Virtual Field Experience Summary
Out of all the videos I have seen in Dr. Craig class, I find Mr. Bedley teaching methods to be the most effective for students to learn. I enjoy all three parts of the Lesson Observation of his class. I enjoy his class is because he follow the TEAM Educator Observation Form very well. I believe he met every single requirement on the TEAM Educator Observation Form. I would give him a five in every section because I believe he did an outstanding job in his classroom. There are three reasons to why I chose Tim Bedley to be my favorite. Here are the three reasons I will be presenting in my paper report: what the students did in class, teacher’s guidance and way of teaching, and the atmosphere of the classroom.
When I was watching the videos, I was fascinated by how Mr. Bedley supervise the students in his class. Not only was the students were respectful towards him, Mr. Tim was respectful to them. In my opinion, that is one of the fundamental factors of being a great

I like how the environment was friendly and welcoming. When I was watching the video, I like how Mr. Bedley has a lot of posters in his classroom to make it fun and exciting. If his environment was very boring, but his teaching method and everything else was the same, I feel like the students will not be able to perform well because of the environment. The environment is very important for a classroom to be successful. Personally, if I see teachers put an effort in their classroom, I would feel more motivate to do well than in a classroom that is dull and boring. The reason why I feel like I would do better is because if the atmosphere is alive and active, I would feel more excited and wanting to do better. A bright classroom brings the best out of the students.
In conclusion, having the right motivation for students, teacher’s guidance, and the right atmosphere, everyone could be a great teacher for their future

Mrs. Gaither also did great job in teaching with all the different learning styles so that she could reach each student’s preference. After each assignment, Mrs. Gaither went around to each individual student and went over their answers with the student. Based on what answers they got wrong is where she would focus more attention. I found this style of teacher very helpful to each student because it wasn’t just as a whole.…

    I really enjoyed watching the video. The purpose of John Sinnett 's was that he wanted his students to see that he was engaged just as the students were. From the video, we can see that John is very passionate about his kindergarten students. During his lesson, he gets down on the carpet on the same level as his student to make them feel engaged. This is something that is very important because students are so to teachers telling what to do.…

    Background Summary of Field Experience For my Summative Project, I completed my observation hours at Heritage High School in freshmen English classes.

    The ten given tips mentioned in the video all seemed to be very effective ones to implement in the classroom if done correctly. Classroom management is crucial, and can definitely make a difference in-between a well ran room and a chaotic classroom. The first tip mentioned was beginning the year tough. I definitely believe teachers have to set the stage of what is expected and stand their ground to instill the procedures and expectations into the students, but this should also not be taken to extreme measures where students are uncomfortable or scared to be in the class. Also, it’s easier for the teacher to set certain procedures such as bathroom signals, attention grabbers, or classroom rules at the beginning of the year so the students know…
