Recommended: Outline the role of a teacher

When I first walked into the classroom, the teacher was standing on the carpet with the students. There were interactive videos playing on the smartboard, and the teacher was moving along to the video with the students. The teacher was saying things like; “keep up the good work” and “I love your dance moves.” I first interaction the teacher had with Lexi was when she wanted her sweatshirt off and needed assistance. The teacher observed that Lexi was in the process of taking her sweatshirt off and asked, “Lexi do you need help?”. She shook her head yes and the teacher proceeded to help her remove her sweatshirt. After this, the next interaction happened five minutes later once all the videos ended. The teacher was asking certain students if

    The disabilities identified were Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Emotional Disturbance (ED), and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). The special education teacher began to interact with all of the students right as they entered the classroom and also while the teacher provided them with instruction. She was extremely personable and approachable. It was apparent that even though it was a three- week summer school session, she had established a connection with the students and, therefore, developed a learning bond in the process. The boys seemed to have a great bond as well, and they worked together to complete their assignments. There were also obvious interactions among the boys that were unrelated to the lesson but not disturbing or distracting to the class. The special education teacher jokingly came near the boys and began to talk to them and suggested they continue to work together to keep each other engaged. The special education teacher mentioned that there were times when the boys will not respond to encouraging them to stay engaged and will resist her advances. Therefore, she has to make the decision when to press on to get them involved and when to back off and give them some time with the hopes that they will

    This makes me think that Kennedy is experiencing problems outside of the classroom, however they are manifesting inside of the classroom. My first concern would be for the safety of Kennedy.I would not jump to conclusions that her problems stems from familial problems due to the disconnection of the phone line, it could be a coincidence of her parents phone number to be disconnected. Kennedy's classroom behavioral concerns could emerge from household concerns, recent loss of a love one, environmental concerns, bullying, etc and I would not want to approach the situation without bias. Yet, I do believe that Kennedy is having a crisis that needs to be addressed. My reason being is that Kennedy is having a hard time focusing in class, she is

    In an educational context, it is important to observe the client in the classroom in order to gain insight into how the child engages in the natural environment (Groth-Marnat, 2003). In observing the child in this manner, you gain insight into the relationship between the teacher and the child and how they interact, the general learning environment, as well as observing interactions with peers and other staff members (Groth-Marnat, 2003). Additionally, information can be collected on observed behaviors, strengths, and other observable data that might otherwise be unattainable through testing (Groth-Marnat, 2003).

    Last Semester, the classroom I was in resembled the “Boot Camp” that DeVries and Zan (2012) talk about. In the “Boot Camp” classroom, “Children follow the Drill Sergeant teacher’s directions not only for arithmetic, but how to sit and where to have their hands” (DeVries & Zan, 2012, p. 11). The children in my field site were always reminded to sit with their legs crossed even though the children often wanted to sit on their knees or with their legs straight out. This was very difficult for the children because there were 20 children in the class and the limited classroom space required everyone to sit the same way. When the teachers were talking during circle or story time, the children were expected to be quiet and paying attention to the teacher. The teachers would often correct the children’s behavior by criticizing them. I also often noticed my teachers using negative language with the children which made the atmosphere of

  • Why Do Women Participate During Pregnancy?

    I've been assigned to a partner teacher that works with two Biology 30-1 classes and a single Science 10 AP class. Prior to starting I was a bit intimidated by the learning environment I was stepping into but as it turn out it was extremely informal and perhaps even laid back. For example, during the birthing lesson this morning one of the girls in class blurted out a question asking if it was "true that women shit themselves during pregnancy?" I immediately expected a serious tone from my partner teacher but she matter of factly explained the biology and mechanics behind why such things could occur before going back to her presentation. When questioned later my partner teacher explained that overreacting to the students action only gives them what they want and encourages more from her and her peers. Furthermore, while it was entirely feasible to enter and win a power struggle with the student in the process she would lose the respect of the students friends and the rest of her class.

    My observation experience is progressing at a very good pace. The first week that I was in the classroom, the students were a little apprehensive to me since they were unsure of what my role was or why I was even in the classroom. However, since their teacher discussed my presence more and made sure the students understood I was not another teacher but an observer, they were more comfortable. The students are very comfortable with me in their room and are more willing to come talk to me and ask me to play or help them at various times in the classroom. I too, am becoming more comfortable in the classroom and am really enjoying the observation process. Even though it is the same classroom and the same bunch of kids each observation,
