This interview allowed me to ask my cooperating teacher some questions on how she deals with one particular student. I know that teachers try to do the best that they can to help all of their students be successful in their classroom. When interviewing my teacher, the student that she decided to base her answers off of is a student that is hearing impaired. The hearing impaired student is an excellent student that does well in class and his accommodations help him do so. Along with talking about the hearing impaired student my cooperating teacher also tells me about another student she has. This particular student has autism and she talked about how hard it was to get this student to do his assignments and how he would never look her in the eyes. She mentions how she worked closely with the student’s grandmother to help the student complete assignments. The student also had trouble writing in class due to him not having good
My greatest academic strengths include critical thinking,critical reading, creativity, listening skills, and perseverance. I’ve gained these strengths by challenging myself academically. My greatest academic weaknesses include a short attention span, cramming, and not being a good test
This interview was very personal for me. The boy who suffers from Apraxia is my eight year old nephew, so the person who I interviewed was my sister. It is very hard for her each year because as he continues to further his education, the more she has to email and have conferences with his teachers to make sure they understand exactly what is going on. When I have conversations with him and he gets into a story or gets excited, he starts to stutter. Apraxia is rare in schools and that is why my sister has to educate all of his teachers on his disability.
It is very common for a child with Autism to have outburst frequently; therefore, it is important to know how to control the situation. Then her teacher allowed Daisy time and space to calm down. Daisy’s teacher gave her support at recess by allowing her a quiet, “safe” environment and a special way of “connecting” with other kids through a popular common interest, Buster. I really liked how the school principal, teacher, special education staff, and parents did there best to work as a team and find it important for all of us to do this when working with students. The school also had an older student, matching Daisy’s interest, who was enlisted as a “buddy”.
My strengths and weaknesses will serve as my compass by pointing me in the direction that ensures that my student’s needs are met through my performance as a school
Were you surprised by the strengths identified? Overall, I was not surprised by the strengths identified after completing the assessment. The five strengths identified included: achiever, learner, focus, restorative, and futuristic.
Another technique I learned is to create good classroom procedures and rules. Having good procedures and rules will allow the students to know what I expect in the classroom and the class will run fluently. I also learned about motivation in students. We discussed certain strategies that we can use as an educator to increase motivation in the classroom. Some strategies that I will use in my classroom are; to use rewards sparingly, make my students feel welcomed, be positive, use praise orally, promote mastery learning, and use clear and constructive
What are your two strengths and what is your weakness? My two greatest strengths are my communication and problem solving skills. I excel at understanding customer needs and motivations, and using this insight to tailor selling points, to understand potential obstacles, and to devise effective solutions. My greatest weakness has been the difficult I have in declining additional work assignments.
One strategy that reinforces learning through collaboration is team teaching. In the classroom both teachers are positioned at the front of the classroom with different responsibilities. For example, one teacher may write notes, while the other delivers large group instruction. Through team teaching, both educators can bounce ideas off one another or show students two different methods of solving a problem. This strategy is most effective in a coteaching partnership emphasizing give and take.
Based on my experience, the one recommendation that I can make based off my learning style is to focus on the student’s needs and the environment. My instructional style is driven by hands-on activities and multimedia formats when teaching but that is a challenge when you are in a restricted environment. It would have been nice to have a bit more freedom when completing activities and socializing. Although, with the restricted environment I was able to complete activities with the student I just had to alter my instructional style a bit to fit both the student and the environment ‘s
It is a viable tool for addressing the maximum participation of the child and can be a catalyst to ensure effective learning. Effective teachers use an array of teaching strategies because there is no single, universal approach that suits all situations. Different strategies used in different combinations with different groupings of students will improve learning outcomes. Some strategies are better suited to teaching skills and fields of knowledge than others. Some strategies are better suited to certain student backgrounds, learning styles and
While I was in the Multi-Needs/ FBI Intensive classroom, I worked with Cameron again, by assisting him to complete a math worksheet. I found myself to be more directive with this student, decreasing the amount of delays while finishing his task. Cameron’s teacher’s aide, relates content to Cameron’s life by including cartoon characters and five-minute break to watch cartoon movie credits after three activities. In comparison to teaching a lesson, I will be giving Gabi graded word lists as part of my BRI project I worked with Cameron again, and this time, Cameron was more on task and ready to complete his math worksheet activity. I am working with a sixth-grade student to complete my BRI assignment project.
It might not portray Autism right, but you can see that Fred is different and you should be accepting to everyone, not saying we are. For a student like Fred, inclusion might not be the best choice. He was not getting challenged enough in a general classroom. He needed the college course load. Although the stress of college is not for a seven year old.
1. Student’s skill strengths and weaknesses: (Refer to the 5 areas of reading provided earlier in the lesson and provide specific descriptions using the assessment data.) 1. After analyzing the student’s reading assessments, list one reading skill strength and explain why you selected this as a strength using information from the reading assessments. Be sure to include assessment data in your justification. Skill Strength: Phonetic awareness.
During this time, they primarily worked on worksheets designed for the special education classroom as well as working on achieving their goals for accelerated reading. There were a few students who came in for an hour with work from their general education classroom and needed extra help completing their work. There were two students who had more severe disabilities, but they worked with paraprofessionals and did not do the same work as the rest of the class. One method of adjusting the work to meet the needs of the students that I noticed being used a lot in the classrooms I observed was cutting down the amount of work that they had to do. I
Strengths: As a student one of my strengths is organization. I can say I can keep my school materials and notebooks organized in a way that I and others can comprehend. The reason I can say I am organized is because, I have hardly ever had in the past or present any issues with trying to find homework or assignments because I always kept my materials for each class organized and in a place I could easily find. Another strength I have is social skills. I can believe that I communicate with others well in a group.
