High School Classroom Observation

Improved Essays
Throughout my academic programs at Florida Gulf Coast University I have had multiple observations. These observations range from mere observing students to being a tutor with bilingual students.

Each class would have 15 observation hours to undergo dealing with elementary through high school education giving me an understanding of the needs for level of education whether it be academically or environmentally structured. There’s an academic structural need in the teaching field whether it’s the certified teacher; bilingual teacher; primary, secondary, Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) and higher up educators. We as student educators can becomes those teachers with the property educational training, attitude and motivation.

I first was interested in education during middle school when I started volunteering at my old summer camp. Little did I know that I would be creating my own lesson plans and class activities?

I worked with third through fifth graders. I also volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club .The ages range from kindergarten to High school.

During high school, as a peer educator my interest in mental heal counseling was enforced greatly. We learned to console student who had behavior problems with each other. Counseling took place one-on-one or in a group.

I also had tutored students who were second language learners that struggled with understanding the English concept as a whole. One of my students could not recognize letters sounds, could not read leathers, and, he would literally break down.

In concluding, I have a passion/goal for educating those who are in need of an education, and in helping them to achieve their goals in succeeding to the next level of success. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, and we as achieving educators are to make sure that this does not happen to our children of tomorrow.

We as educators must be diverse in our teaching, accepting and valuing all students from diverse cultures and linguistic backgrounds all with dignity and equitably. It is our responsibility to provide a comprehensible and academically structured learning environment for our students with enriched and planned activities to utilize. My plan is to have a strong foundation in place that utilizes educational materials which are geared to various stages in the child’s

    Students who are English Language Learners (ELL) do not necessarily qualify for assistance under the IDEA laws. However, they are still students who are in need of modifications in the school setting in order to be successful with learning the standards. It is the responsibility of the school and thereby the principal to ensure that students with limited use of English have equal access to the same quality education as that of their English speaking peers. This requires that they have certain accommodations or extra help to progress academically while they are learning English. This happens in regular education classes most often. Students who qualify for ELL services must have a…

    I come into contact with linguistically diverse students on a daily basis and have the responsibility to make sure that students grow academically. It is important that as a teacher I incorporate instructional strategies that will help student build on the skills that have. Bogum Yoom (2007) believes “teachers can act as supports or constraints on ELLs’ active participation, in the mainstream classroom depending on their teaching approaches”. It is my job as an educator to make my ELL students feel confident in their ability to learn. The strategies used will have a direct affect on how welcome my student feel in the learning environment. Teachers who chose topics of interest to ELL students generally receive better results than those who don’t (Yoon, 2007). I play the most important role in providing ELL students with a meaningful…

    Doing clinical observations are very important because it gives a change to see student and teacher interactions first hand and get to see how well a student is responding. During my observations at Biddeford Intermediate School, I got the change to shadow an Ed. Teach in a life skills room. This was a great opportunity for me because it was a chance to see another kind of intervention done in the special education department. I have done many observations with an occupational therapist, and they have always been in lighting and very educational, but to visit a life skills room gave me more perspective on the special education department as a whole.…

    Observation In Classroom

    In the class I observe, the classroom management is nothing like an ordinary classroom you would go into. In a special education class, you will never know what is going to happen next. There are not many rules posted on the walls or written anywhere. When the students misbehave or do not follow the rules, a teacher will verbally tell the student not to repeat that action. The students do not understand right from wrong. There are not many consequences when a child misbeahves in the classroom. If they are acting out the teacher usually tells them to either go in the sensory room to calm down or put their head on their desk. If they are constantly misbehaving and not changing their attitude, the teacher will then warn the student they will not…

    Throughout the course of my five days at the SAHETI primary school, I found myself astonished at various activities that are done throughout the day. Through the course of my practical, I was given a Grade two class to observe and I unquestionably discovered a recently developed love for that age group. I was always adamant from the first time I knew I wanted to become a teacher that I wanted to teach Grade one’s, but my thoughts have definitely evolved. During the course of my observing I was more than willing to help with various activities such as marking, doing spelling tests with the children, as well as helping them with any difficulties they were having with their work. I have gained a lot of experience after helping out with the activities and my knowledge for teaching has grown immensely. I definitely see teachers in a new light and I do believe that a lot of time, effort and love go into helping a child.…

    In my most recent practicum, I was placed in a school that had a comforting atmosphere to have the opportunity to learn. The culture and diversity in the school had made my experience more appreciating. It was situated in an environment where many of its students had come from non-English speaking backgrounds. Students are offered and provided with a wide range of learning opportunities like the operation of Greek, Macedonian and Italian bilingual programs and many other supportive programs. The school believes that “every student can learn” (Lalor North Primary School, 2016, para. 5) and raises expectations that are high for the students to achieve. The purpose of the school is “to empower students…
