Individual reflection by Tay Huiwen Emerlyn “A positive classroom culture is characterized by a non-threatening atmosphere where students feel that they are able to speak, offer ideas and take risks without fear of reprisal or mockery” by Caitrin Blake (2015) from Concordia University. This definition of positive classroom culture strikes a chord with me, as I believe that without a positive and healthy environment, where student feel physically and emotionally safe, it is difficult to…

The classroom set up and rules made it easy for Miss Shanelle to be supportive. The kids were allowed to explore and do many different things. They got to experience a lot of autonomy. They were told to use “friendly hands” towards each other and to help each other clean up as well. Isaac never was very aggressive without some motivation. The only time he seemed to have problems with other children was when they were trying share a toy. His favorite toy to play with was a children’s vacuum.…

Inclusive classrooms involve children who are ether typical developing or atypical developing. All types of children are involved in learning to work together and learn through different techniques. When having to make certain adaptations for specific students, some challenges can develop. One of the adaptions Ms. Diaz had to make was to provide a corner…

My second observation was downstairs in a sophomore biology classroom. The students were taking a test so any student that wanted to be read the test had to go into another room. This room was large and barren. Every student had their…

Before the students came to the classroom, I placed their morning cursive worksheets on their desks. Mrs. Jackson gave me a copy of her lesson plans for the week (which she must hand in to the principal every Monday morning by 8:00). Today Mrs. Jackson did not greet the students at the door, but worked in her classroom as the students came in. Mrs. Jackson began the class by introducing the website, www.pearsonsuccessnet.com to the students. This is a website that goes with their reading book,…

would have liked to have seen them integrated once again with the normally developing children and not have them sit at the back. The last room we observed was homeroom. This classrooms’ environment was calm, helpful, and very creatively detailed. There was a total of three teachers and five students. Within this classroom did observe both small and large group instruction. The large group instruction was given…

1. Which actions by the teacher seemed to support student engagement and understanding? When first getting the data table ready for the experiment Dr. Bradbury was asking students probing questions about why the data table had to be set up in a certain manner, this can be seen in minutes 6-8 of the video. Through this portion of the video Dr. Bradbury is making sure students have a full understanding of what a data table does and how the each data table is set up. While setting up the table…

laptops banned in classrooms, Dan Rockmore in his article “The Case for Banning Laptops in the Classroom” speaks about why he agrees with his colleague and his reasoning. I agree with Rockmore’s theory on the disadvantages of having laptops in the classroom because they can be the cause of distraction, disrespect, and non-integration. From personal experience, I agree with Dan Rockmore that laptops in the classroom should be banned because they are distracting. While in the classroom, I have…
