Classroom Observation

I use to believe that being a teacher was going to be eight hours of teaching and being

with children. Being a teacher seemed to be the easiest career choice out there for me. After

viewing the students of all ages and levels, I have changed my opinion of teaching. There is an

unknown side to the world that can only be seen when inside a classroom. Watching the students

have made me realize that being a teacher will carry some difficulties. Observing has made me

realize that there is more to teaching, the classroom, and what goes on inside.

Over the five observations, I have learned more than I could ever imagined. I went into

this experience believing I knew everything there was to know about teaching. I witnessed the

good and bad moments during my time observing. The teachers I observed have shown me what

I should and should not do in certain situations. Observing the classroom has taught me vital

information that I needed to know to become successful.

When I first walked into Manchester Intermediate, I had mixed emotions. I was excited to be

there when I started interacting with the students. I wanted to watch the teachers and imagaine

what it would be like to be in front of students teaching. I became also nervous about the idea of

being with students, also afraid that I was going to make them uncomfortable. After sitting in the

classroom for ten minutes, my fears transformed. I had a wonderful experience when observing

the students, leading all my fears into excitement. I now cannot wait to be with children again.

...ssion. My main goal now is to have plenty

of interaction with my students. When watching the teachers, I noticed that the interactions with

their students led to a more enjoyable classroom. Students seemed to enjoy being in the

classroom and learning from their teachers. If I can interact with my students the way some of

the teachers I observed, I know I can be a successful teacher. By accomplishing this goal, I

should be able to become a more effective teacher.

The classrooms I observed taught me more information that I could have ever imagined. I

realized how my strengths play a key role into being a successful teacher. I now understand what

I need to work on with my weaknesses. I saw how interactions play a key role in being a successful teacher. Observing in the classroom has opened me into a new unseen perspective of the world of teaching

    Help students increase their perception of control over their environment by showing them how to better manage their own stress levels. Instead of telling students to act differently, take the time to teach them how to act differently. By introducing conflict resolution skills, teaching anger and frustration management, helping student set goals, role-modeling, teaching and exemplifying social skills, as a teacher I can have a huge impact on these children and could help buffer the effects of their habitus, cultural capital, SES, and step in to help stop the cultural reproduction of social inequality in my classroom. Ultimately, I want my students to benefit from the hidden curriculum in my classroom, and I would work hard to ensure that the unwritten, unofficial, and often-unintended lessons, values, and perspectives I expose my children to are beneficial and positive in shaping their

    As the time approached, my attitude toward student-teaching was one of confidence and in some ways overconfidence. I believed that I was equipped with all of the tools necessary to be a superior teacher. Little did I know what truly goes on behind the scenes of a teacher. Between grading papers, attending meetings, and preparing lessons, I would often feel overwhelmed. Still, student teaching would prove to be much more valuable than I anticipated. It would teach me to appreciate the wisdom of mentors and experienced teachers, value or being organized and prepared, and lastly the resilience of students.

  • Homeland Security Definition

    376 Words  | 1 Pages

    The concept of homeland security has developed over the last decade. Homeland security as a concept was precipitated by the terrorist attacks of 9/11. However, prior to 9/11 such entities as the Gilmore Commission and the United States Commission on National Security discussed the need to evolve the way national security policy was conceptualized due to the end of the Cold War and the rise of radicalized terrorism. After 9/11, policymakers concluded that a new approach was needed to address the large-scale terrorist attacks. A presidential council and department were established, and a series of presidential directives were issued in the name of “homeland security.” These developments established that homeland security was a distinct, but undefined

    Along these two weeks we have been prompt to make a recall to our own way of learning and why we became a teacher: Was it because coincidence, due to life circumstances, maybe because family tradition, was it a conscious decision or because someone influenced us? Whatever the answer is, we have to face reality and be conscious that being a teacher does not only means to teach a lesson and asses students learning. It requires playing the different roles a teacher must perform whenever is needed and required by our learners, identify our pupils needs and preferences, respecting their integrity and individuality but influencing and motivating them to improve themselves and become independent.

    The students that I observed in the classroom were of middle to high school. I went to see 8th, freshman, 10th , and seniors classes, they seemed excited and very curious to why I was there. The middle school was more alive and rambunctious while I observed them. The High school kids were more relaxed, more comical. Some were paying attention while others seemed tuned out to the lecture or involved in socialization with friends within the class. By the end of the class Mr. Hasgil had restored the attention of everyone by using tactics such as history jeopardy with candy as the prize with the high school kids. In both he middle school and high school the kids were mostly Caucasian with a mixture of black, Asian , and Hispanic in the classes.
