  • The Daily Five, By Gail Boushey And Joan Moser

    1016 Words  | 3 Pages

    The teaching strategy focuses on the student’s engagement to create reading with meaning. This reading strategy allows students to have more freedom to make their own decisions in what they read and how they read, without the teacher forcing materials upon them. As well, more time is allotted during the school day for students to engage in reading activities, instead of using traditional methods of writing paper and answering questions on a worksheet after reading a book. The Daily Five teaching strategy also strongly develops oral communication skills within students and their peers. By doing so, it creates a sense of community in the classroom that traditional teaching methods did not have. This teaching strategy allows the student to question the material they are reading, which includes their interests, ability to comprehend, and understanding vocabulary. Through the Daily Five teaching strategy, students are also able to find books that interests them, without the teacher giving them group of “leveled” books students may not personally

  • My Philosophy Of Reading And Writing Curriculum

    While I believe every child is a reader, I do not believe every child will be enthralled with reading all the time. All students have the capability to read and enjoy reading, but just like any other hobby, interest will vary from student to student. The students in my classroom will be encouraged in their reading, be provided with choice, taught how books can take you into another world but, my students will not be forced to read. This paper will illustrate my philosophy of reading through the theories I relate to, the way I want to implement reading and writing curriculum, and the methods I will use motivate my students to read and help them become literate.

  • Reciprocal Teaching Essay

    703 Words  | 2 Pages

    Our job, as educators, is to create an atmosphere in which students learn and thrive. It is a goal of every teacher to be efficient in guiding students through the learning process, all the while instilling within them the means to succeed. It has become clear that one of the most important ways an educator can do this is by helping students learn to not only read, but to understand what they’re reading as well. Learning to read and comprehend is an important skill that is used consistently throughout everyday life. It is not only used for discovering new things and expanding the imaginations of readers everywhere, but it is also a vital tool in communicating during day-to-day activities. One way that teachers can accommodate students with the gift of reading, is by introducing students to literacy strategies that can help them make reading an easier and more enjoyable task. Luckily, there is a wide variety of strategies that an educator can use, but the one that I will focus on is known as reciprocal teaching.

  • Teacher Observation Essay

    In order to see what it’s like to teach in a school setting, the proficient way of doing that is to go observe a teacher with students in a classroom. In my case, I‘ve spent twenty-five hours throughout this semester observing three math teachers at Bayside High School located in Queens, New York. To be considerate of each teacher’s identity, I’ll be referring to their names as Teacher A who teaches geometry, Teacher B who teaches algebra, and Teacher C who teaches pre-calculus. I’ve taken extensive notes on the diversity of students, the issues of poverty, the methods of how teachers present information along with managing classrooms, and their expectations of their pupils.

    Another agreed-upon explored form of teachers’ conformity is Identification Approach, through which teachers do not behave in a particular way because such behavior is intrinsically satisfying. Rather, teachers adopt a particular behavior because it puts them in a satisfying relationship to the colleagues or authorities with whom they are identifying. They do come to believe in the opinions and values they adopt, though not very strongly. They want to be like some particular colleagues or authorities in the institute. Continuous reward or punishment is not necessary in identification approach.

I figured there would be group discussions consisting of some controversial issues, but I had no idea how the course would make me feel as a person and as a future educator. So far, this class has brought to light the incredibly difficult decisions I will have to make as a teacher. Not only will those decisions affect the child and parents of that child at hand, but myself as well.

    The teacher that I observed was Mrs. Cynthia Carney. She is the kindergarten teacher at Greystone Elementary school. As my first time in the classroom, I tried to observe as much as possible. I had a great first impression of the classroom, it is a very positive environment, and the teacher has definitely established a clear routine and rules that the students follow. The teacher did a very brief (5-10 minute) science lesson/introduction to the unit on weather. Although the teacher did not inform my partner and I about the exact objectives for the lesson, it was clear that she wanted the students to learn about making observations about weather. Her objective
