The atmosphere of Mrs. Cobaugh’s classroom environment makes an informative impression upon one as they enter her classroom. Decorations upon the walls consist of mottos of encouragement of a job well done, hard work, and a bulletin board from the book Screw Tape Letters as an example of what she expects in the assignment. While the classroom is dimly light, the students are arranged in the traditional format with the teacher’s desk positioned in the back of the room and students facing the whiteboard.
Interesting enough the classroom management procedure were being review for her eleventh grade English class, since two sections were being combined together. Therefore, she reiterated her classroom procedure because she had double the number
“Men are from Mars, women are from Venus” as the famous saying of John Gray goes. It is believed men and women are nothing alike in almost every aspect. In Deborah Tannen’s essay “Gender in the classroom: Teacher’s Classroom Strategies Should Recognize that Men and Women Use Language Differently” she focused on how men and women differ when it comes to communicating, with emphasis on how it effects to how men and women behave in the classroom.
The Coquette; or, The History of Eliza Wharton narrates the tribulations of an unmarried woman in post-revolutionary America. The author Hannah Webster Foster uses the story of Miss Wharton as an allegory of female moral decay. The highly patriarchal demands that women be submissive, domestic, and married. However, the protagonist Eliza Wharton has conflicting ideas of her expectations within the society. She is highly intelligent and yearns for self-determination. Though the novel is about seduction, Foster significantly altered the basic structure of novels at the time by relating it from the female perspective. The result is a novel that explores several significant themes in post-revolutionary America among them, the existence, and the need for female education.
Organize the physical environment – the way the desks, tables, and other classroom materials are arranged affects instruction and has an influence on order
Charlotte Danielson, an internationally recognized expert in the area of teacher effectiveness, created The Framework for Teaching, which is comprised of four domains of teaching responsibility (Danielson, 1996). Danielson specializes in the design of teacher evaluation to ensure teacher quality and to promote professional learning. Danielson’s framework is based on large amounts of research, including the Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) project, supported by the Gates Foundation (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, 2013). Danielson’s framework also aligns with the Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC), which outlines what a beginner teacher should possess in skills. In addition, it is the underlying set of ideas
assignments. In the case of Miss Hiller, she was becoming very discouraged because she didn’t seem to know how to motivate her students to learn. She is also bothered of the fact that the students didn’t seem to like her, and that she is having problems disciplining her students. Stansbury and Zimmerman (2000) suggests that to make life less stressful for new teachers like Miss Hiller, the principal may reduce the number of students in a beginning teacher’s classrooms, refrain from assigning them the most challenging students, and minimize their extracurricular and committee assignments.
In an old society such as 1799 having intimacy with someone and not being marry was unacceptable, it questioned the integrety of the woman and values of the family. It was a shame and even more if got to be pregant ,no man will take her has wife and single mother will not be easy. Eliza Wharton´s a fiction character made up from the novel ¨The Coquette¨ by Hanna Webster Foster a higher educated woman lived in 1758-1840 published The Boarding School; or, Lessons of a Preceptress to Her Pupils, a commentary on female education in the United States and her more famous ¨The Coquette¨ inspired in the gossip around the city about women who where easy lovers. It is a common case with a more complex message for the young ladies in which morals are
I visited Mrs. Cable’s kindergarten classroom at Conewago elementary school one afternoon and observed a math lesson. Mrs. Cable had an attention-grabbing lesson and did many great things in the thirty minutes I observed her. I have my own personal preferences, just like every teacher, and I do have a few things I would do differently. There are also many ways this observation can be related to the material discussed in First Year Seminar.
In earlier times, the acquisition and spreading of knowledge was not used to improve society. Instead it was used to have control and to exclude certain groups. As one could imagine, there needed to be a change in the way that the education system was set up. In her essay, “Project Classroom Makeover”, Cathy Davidson discusses how the “one size fits all” model of learning hinders students from learning in a new and modernized way. She suggests the notion that using technology to teach and learn can be effective in many ways. Davidson shows that using technology presents the opportunity for a traditional classroom to become more inclusive and creative. The “democratization of knowledge” is the improvement and modernization of how information is taught and learned. Having a modernized and advanced learning system is a vital point for students because they gain insight and experience with what is considered a society dominated by advanced technology. Technology has become a dominant resource in the 21st century which makes it a relevant and essential factor needed to succeed in the world of education and
As the dull scent of chalk dust mixes imperceptably with the drone of the teacher's monotone, I doodle in my tablet to stay awake. I notice vaguely that, despite my best efforts in the shower this morning after practice, I still smell like chlorine. I sigh and wonder why the school's administration requires the students to take a class that, if it were on the Internet, would delight Mirsky (creator of Mirsky's Worst of the Web), as yet another addition to his list of worthless sites. Still, there was hope that I would learn something that would make today's first class more than just forty-five wasted minutes... It wouldn't be the first time I learned something new from the least likely place.

These students worked in a classroom that was designed with them in mind. The halls were divided up by grades and each segment of the school was built to
Announcements signal the end of time to work on the bell ringer, and after announcements Ms. Schreyer leads the class in checking their work. After morning work is completed, the students begin their science block, then the students had their technology special. During this time, Ms. Schreyer had a planning period. When the students return from technology, a few students leave for a pull out emotional support class, a student from second grade joins the class, and the rest of the students have math class. After math class ends, the students went to lunch as I completed my time in the classroom. On Thursdays, I arrive a few minutes into math class, typically as they finished checking homework from the night before. I observed the remainder of the math lesson until it is time for lunch and recess. During recess most weeks, Ms. Schreyer's classroom was the workroom for students who did not complete their homework or lost recess time for whatever reason. After recess the students have a bathroom break, then switch classes. Ms. Schreyer's homeroom students move on to writing, and a new group of students came to math class. This class has 18 students, and included the students who receive
It’s a warm sunny day in Vinland elementary school. The sun has made a rare appearance and is lazily creeping through the window, painting the normally grey walls a calming yellow. All the students are sitting at their desk drawing the rows and columns of sheep. Except one little girl. Her appearance matches her Norwegian town with her blond hair and light-colored eyes. She has been sitting at her desk explaining to her answer to her teacher. She did her math using her number and drew her sheep but for explanation all she wrote was “I used my brain.” She doesn’t know why she drew the sheep and writing the she multiplied 3x4 just seems redundant since that’s what the question asked her to do. The teacher wants her to write about how she used
