Pinecreek Elementary School Observation

Improved Essays
For my second observation, I observed behavior at Pinecreek Elementary School in the Brookville School District which contains grades one through two. I observed in the speech therapy room which is a separate room where kids get pulled out of class to receive therapy. I watched two sets of students, one was an individual therapy session and the other was a group of two students. Since the school is so small it is only necessary for there to be one speech pathologist, Mrs. Martz. As I watched the session with the two girls I noticed one little girl frequently getting out of her seat. I decided that getting out of her seat consisted of any time that her bottom was not flat on the seat of the chair. I picked this behavior because I had noticed

    Whilst observing at Agnew Middle School, I noticed some ways that Mrs.Lane motivated her students. It was almost guaranteed that there would be a test every week, and if not a test there would be an assignment added on Think Through Math. She would assign work on Think Through Math weekly, because if a student failed the Math STAAR (a Texas state standardized test required by the Texas public schools) in seventh grade and did work on Think Through Math weekly leading up to the eighth grade STAAR a higher percentage passed. Neighboring on the tests and homework assigned, Mrs.Lane also motivated her students by giving them opportunities to do test corrections and putting the limit of wrong answers on Think Through Math to seven. She made the…

    Case One provides the situation of a ten-year old boy exhibiting inattentive behavior within the classroom and receiving low grades. It is unknown if this behavior is shown only within the classroom or within other environments as well. The parents of the boy stress his intelligence, and that there is no history of head trauma or severe mental disorders present within their son. To gain background knowledge on the child’s daily life and environment, I would have a consultation with the parents, child, and teacher. I would use this time to learn about the child’s diet, sleep schedule, amount of exercise, culture, peers, and home life.…

    A variety of factors and influences can affect a child’s interactions in a group setting. Often, accommodations made within the classroom setting can help to support a child who is struggling with maintaining acceptable behavior. Other times, a student may require a more structured behavior intervention plan to provide a unified approach to support the student in the classroom setting. Some of the elements that could impact a child’s ability to interact appropriately in an educational setting include long-term influences such as a child’s cognitive functioning, and their developmental profile. Other aspects of life that could affect the child’s behavior may be short-term such as moving to a new home, loosing a family pet, and/or a minor illness…
