Reflection On Learning And Development

858 Words4 Pages

October 6: Standard 1: Learner Development The teacher understands how learners grow and develop, recognizing that patterns of learning and development vary individually within and across the cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical areas, and designs and implements developmentally appropriate and challenging learning experiences Today Mr. Demeny switched Kay’s math and literacy blocks. Her literacy time block was directly after lunch. Mr. Demeny noticed that after lunch Kay had a much harder time concentrating, and since literacy is more difficult for her than math, she has become extremely upset while trying to get through books that were even below her reading level. We switched the times. Literacy this morning was great! We …show more content…

I was right. EBD is not for me. Brett invited me to join his class today for social skills. It was a much appreciated invitation. I want to experience as much as I can in the short time I am here and EBD is one area I would like to look into, mainly because I’ve simply never done it. Brett’s room is K-5, his youngest however, is in 1st grade. I’ve meet some of the kids throughout the days and by popping in over lunch and other times, but today was eye opening. First, I realized my size. There are two 5th grade boys that tower over me, easily 8-10 inches taller than me. Brett is a big man, and I think that is an advantage with some of these kiddos. A couple of the students are very easily triggered and a few love to push the right buttons to set others off. A lot of the students in this class spend time in the “Think Tank” and a few spend the entire day in the EBD room. They have a token system going in there and this can also easily anger some of the kids. I loved spending time with them. I loved hearing how they thought through certain “social situations” but in all honesty I don’t think I’ll be looking to teach EBD. I don’t want to sound wimping or even unkind, but some of the behaviors scare me. The unpredictability takes a special kind of teacher, and I don’t think I am

The grades of the twenty-six students ranged from first grade to fourth grade and there were more females than males in this class. My two mentors, Kelly and Brooke, were awesome, showing me how to keep up with these older children while also keeping peace within the chaotic classroom. While these children were from Watkinsville, they really were not from a low SES background, but there were many instances that the children would get into arguments and bring up someone else’s family

    Video Response 3 Addressing a student’s needs plays a vital part in the student’s academic success. Understanding one’s needs requires that a teacher take the steps to understanding the child’s personality traits, interests, abilities, disabilities, and so forth. Students are more likely to grasp the interest of learning a specific subject if they feel that the teacher is kind and understanding, just as Trisha and Brittany’s teachers is. Brittany’s mother mentions that a significant change is notable in Brittany’s self-esteem and grades (Kirk, Gallagher, & Coleman, 2015). Trisha certainly associates her good grades to her relationship with her science teacher and identifies her teacher as helpful (Kirk, Gallagher, & Coleman, 2015).

  • Literature Review: Multisensory Instruction In Education

    737 Words  | 3 Pages

    Literature Review “Children know how to learn in more ways than we know how to teach them.” —Ronald Edmonds (1991) Each child learns in a different way, therefore if teachers are mainly focused on instructing the majority auditory/visual learners; the students who have different learning styles needs aren’t being met, which results in lack of basic skills moving forward. The idea of one instructional strategy fitting all is creating a void in classrooms; which in turn is failing to help those students struggling the most. Campbell, Helf, and Cooke, (2008) suggests a reason for some students’ ongoing lack of achievements that, “too often, students are instructed indirectly, watching and listening to the teacher or other students with little or no opportunity to actually read” (p. 268).
