of a different sitting chart.

This week one of the students was very rude to the teacher. He ruled his eyes at the teacher and throughout the day he got clipped down in his behavior. My practicum teacher took away one of YELLOWSTONE letters, and he lost recess. During recess my practicum teacher pulled him aside and asked him what he did wrong, and what she should put in the email to his parents. The child struggled with telling the truth of what really happened, but eventually he said what he did wrong in his behavior. My practicum teacher said she doesn’t email parents unless they have been very rude, and today the student had crossed the line. Afterwards, my teacher said it was surprising because she emailed both parents and both of the parents responded to how sorry they were and they would talk to the child. This shocked my teacher because she said she rarely gets replies, after talking to my teacher it caused me to think about a lot of different things. My practicum teacher wasn’t happy to send the email, but she was so happy that the parents were there for their son and would talk to them. My practicum teacher said she gets ignored a lot, so she is used to sending and calling parents and being

    Roman Resshetov Case Analysis

    We, the students of Mr. Roman Reshetov, would like to issue a formal complaint, as his teaching skills are inadequate to teach an Honors Chemistry class. To begin with, Mr. Reshetov’s time management is lacking. Extended periods of time are being spent teaching small portions of the curriculum while other portions are not even mentioned. Students are forced to teach themselves vast amounts of material that sometimes have not ever been mentioned in class. Also, in many cases, students are studying the wrong things because Mr. Reshetov does not provide adequate information as to what is expected to be known.…

    Creating A Literacy Environment Analysis

    Creating a Literacy Environment Each classroom has a different seating and classroom arrangement decided upon by the classroom teacher that assists in developing the students in all areas of development. Classroom arrangement plays a key role in learning within the classroom because it can affect behavior as well as other actions within the classroom (Stronge, Tucker, Hindman, 2004). The arrangement of the classroom as well as the different strategies used by the teachers assist in creating a literacy rich environment that promotes better literacy development. Each grade has different needs in the classroom and so each classroom has different supplies and organizational factors. Pre-kindergarten classrooms as well as second grade classrooms…

    APS 8: The Classroom Environment

    The main focus of APS 8 is to create and maintain an environment in which the students feel safe and are encouraged and supported to learn. The classroom environment should demonstrate this atmosphere both physically and affectively. The classroom diagram used as the artifact directly relates to APS 8 by supporting cooperative learning, exemplifying a safe and well managed physical environment, and displaying an environment that makes every student feel important. First, the diagram demonstrates that the classroom is student-centered since the desks are arranged in groups of four students as opposed to straight rows.…

    Case Study Racism In The Classroom

    This classroom contains no lessons that are taught to the class as a whole, no standardized test that the students have to take, and the classroom has no detailed curriculum. The students are free to move around the room as they please and work wherever makes them feel the most comfortable. Other teachers believed that this wasn’t a good way to teach the students because it lacked the structure that most of the other classrooms provided to the…

    Teachers all around the world dream of the chance to design their own classroom. While for many of us it is only dreaming because we are forced to move classroom to classroom or we are placed in a classroom that was once a staff lounge.

    Child Classroom Observation

    My child observation and classroom observation took place at the Mt. San Jacinto Child Development and Education center in the preschool/pre-k (ages 36 months to 54 months) program room. This classroom has 2 teachers and 15 children in attendance during my observation. My study child is a male student age 4 who for this assignment I will refer to as C. The classroom environment as a whole can handle the children within the program, however I will provide a better picture of the entire room to have a clear picture for reflection. As a child walking into this classroom you feel a sense of warmth of both the environment and also from the teacher as she greats all her children individually.…

    Asian American Stereotypes

    ASIAN AMERICANS Cultural and ethnic identity of Asian students may clash with the American school system due to their beliefs that it is important to work together as a group and maintain an allegiance to their family. The American school system tends to give emphasis to individualism and a healthy competition between students. An Asian student will no doubt see that their ability to do well in school as a duty that they have to help maintain the family structure and failure to do well in school can result in stricter parenting styles at home. Asian children are taught from a very early age to respect those in authority, have a sense of responsibility toward their family members, and to maintain self-control.…

The class is comprised of 21 students who are spread out between six tables, with three to four students per table. When you first walk into the classroom you are greeted by a wall of self-portraits of the students. One wall is dedicated to math. Posters about math rules and concepts along with student created math concept posters align the wall.…

    High School Music Program Research Paper

    A lot of things can contribute to a successful music program, but one of the central points of success comes from support from a school system’s administration. This success doesn't come from the monetary support but rather, patience to allow the band director to work. When band directors are rushed to achieve certain goals, they tend to cut corners and not build proper fundamentals. In an extended time period, this could ruin a band program and cause numbers, quality of players, and parental support to lower throughout the years. An administration should thoroughly be involved with a director’s program, but an ideal situation would allow the director to take the time to mold the students into the type of people and musicians that can be successful…

    Best Practice List

    The purpose of the Best Practice lists are to provide students with a classroom environment that will produce the maximum learning potential. Even though this list was updated in 2012, there is most likely no classrooms that follow the list perfectly, but some classrooms operate under most of the points on the list. Ms. DiMaria, at the Lebanon High School, provides and creates an atmosphere in the classroom that follows the Best Practice’s list to the best of the districts abilities. A constant theme throughout the points on the list is the increase of student interaction in the classroom. The reduction of standard lectures and the increase of student-student interaction are a couple points on the topic, and Ms. DiMaria does her best…

    Reflective Essay On Education And Remediation Paradigm

    There are three paradigms for how teachers should interact with students and their families. The first one is the separation paradigm which means that the parents give the responsibility of their child 's education to the school and makes the school responsible for their children’s results. I experienced this in my high school child development class with the preschool. There was a student who would act out in class and would never do his work so my teacher got in contact with his parents about this and blamed in on the schools program and my teacher. I do not agree with this one for the reason that it puts all the blame on the teacher and gives no responsibility to the parents.…
