Essay On My Flipped Math Classroom

Superior Essays
About the classroom: Ms. Yoder and I have a classroom of 21 eighth grade students taking Pre-Algebra. One student in the classroom is on an IEP with multiple academic goals and a behavior goal. He is a level 3 student. This is Ms. Yoder’s first year in the district, therefore it is our first year working together. We are not co-teaching to the level we ultimately want to be, but we feel we are heading in the right direction. We are definitely get more comfortable with each other as our relationship has grown from the beginning of the year.

Descriptions:
2/15(Lead and Support): Ms. Yoder started the year with a flipped math classroom, but we recently decided to go back to the more “traditional” method to see how or if student learning was impacted. Today, Ms. Yoder stood at the front of the room and lead the students through a lecture on how to compare the slopes of functions. We provide note guides to students who benefit from the accommodation, like IEP student M. I kept

Students then took a lesson quiz over the learning goal, and they received immediate feedback on their email. Those students who received feedback indicating they were non proficient on the learning goal were directed to the back table for reteaching. Since Ms. Yoder was absent, we planned for me to provide reteaching to the students, and the substitute to keep a close eye on the students who were working independently at their desks. During the reteaching, I followed a direct lesson framework with the “I Do, We Do, You Do” process, so students were clearly shown how to complete the problems correctly before completing more problems with guided practice and independence. Student M was part of my group, and he benefited from this extra instruction and practice, as did other students. Some students required less practice than others to demonstrate their

    Student A from the morning class has a learning disability that prevents him from focusing and becomes easily frustrated. During one on one instruction, I would repeat the directions and sometimes the child will have moments, For example, there was an ant on his backpack, and he began to scream and run while most students will stomp on the bug. Student A made progress but will benefit from special education because the student will receive more attention compared to a regular classroom. Regular classes are unable to provide that one on one instruction and teachers may not be adequately trained to teach children with a learning disability. (Spring, 2014, pg. 126)…

    1. Mrs. Carroll decided that day to begin ISTEP preparation with the students, using an audio book on the computer and a booklet for the students to study. The text that all the students listened to was Rikki Tikki Tavi by Rudyard Kipling, a short classic story that I thought was excellent for seventh graders to easily follow along and prepare them for ISTEP. I was sitting next to another student who has an IEP…

    I have witnessed two parents’ interactions with special education educators during my fieldwork experience. Both of these experiences could have been approached better using cultural reciprocity to ensure that the teachers understand the parents’ point of view and to take it into consideration. The observations were conducted in an Integrated Co-teaching (ICT) classroom in the second grade. I have witnessed an interaction between a parent and the special education teacher.…

    SPED 5365 Instructional Processes with Exceptional Children (Fall 2014) SPED 5365 Instructional Processes with Exceptional Children equips students with a “competency in developing educational strategies for the remediation, amelioration, or compensation of exceptionality as it interferes with achievement or adjustment in school” (Lamar University, 2014, p. 1). I learned many practical strategies for teaching special education students from reading our assigned text, Strategies for Teaching Learners with Special Needs by Polloway, Patton, Serna, and Bailey (2013).

    When observing a special education classroom I am not only observing the class, but I am observing a glimpse into my future as a teacher. I was privileged enough to observe a multi-needs intermediate classroom with students who range from eight to ten year olds at Hope D. Wall School who have moderate to server learning disorders and physical handicaps. The purpose of the multi-need classroom is for the teacher to assess which path the student will take after the year is over. For an example some students might need more intensive guidance during their education, while other students attend life skills classes in order to prepare for life outside of school. While I was observing the class, I was fortunate enough to witness the students participate…

    On November 28, 2017, I spent my fourth day with class 3-213 at P.S. 45. During this time, I felt I was able to confidently encounter, converse, and assist the children with varying subject matters. At this point, the children even felt comfortable enough to ask me for help. Additionally, my cooperating teacher, Mrs. Jessica Diaz, is still extremely helpful and even allows me to teach the students in small-groups. By working in small-groups, I have been able to facilitate learning on an individualized level.…

    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.…
