Mr Giddens Observation

Improved Essays
Mrs. Giddens, was the first teacher I observed at Central High School of Clay County. She is a very fair and loyal teacher. She has all the qualities I strive for in my future days as a Family and Consumer Science teacher. I can see the passion and dedication she has for each student in the classroom. She wants them all to excel in their own unique ways.
Before class started, Mrs. Giddens stood in front of everyone and went over previous homework or future work that would be done in the classroom. If a student did not understand, she would explain the work in a better understanding that fits his/her individual needs. After she explained everything, she would have them work on the class work for that day. If a student had a question, they were

Giddens was constantly teaching the students new and interesting information. To keep their attention in focus, she started off with class work then throughout the class she went over the information, and sometimes she added a game or class participation to help wake the children up and let them know career tech is fun.
A career tech lesson plan was not based on just American views. It was done worldly and shown how all types of cultures matter in the career tech world. The classroom was filled with diverse cultures. As a teacher, she encouraged them to speak about their cultural background for cooking and living. She used the different life styles to form a lesson. It helped her learn that to have a successful and happy classroom, you have to take into consideration the culture for each student.
In conclusion, I believe Mrs. Giddens is very professional when it comes to teaching disability children and diverse children. She never lets them feel that they are beneath anyone or anything. She is very helping and understanding when it comes to anything. She has taught me to always listen to the students before making any accusations. She never lets a student leave unhappy, because she wants them to enjoy her class and learn day-to-day life instances. She makes teaching fun, and I am sure everyone enjoys her as a

Henry Adams once said “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” At a mere five-foot four he appeared to be a kid minus the burly lumberjack beard that he possessed. I remember being skeptical at first because I had never had a male teacher before.…

    Before taking this course and being out in the field for 20 hours, special education was not my ideal teaching job. Special education was always intimidating to me because there is so much important information that is needed. IEP’s, parents, and goal setting are just a few to name that intimidated me until now.

From the first day of my observation hours, Mrs. Degroot made me feel completely welcome and comfortable, which made the experience that much better.…
