Prek Observation

Improved Essays
For the observation of this analysis, I decided to go to the same school that I had previously gone to for my field observations from a previous class. As soon as I enter Advent Lutheran School, I always feel welcome and comfortable around the female-only teachers and administrators. I have never seen a class in the school with more than ten kids in it and I think this is due to the fact that it is a small private school. Since I want to teach younger kids, I decided to observe a pre-k class. In these kind of class, parents don’t have to bring their kids to school every day. The day I went to do my observations, there were only seven kids in the classroom. The teacher, Mrs. Bosard*, told me that some days it is a full class and other

    In addition, shy female students who were treated rudely by boys in the class felt marginalized and frustrated. This experience has taught me the importance of dealing with conflict immediately. When conflict with a student is ignored it does not go away.

    After discussion and defining of various gender-related concepts, teachers are asked to observe, "how gender is enacted in the classroom" (Rands, 2009, p. 428). However, it is additionally important for the teacher to consider on what grounds to they identify something as expressing gender. Rands suggests that a concept to start with on adding complexity to the concept of gender is considering the role of privilege (Rands, 2009).

Teachers are encouraged to additionally use imaginative scenarios of alternate gender systems to expand their thinking on these different aspects of privilege, as well as…

    From the age of two, children are put into the school system, where they will remain for a quarter of their lives. Schools become a safe place for students where no matter what is going on at home or in their community, they know that when they go to school they are safe. The idea that teachers provide a positive, safe environment for children despite what is going on at home is prevalent in Lynda Barry’s, “The Sanctuary of School.” She mentions the positive effects on students, as their teacher’s involvement is important to ensuring their learning process runs smoothly in the classroom, despite what is happening outside of it. I agree with Lynda Barry’s stance stating teachers become a mentor for students, but I believe she overlooks the negatives…

    For this field expert interview, I interviewed one of the first grade teachers, Mrs. Heckman, at the school where I work. I decided to conduct my interview on Mrs. Heckman for this particular assignment because last year I worked in her classroom during an undergrad course and I really liked her classroom management style. I believe that she is fulfills the expert aspect for this paper because like with most classes, she has a very diverse classroom when it comes to behaviors, yet it is clearly apparent that her class is more managed when comparing other classrooms. Mrs. Heckman has 38 years of teaching experience where she has taught third grade for eight years; kindergarten for ten years; and first grade for twenty years. The following…
