I would implement read-alouds for the classroom because I noticed that there were issues going on in the classroom that a read-aloud could have helped spark conversations and the class could have had the opportunity to fix the issues. For example, there are several students in my class that required additional assistance when completing an assignment but when I tried to help them by asking thought-provoking questions and guiding them they would become extremely frustrated and say “I do not know, just tell me.” I had a few students who would get angry if their art project was not perfect. I had a student who was devastated when I made a correction on his paper because he automatically thought it was all wrong, and I had a student who felt …show more content…
In the beginning, I believe I will randomly draw sticks to assign classroom jobs. However, if it comes to a point when I know that I child is more successful when having the responsibility of a certain classroom job I believe I will have a classroom job with the classroom and talk with them about the jobs they like or they would not mind not doing. Then, I will be able to assign jobs according to the student's likes. I would like to keep the classroom jobs assigned to a student for a full week. I think that will allow them to enjoy their job duties for a while and I will not have to be constantly changing the student’s …show more content…
However, throughout the course, I learned that guidance is much more than rules. Guidance is about learning about the students on a personal level, which I learned right away when I created the picture letter and asked questions about the students. When I received the responses, I was able to talk to the students about their interest and learn more about them and their likes. In completing the coursework, I realized that learning about the student was a major factor. I learned that the more I know about my students the better guidance I will have in my classroom because I will be able to implement the techniques that will work for them and that they need in order to be
However, after using activities to help get better understanding of the student as well as setting rules can make it easier. First, I would tell the students all the rules by using the C.H.A.M.P.S method during the first meeting so the student can understand the expectations during all the meetings. Since, I’ve worked as an America Tutor in the past if a student did not respect the rule or had hard time with it we would do activities and one-one time to understand the difficulty behind it. For instance, if a student were to say no to participating in an activity I would try different methods such as asking if they would like to be in a smaller group and talk to them to learn what is bothering them from participating. At the end of the day the most important thing is communication. The way that you communicate with the students will play huge impact in the the student will learn but also the way that you carry yourself. If you go to work with not a positive attitude then you will receive the same outcome with your student and vice

Differentiated instruction caters to differences among students, how students learn, different learning styles, and the interest of each learner. Running records support differentiating lessons for each learner during guided reading. Running records are diagnostic tools designed to identify a student’s reading deficiencies and monitor progress. The implementation of running records allows the teacher to differentiate each child’s reading lesson and hone in on the child’s needs and abilities. It is the educator’s responsibility to fine-tune instructional needs so that classroom, small group, and one-to-one teaching occur when and for whom they are needed in a timely way and with the high quality every child deserves (Fountas & Pinnell, 2009). Each child enters a classroom with varying needs; differentiating guided reading lessons based on the results of running records will help meet the individual needs of each child. Kelly M. Anderson (2007) states, teachers who differentiate believe each child is unique, with differing learning styles and preferences. Teachers can differentiate based on students’ readiness by varying the level of difficulty of the material covered in class. Guided reading offers the opportunity to vary the children’s reading based on their reading level. Differentiating instruction is not lowering expectations for some students. Differentiating instruction is establishing high expectations for all students while varying the process to which each child learns the same concept. Differentiating involves addressing the individual needs of diverse learners. Watts-Taffe, et al. (2012) notes although differentiating instruction is not new; it has become increasingly i...
Creating ways to handle problems with guidance approach are very much like a journey to me. Teachers practice guidance when they help children to learn from their mistakes, rather than punish them for mistake they make, and it should not be considered as misbehaviour, but as mistaken behaviour. This reminds us that Child is just at the beginning of a lifelong learning process. At this stage we all make mistakes. Mistaken behaviour is made up of three different levels which in themselves explain each level in the learning process as they lack the experience and interaction to know the difference and therefore make errors in judgement in their actions. The three levels
The assignment is to create a plan that will inform parents, students, and the school community of your philosophy of behavior guidance. You may adapt ideas to showcase your personality, but the fundamental rationale for this guidance plan should be based on your learning in this course. The guidance plan should be divided in the following sections:Page 1: The first page is your philosophy of the teacher’s, students’ and parents’ role in shaping a child’s behavior. You might write it as a personal philosophy divided into paragraphs to fit these categories OR s
What judgment would you make about using this recommended practice in a classroom today? Why?
