Observation In Classroom

In the class I observe, the classroom management is nothing like an ordinary classroom you would go into. In a special education class, you will never know what is going to happen next. There are not many rules posted on the walls or written anywhere. When the students misbehave or do not follow the rules, a teacher will verbally tell the student not to repeat that action. The students do not understand right from wrong. There are not many consequences when a child misbeahves in the classroom. If they are acting out the teacher usually tells them to either go in the sensory room to calm down or put their head on their desk.

This action can be either overly excited or angry. The teachers never take it personaly because the students cannot help it sometimes. These actions can lead to an ineffective learning environment because it takes time away from schoolwork. In the classroom, the students tend to not interact as much as a normal classroom setting would. Many of the students do not get along with each other. The only two students that interact with each other are the twin girls. The teachers try to keep the students separted because they usually end up physically hurting one another. In my opinion, the students do not have enough social interaction and the students do not
