2nd ½ Day Observation, Mrs. Finnell’s 4th-grade Classroom, Jefferson Intermediate School in Rocky Ford, Colorado on 1/22/2016 On Friday, January 22, 2016, I had the pleasure of observing Mrs. Finnell’s 4th-grade classroom at the Jefferson Intermediate School in Rocky Ford, Colorado. When I first arrived at the school, the 4th-grade class was at lunch. With the principle’s permission, I wondered the halls and observe some of the 5th-grade classrooms that were still in session. The first…
This semester, I observed in a preschool classroom. I have learned that patience is a virtue. All the students in my class were four years old. Considering they are at such a young age, my preschoolers need constant reminders, one after the other. Mrs. Lamplugh, their teacher, would tell them to be quiet. Not even five seconds later they are talking again. They are supposed to sit “crisscross-applesauce” on the rug. Give it a few minutes and they will be sitting on their knees or in a different…
and other verbal and nonverbal notifications sent by others. The term “public,” specifically means areas where individuals have freedom of access, but not necessarily of action (Guerrero, DeVito & Hecht, 1999). In this paper, I will describe my observations of how various people established their personal territories in five different places: the library, the elevator, the café, the concert, and the children’s playing room. People are able to take over a piece of a public territory temporarily…
Introduction: The importance of this study is to learn about birds and their relation to their habitat. There are many bird species that are abundant in the the woodlands of Westfield. Where different species of bird are located, depends on the environment. An environment can have a completely different habitat than another environment. Because of this, we suspect birds to favor one habitat over the other. From our hypothesis, we believe birds are going to be more numerous by the Westfield…
I visited the Modesto Junior College Art Gallery, it is located on the East Campus in Modesto. The title of the artwork presented that day was “Geometries in Cold Welded Steel.” This artwork was presented by the artist Tom Duchscher. Duchscher has been teaching design, sculpture, and ceramics at MJC for the past 40 years. His work has been exhibited throughout northern California and pacific northwest. For the past four decades Duchscher has dealt with the exploration of geometric forms and has…
training sessions, consultants, and observation cycles conducted by a master/mentor teacher. Teachers can often have negative reactions to this type of observation model, as it can make them feel like someone is coming in to tell them what is wrong with their practice. Alternatively, peer observation is a newly emerging form of professional development, where two teachers of similar skill level engage in pre-observations, classroom observations, and post-observation conferences for the purpose…
In Plane Sight: An Observational Analysis of Behaviour at the Airport I undertook two non-participant observations at Wellington airport over a period of two weeks. The intention was to observe the behaviour and customs people exhibited when they were not in an environment that was customary and potentially unsettling. I had also expected to take notice of things I hadn’t perceived before as when you are part of the crowd, it’s often harder to take notice of the behaviours and interactions of…
Behavioral Definitions and Objectives: The report on Jason did a very good job identifying the problem behavior. One can see, that the report is broken into multiple sections such as general information, initial interviews, data collection, and behavior intervention plan. In addition, each section is broken down into subsections. For example, the section “Behavior intervention Plan” is fragmented into: Replacement Behavior, Behavior Objective, Intervention Procedures, Fading and…
Introduction This observational report analyses and reflects upon coaching methodology and styles currently in operation. It identifies and contrasts its various styles of coaching obtained from the observation of the dynamic and multifaceted relationship between coach and athlete whilst performing in their training environment. For the purpose of this analytical report and as a principal influence in my non delineated guideline, I made use of the already existing observational methods (ASUOI)…
