Most people think of business’s and corporations when they think of management, but many forget that those guiding our youth everyday are just as engaged in leadership than any corporate executive. I’ve been able to view Mr. Koterba’s leadership from many different perspectives in my last 8 years of life, from a student in his classroom, to a runner in his running club and eventually cross country team, and even as a friend. The first think one…
Embedded Intervention: Classroom Observation I am in a Kindergarten classroom at University Meadows Elementary School. I am observing in Ms. Collman’s classroom. It is a smaller classroom consisting of only 17 children. Ms. Collman is the only teacher for her classroom. Angelina, the only child with a disability, has a one-on-one nurse who helps Ms. Collman with tasks such as keeping children on task, in line, behavior management, and an extra set of eyes during recess. Ms. Collman is great…
Electronics have become a huge aid in helping people connect with others with only a few clicks. Technological advances have been made to improve communication and access to knowledge. Schools have been implementing technology into the classroom since it contains a vast amount of information all in one spot. Having easy access to knowledge was ultimately supposed to help pupils learn quicker than before. College students are taking advantage of their access to technology in order to cheat in…
alphabet, and proper classroom etiquette. I was quickly proven wrong and my expectations were blown. This first grade class was reading, spelling, solving math problems from memory, writing paragraphs, and for the most part was really well behaved. I was so captivated and amazed at the fact that these five – six year olds could write paragraphs. Not only could they write paragraphs but they actually understand the structure of them. I sat there…
Task 2 Elementary Scenario Part A A1. Disruption in the classroom environment Sarah will not remain in her seat and she frequently wanders around the classroom. Her behavior is disruptive in a third grade classroom because it takes instruction time away from the other students.

Sarah’s conduct can also become a power struggle if the teacher allows her behavior to escalate. The…
handle diversity in the classroom and allowed me to have experience with dealing with some of the issues that arose. It was my first experience in the school system and shaped my desire to become an elementary teacher. I knew that I wanted to make a difference in a life and believed that after seeing my teacher interact with her students, the best way was to start when they…
One of the classrooms that I observed was a fifth grade class at Mt. Hall Elementary school. The class is comprised of 21 students who are spread out between six tables, with three to four students per table. When you first walk into the classroom you are greeted by a wall of self-portraits of the students. One wall is dedicated to math. Posters about math rules and concepts along with student created math concept posters align the wall. Another wall is dedicated to language arts. Grammar and…

Nowadays, teachers utilized the use of technology to enhance students’ learning in class. Books, hand-outs, notes and discussion are examples of learning aids in class instead of teachers’ lectures.

The class began with Professor Green standing quietly at her podium eagerly focusing in on us. As everyone noticed, slowly the classroom became quiet. All attention was directed to Professor Green and all her attention was directed back to us. In silence, facial expressions and body language are the methods of communication. This was the first activity in which we became tuned in and focused on the tone and expression of the room. We joined together in an exercise in which everyone walked…
I would respond to a child who constantly misbehaved in my classroom by using classroom management skills along with teaching behaviors that were appropriate with the problem that I was faced with. I would communicate with the child to see why they were behaving that way and see if there was anything I could do to calm down the child. I would enforce class rules and create a personal behavior plan for that student to follow. When a professor knows my name it makes me feel like the teacher…
