Lesson plan

My first grade teacher, Mrs. Shaffer, was one of the biggest influences on me becoming a teacher. She was loving, caring, fun, never yelled or raised her voice, helped me to read, and made me feel safe in her classroom. Ever since being in Mrs. Shaffer's class, I have always wanted to be a teacher. I love working with children. Throughout the years I have had some amazing mentors who have also influenced and guided me through the profession. I’ve been in education for more than 8 years. These…

For this assignment, I chose Debra Henderson’s class. After reading the summary, her class seems to be an engaging place for students to learn.

Individual development and identity 5. Individuals, groups, and institutions 6. Power, authority, and governance 7. Production, distribution, and consumption 8.…

One teaching style does not suit every student. Some students enjoy a flipped classroom, are visual learners, or are kinesthetic learners. Flipped classrooms are the most efficient and convenient way to learn. Flipped classrooms tend to match almost every student’s learning style. With a flipped classroom, students have the ability to work at their own pace, go over a concept as many times as necessary, and ask peers for help. Accordingly, a flipped classroom allows students to work on…

Class Description: I observed Mr. Meza’s classroom which consisted of 10th grade English students. His classroom was set up so that his students were seated in groups of four. His classroom was of average size however, it felt a tad bit crowded simply because of the organization of the tables. The tables were scattered instead of aligned and/or equally spaced. Some posters and assignments were up on the walls but there were more school rules and regulations that met the eye at first glance. The…

This week, I interviewed a few students from each grade about who was doing an outstanding job in their class and being a leader. These students are all great examples of what a Van Allen Rocket should be! The sixth grade Student of the Week is Aisha Ahmed from Mr. Hartman’s class. She doesn’t interrupt the teacher when he/she is talking, she follows directions, she’s been really positive, she respects herself, others, and property, and she does her work and turns in on time. Great job, Aisha!…

The special bond formed between a student and a teacher is one that will last a life time. The impact’s of this bond not only benefit the student in the moment, but shape their future in a healthy way. A teachers main goal is to use their power to structure students beliefs and influence their opinions on future careers. Throughout high school, I constantly kept this thought in the back of my mind. It wasn't until my sophomore year when I was finally given the opportunity to connect so closely…

On Tuesday, October 20, 2015, I observed a fourth-grade class at Media Elementary School in Media, PA. The teacher was Mrs. Williamsons, and there was also a student teacher, Emily in the class.

The set-up of the room was traditional 3 wide rows facing the board so that everyone is closer to the board. Also, there was a sitting area with a rug and that was closer to the electronic board, where…

hands. As a teacher, I believe that my students would benefit from the video that I chose whether they look at the video before class or after class as a review. Watching the video could help the students better prepare for the lesson and have a better understanding of the lesson. What I liked about using Ed Puzzle id that there are a variety of videos that I can choose from. I can also just look at videos for my own benefit as well as my future students.…
