It is first day fall and English class is about to begin. Like always, I am the last person to stroll in and I sit in my usual seat, the chair neighboring the door. The teacher welcomes me with his normal, accented hello as I sit down and he starts discussing about correct MLA format. My mind begins to get distracted and my thoughts take over, causing me to dose off. I start to gaze at the other students in my class and I realize it is strange to think I spend every Monday and Wednesday with…

The essential premise of Wong’s model is that there should be a greater emphasis on teaching students responsibilities, roles, and procedures, rather than disciplining them. Wong provides strategies to structure the classroom environment to minimize misbehavior. For instance, Wong suggests spending the first two weeks of class teaching rules and procedures that will become routine later. In order to establish good procedures, Wong suggests deciding which routines are necessary, listing the steps…

Having smooth transitions are crucial to an elementary school classroom. When a class follows simple procedures like being quiet when going to carpet, or standing a certain way when lining up, can really make a tremendous impact on learning.

According to “Choreograph Your Classroom,” classroom management must be talked about with the children. They must know the expectations…

Students are required to read a book of their choosing, and then…

Four Classes in Four Years Throughout high school, I was “stuck”, per se, in four classes that would change the way I looked at everything around me. Yes, it might sound corny, but eight tables later, twenty four chairs later, and a certificate at the end of my senior year, I finally understood why there classes were so important to me, and in the end, some of the material that I learned in the classes was beneficial and I will continue to use it throughout the rest of my life. There I was, a…

day with my LP and the majority of the time spent together was in the classroom setting. The six things I observed about my LP include her physical presence, relationships with others, activities and interests, modes of thinking and learning, strengths and assets, and vulnerabilities. To begin, I observed my LP’s physical presence. I noticed that she is very much an extrovert and loves attention.

Two of the kids that I tutor in math have a flipped classroom. I have watched the online videos with them…

Not only is there a difference among students so that one approach works for this student and that same approach may not work for another student, but that difference is also seen in classrooms. I saw the teacher use the same approach to get a class discussion started in two classes. The first class responded to the…
