Dear Dr. LaCour, first and far-most, let me say that I did not expect to be dismissed today and my apologies for the disruption. I want to make it clear that I did not say to Mrs. Buffington that I am leaving or any such wordings sating that. As I was walking back towards the room, she was already talking to 8D and then turned to me and asked: "What's going on?" I briefly stated that, "I am done for right now. I am not going back into that classroom going back into the classroom with 8D until Mr. Farrow gets here." Also, I stated to her that even though I had given every potion of the ITBS that was scheduled yesterday, some of the scholars are yelling that I didn't let them finish. Let me express how I do enjoy being at A.W. Brown Fellowship Leadership Academy and many of the scholars who attend. 8B, C, and D, need a consistent teacher present and I promised them that. Many of them have settled down and beginning …show more content…

Buffington has continued to undermine my instructional authority while, in the presence of 8B, C, and D. Her demeanor was clear in Monday's meeting, when I explained to her how the Texas Reading curriculum also aligns with the Science curriculum. Her claims were that she does not see a correlation between the two and that Science is not Reading. She stated that there was no need for the students to know the objectives, because many of them "suffer from test anxiety." This confirms why 8C has been extremely vocal in not wanting to do their work when it comes to Mr. Smalls's class. Her behavior was clearly evident, that she doesn't agree with cross curriculum, even after returning to the Science room during Monday's faculty meeting. As of to date, Mrs. Buffington has failed to give me the suggested readings, which she advised, concerning Science. When I asked her for the 3rd time on Monday, regarding the reading, she hesitated and said that she would get back with me. On Tuesday, Ms. Cox yielded a reading packet marked "Assessment

However, these “wrong answers” that the student came up with, should not be discouraged so quickly

    The current supervisor of the science department is new to the position.

The supervisor is not well liked by the student body because she does not believe in offering tutoring to help the students or second chances for improvement. The last couple of years, the science department had problems keeping their staff and hired new teachers. This report focuses on one of the new teachers hired for the 2007/2008 school year.

  • Mr. Mcknight Case Study

    440 Words  | 1 Pages

    She never once mentioned Mr. McKnight using any inappropriate terms during class this year. Since she did have him 3 times (remediation, science, and social studies), I suggest a quick easy move would be to put her in a new remediation group. Mrs. Stokes was in the room. She made that change. After our conversation Kaylan returned back to Mr. McKight’s room without hesitation. I spoke with Mr. McKnight regarding Kaylan after school. He is frustrated with her behavior. He sent her to ISS today because she was arguing with him in class. He did share concerns about her behavior with Mr. LeGrande the ISS teacher. He stated he was not gossiping about her in the hallway with other teachers. He did not mention her going to MLA. The mention of MLA came from Ms. LeGrande when she was discussing consequences if Kaylan choses to continue to disrupt class. Ms. Covington called back around 3:30 and I shared with her that I spoke with Kaylan. I share with her what had transpired in the meeting with Kaylan. I asked her what she believed would be best for Kaylan since she has no animosity toward Mr. McKight. Mom asked if Kaylan could be moved to another teacher. I told mom I would meet with our guidance counselor first thing in the morning and see if we could adjust her schedule since Kaylan was so

  • Field Experience Reflection: Observation In The Classroom

    This particular class period consisted of around 3 students, but one student was working particularly just by himself with his teachers aid. Even before it started Ms.Metcalf classroom energy felt a bit off, and come to find out that during lunch one of the students had been teasing the other student. The student that had also been causing trouble had out of nowhere stolen paper clips off of Ms.Metcalf. The other student was not able to stay on task, because he still felt upset from the incident that occurred during lunch. This soon became more of a discipline class rather than the student learning about math, and apparently the "bully" had created pointer with the paper clips that could have actually hurt someone. Soon after Ms. Metcalf had to call the assistant principles to step in to discipline the student, and lost a entire day of instructions due to one student misbehavior. After the misbehaving student had left she went over to the emotional distraught student and began discussing that he should never let people 's words if they weren 't nice and that entire lesson became a lesson on

  • Classroom Observation Paper

    1345 Words  | 3 Pages

    The class was filled with loud, inattentive children. When the school-children became disruptive, the teacher would just continue to teach like nothing happened; she mentioned to me on the side that, “It is their loss if they are not paying attention to the lesson…I am not going to stop the lesson just because of two or three of the children.” Those scholars are an interruption to the other students who are actually paying attention and trying to learn; Ms. Stone could have sent them to the hall for distractions. If the school-children were verbally being preoccupied, they were technologically sidetracked. Some pupils were playing games on their iPads, and diverting the attention from some of the other students. The grades were so bad that Ms. Stone had to throw away the quizzes and prompt the class for “pop quiz” with the same material on it for the next day. My anticipation for the class lessons were also incorrect; homework was submitted online, course notes were given and completed to the pupils via the teacher, and the assignment was online to complete and submit online. The learners accessed the homework AND the required textbook online with the iPad the school provided. Only a handful of the scholars were accepting the mathematical challenge in that classroom, and those scholars were the sophomores of the

    Teacher Interview summary: I had the pleasure of interviewing the 3rd grade social studies teacher Mr. Columbie. As I observed Mr. Columbie on a weekly basis, I would constantly ask him questions on how he taught social studies in his classroom and what strategies he uses. Mr. Columbie informed me that he teaches social studies in his classroom once a week, but now that the students are preparing for the FSA test he has not been teaching social studies. He explained that the schools main focus is that every teacher is teaching and building students math and reading skills. He also explained to me that he can get in trouble with the principle if he were to teach a full social studies lesson in his classroom. He told me that for social studies he is giving his students reading passages and the students are answering comprehension questions at the end of the reading.

    Giles, could have done a better job. When I first entered the classroom, I didn’t realize that it would impact me greatly. Mr. Giles would walk around the classroom and ask if anyone needed assistance. Not only would he incorporate life and politics into our academic learning, but he would also share advice for us to use in the near future. It is expected for the students who had him before to know his regulations and the way his classroom works. Therefore, it is reasonable when Mr. Giles needs to interfere if a student shows misconduct, which rarely happens. Mr. Giles is a really fun and professional idol in my academic experience. He would interact with his students to not only assist them with class work, but with advice on how to properly live in the outside world. He knows what lies outside the school walls and he intends to make it the best as possible, by guiding us into the right direction. Then again, all he wants is to improve our quality of
