Difference Between Student And Student Interaction

Student Interactions
The interaction between student and teacher is what I would hope a student-teacher interaction would be. For the most part, the teachers spoke in a friendly manner. What I mean by this is that the teacher were always kind and they did not dismiss the students opinion. The teachers were not purposely hateful or had a vendetta against any of the students. Even if the student mentioned something that was not on topic the teacher would say ‘Let’s discuss this later/ during recess/after class/ after this lesson and focus on this first’. In addition, if a student finished early then the teacher would ask them about their night or if they did that exciting thing that they were going to do. I believe that the teachers had very

In fact, Mrs. Bicknell had a can of Popsicle sticks with student’s name on them and she would pick on then they would get to answer the question. Other teachers just said if you have not answered a question raise your hand and that is how they got picked. Therefore, there was not a teacher who called on more girls than boy or one race more than the other; teachers tried to make it as fair as possible by calling on everyone. The student’s conversations were not completely academic. One group of girls’ conversations, was about nail and how another girl in the class had fake nails. Other groups talked about what they were doing later. One of the only academic conversations that I heard was during a math game center where the students we talking about what eight time four is and as a table they had to solve it together. I learned that teachers have better behaved students is they are friendly and speak to their students kindly. In addition, I also learned that one should not dismiss a student’s thoughts just because it is not about the current topic. Instead, teacher should have students save that topic for a little bit later. Lastly, I learned that as long as students are working they can socially talk because if they do have an academic question than they will feel more …show more content…

Furthermore, the gender distribution at this school is forty-eight percent female and fifty-two percent male, which is almost equal. Also, at Kings Trail Elementary, there is not any students who are in the gifted program.

To break this down further by race, sevemty-three percent of Asian students have limited English proficiency and forty-nine percent of Hispanic/Latino student have limited English proficiency. Two percent of black student and fifteen percent of white student also have limited English skills. Next, there is about seven percent of students that have learning disabilities. Lastly, the school has twenty-nine full time teachers, which means that the student to teacher ratio is about sixteen to one. The demographics of this school affect it because when one views that testing result. One can see that it is in the bottom twenty percent.

    Wednesday, September 16th, 2015 I did my observation of Paul Dunbar Middle School. Some of the first things I noticed when I entered the school was how enormous the school’s population is and how the school was mostly Hispanic and African American students. I arrived at the front desk and was asked by the assistant principal what was my preference of classroom. She then proceeded to take me the section of the school where the ESE classes are held. ESE stands for exceptional student education classes.…

    There is a stark contrast between the working and middle class schools’ interactions between teachers and students and those of the affluent professional and executive elite schools. At the working class school, many of the decisions the teachers made were made with neither an explanation nor the consultation of the students. Teachers also typically spoke to the students disrespectfully: the investigator seldom heard the teachers give an unsarcastic “please,” “let’s,” or “would you”; rather, they would directly order students to shut up. The students, meanwhile, often struggled to stay quiet and were resistant to the teacher’s orders. In the middle class school, the level of control the teacher has depends on the teacher: some are relaxed, whereas others are stern.…

    Last Spring, I had a student who was in the final semester of his senior year and was oppositional and rude in class. He had come to us because he had failed out of his previous private school and we were his last option. Because he is very intelligent he loved to point out every mistake that I made in class. I would politely accept these corrections, but was annoyed by his negative attitude. When he refused to participated with classmates during an experiment, I asked him to stay after and speak with me.…

    This reflection will be in response to the field experience that was completed on the 12th of November, 2015 by Matthew Daykin. For my High School field experience, I attended Palmetto Ridge High School and observed both Mrs. Zacher’s ninth grade English class and Mrs. Reid’s ninth grade Science and Math classes. Palmetto Ridge High School (A.K.A. “The Ridge”) is a grade 9-12 school located in Naples, Florida. The Ridge has a total of 1,865 students; 46.33% of the students are listed as identifying as White, 7.29% are listed as identifying as Black, 40.8% of the students identify as Hispanic, 1.39% of the students identify as Asian, 2.63% identify as Indian, 1.29% identify as Multi-Racial, while only 0.27% identify as Hawaiian or Pacific Islander (“Palmetto Ridge High (PRH) School”, 2015). I believe my first lesson during this field experience came about a week before I actually completed my field experience at this location.…

    While observing in Beth Johnston’s First Grade classroom at Eugene Field Elementary School, I have noticed some effective and ineffective classroom management practices that she uses while I have been in the classroom. One effective classroom management technique that I have observed is that Mrs. Johnston puts her student’s desks into groups of three or four. This is an effective technique because she puts her strong students with her not as strong students, which can help with the students who might need a little help staying on track with the lesson that they are supposed to get done. Also, Mrs. Johnston has changed the groups a couple of times since I have been observing in the classroom. This I believe is effective because the students…

    Within the class room sitting on bottoms, covering your mouth, posture are all expressions of formal behaviors. Laying down, yelling, running through the classroom are examples of relaxed behaviors. It was noticed that boys were allowed to do more relaxed behaviors. Boys are more likely to demand attention, by calling out answers or talking about irrelevant comments which the teacher responds. Shockingly the girls were held to a more formal standard being reprimanded when they did not abide.…

    The teacher made me introduce myself and told me to sit down. I felt like I was a deer being stared down by a bunch of hungry beasts. The other students already had cliques established, and no one seemed to jump out of the social construct to say hi. The class proceeded as a normal class would, with lecture followed by questions. The bell rang for lunch time, the students ushered out, and into the cafeteria like wild animals.…
