Effective Classroom Management

was a very warm feel to the building. The first classroom I was in grew almost unbearably warm, there was still a chalkboard in the room, and the room itself felt crowded. The feeling of being crowed carried through the building, especially the hallways during class changes and during these changes there was a sense of urgency to get to class. I don’t think I saw more than one or two students stop at their lockers between classes. In the next classroom, I was in,…

Creating an art lesson is also very different. This is because I had to look up art standards and each lesson had more steps and materials. When creating art lessons you had to come up with creativity ideas to get the supplies that you needed in the classroom. At first when I was writing my first lesson I was stressed because I have never done one, but as I started and went through it, it was actually fairly easy and just like other lessons, just more detail and standards. I feel that teaching…

In doing my observation for this classroom analysis paper, I decided to observe a Special Education Day Class (SDC) at Cordova High School in Rancho Cordova. The instructor is Mrs. Melody Smith-Williams, a 10th - 11th grade Special Education English teacher. The observation took place on Friday, May 13, 2016 from 9:00am -12:00pm. On the day of my observation there were 27 students (8 English learners, 6 African- Americans, and 13 white). There were also 2 Para-educator, besides Mrs.…

size doesn’t affect a student’s learning. In Buford’s views, “If professional practice is poor, the number of students in a classroom may not matter too much (Buford)”. In other words, Buford believes that the number of students in a classroom does not make a difference. The number of students in a classroom affects learning significantly. So much can go wrong in a classroom that crams in 25 students. It goes well beyond safety, but most importantly the learning and intake of new information.…

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…

For children who do not have a disability, school systems favor the nurture side. Children who are in general education classrooms, are given the freedom and flexibility to learn at their own pace. They may learn similar, or very different than the rest of their class. Some students may even need much more support than others (Marks, S. U. (2009)). . With this all being said…

personal, including myself. I think that’s really when the class as a whole starting becoming a family of some sort. We respected each other and the things we’ve been through or are stilling going through. What was said that day in the classroom, stayed in the classroom. That’s the day I learned that…

p.m. The activities I will plan will be puzzles, drawings, paintings, making bubbles and an activity about learning about different parts of the physical structure. When the children enter the classroom for the first time, I will help ease the children’s fear and help the children adjust in a new classroom environment by standing by the door and saying hello! My name is Ms. Sophia, and I will be your pre-k teacher this year I am so excited that you will be in my class this year, we will have…

student, many people think all English teachers are the same or maybe even use the same methods. But while interviewing Mrs. Taylor, one of my English teachers from High School, I was intrigued by the different methods, activities, and even the classroom environment. During this day I took the time to spend a day on the teacher’s side of the desk and see what I can learn from someone in the profession, and might I say I was exceptionally impressed. To start off the first period of Freshman…

the class size and teacher to student ratios. When Mrs. Johnson started talking about her relationship with students, I was kind of encouraged because this is something that I had not seen in the previous classroom that I was in, but when I look back on my experience in Mrs. Johnson’s classroom, I am very discouraged by what she had to say. When she first started talking, I agreed with the points she was making. She talked a fair amount about how Know Your School Night was not as accessible to…