...rther increase success because it is not only reaching the students who would benefit from the instruction but for on-level students to receive more practice. Without a basic knowledge of phonemic awareness students will struggle through reading and manipulating sounds of new words. The intervention is easy to implement in schools/classrooms and should be implemented at a young grade level so students will receive the help to succeed. I feel now that I am much better equipped with phonemic awareness and able to teach and aid struggling students.
As a teacher, you need to encourage all attempts at reading, writing, speaking, and allowing children to experience the different functions and use of literacy activity (The Access Center, n.d.). Moreover, it is crucial for educators to understand phonological awareness and phonics; know what constitutes good children’s literature and how to use it; know children who need additional assistance with beginning reading and writing (Cunningham et al, 2004 as cited in McLachlan et al, 2013, p. 112). Educators also need to plan effective activities to assist children experience reading aloud, listening to other children read aloud, listening to tape recordings, and videotapes so children have opportunities to integrate and extend their literacy knowledge (The Access Center, n.d.). Morrow (1990 as cited in The Access Center, n.d.) notes that classroom with greater teacher facilitation promote literacy behaviours, so it is educators’ role to provide literacy rich
Total Communication seems to me to be the best philosophy for teaching Deaf or Hard of Hearing students because it incorporates all means of communication, which includes formal signs, natural gestures, finger spelling, body language, lip-reading, and speech. The goal of Total Communication is to optimize language development in the best way possible for each student. This philosophy of teaching will prepare students to be successful adults in the real world because they will have the opportunity to gain the knowledge they needed without having to struggle through understanding what everyone around them is saying.
Reading to children can teach them skills they’ll need throughout their entire life. Reading aloud not only enhances their skills, it also affects how the their school life is. Being read to regularly is important to maintain the skills that the child learns, the earlier a child is being read to, the more skills they acquire. Parents will benefit from reading also, it creates a bond with their child that last a lifetime. Reading aloud will introduce children to books and reading so they can eventually do it on their own. Reading to children can improve many aspects of their life.
The authenticity of Interactive Reading is clear and therefore leads us to explore HOW we, as teachers, incorporate this strategy in our teaching most effectively. Fisher, Flood, Lapp, and Frey's study on "read-aloud practices" provides an excellent, research based framework for the implementation of Interactive Reading based on their observations of teachers in classrooms. Their 7 "essential components of an interactive read-aloud" is a practical guide of using this strategy and can be implimented with all children. These components provide a structure that allows us to teach ALL children (inherently allowing differentiation) while attending to common core state standards. Use of this strategy attends to the understanding of language and literacy development while providing for specific skill instruction in reading and writing.
Teaching classroom rules and procedures will contribute to a safe and secure environment for students. Classroom rules should be the same for everyone, however, like I mentioned above there are exceptions to be made on an individual basis. All interactions within the classroom should be positive. There will be no teasing or harassing of any kind. Respect, trust, and understanding will be the foundation of classroom rules. It is important to keep an open mind and treat each student with fairness, with the hope that in return students will learn to treat each other as equals and with
The most important rule that I believe in is that my classroom should be a place of learning. The best way to create this type of environment is to make sure that I am consistent with all students and that I make the students feel comfortable and relaxed. I believe that students learn more in a consistent relaxed atmosphere, because all students need to know that what’s wrong for one is wrong for all and what is right for one is right for all. I want my students to be comforted in the feeling that they are all on equal footing when they step into my classroom.
A very important part of the teachers role is to monitor learners performances and keep records such as lessons plans, attendances, punctuality, assessments, achievements and learners development. With all that information the teacher will find easier to get to know the students properly and adopt different strategies that ensure successful learning for all. Being a teacher is a very challenging and honourable profession.
Discipline plays a key part in education. Respect from your students will make the classroom a better atmosphere. Rules should be established on the first day. Rules should be a thoughtful process so they can be carried out to be affective, but logical consequences. We do not want the students self esteem to be damaged.
