The Importance Of Classroom Observation

1387 Words6 Pages

Observing a classroom helped me get an understanding as to why teachers have different teaching theories and management. Observing allows you to listen to what a teacher has to say to every question that is being asked and allows you to see what types of questions the teacher is asking. Observing allows you to see what is being acknowledged and what is not and what is being enhanced. It allows you to see how students are learning and absorbing what the teacher is saying and how it allows them to place it in their everyday life.
Mrs. Kreglow observes her students thorough out the whole day and keeps notes using the ClassDojo app and sticky notes. The teacher asks questions through the class and sees and takes notes as to who raises their hands …show more content…

Behavior issues can interfere with the teaching that go on in the classroom and can lead to unnecessary time being taken away from teaching. There are already expectations on how children and teachers should behave in the whole elementary school. The teacher has a system set up in her classroom where if something inappropriate was said to take a sticky note off of her desk and to write what happened and put it by where the teacher is. When it comes to the teacher’s attention she calls the people who were involved and asks what happened, what should have happened in that situation, and how can we make that situation better now. One student wrote that someone called them dumb, so Kreglow brought the two students back and said so what happened in this situation and the student explained that she would not leave us alone, so I eventually called her dumb. The two explained how they felt and the teacher modeled what should have been done rather than calling her a mean …show more content…

While I observed the classroom, the teacher was doing small group time, so she was with the students in the back reading, and the teachers focus is on the children she is working with, while the rest of the classroom were doing their group and partner work. Yet, the children were loud and unfocused, and this is where most situations would arise with children. I would manage the class behavior by setting up a timer and saying they have to finish a certain amount of work or book by when the time is up. In conclusion, observing this classroom was a great experience being able to see the different strategies, management and teaching styles a teacher varies from one another. It is important to view different strategies and styles to be able to figure out what your own is. By working with different students and seeing how they learn, if they learn better one way or

For the purpose of this project I will be looking at some of the influences that can impact on children’s social and emotional development as they move through childhood. These can often have a great impact on a child’s learning and ability to make successful transitions at key points in their lives. Difficulties often become apparent within the structured institutions such as schools where large cohorts are expected by society to conform to a certain acceptability of behaviour.

    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

    In the short story “Gryphon”, by Charles Baxter, Ms. Ferenczi’s presence in the classroom is beneficial to the students of Five Oaks since she has led the students to be disciplined, discuss amongst each other, and question/research information.

Later on in the story, Ms. Ferenczi’s is introduced to the classroom, and nobody tries to joke around or pick on her.

  • In Mrs. Pollard's Classroom

    1894 Words  | 8 Pages

    Pollard’s classroom, there were many different rules and styles of class management. When it comes to entering and exiting the classroom, Mrs. Pollard greets the students outside the room and then she plays either a hello song on the piano or a recorded song of a stylistic genre of music. When the students exit the room, she has them line up at the door and then picks a superstar of the day and that student gets to write his or her name on the superstar white board. When they go to the Orff instruments Mrs. Pollard calls people in order to go to the instruments and tells them to go around the instruments and not step over them. I assume she calls them to a certain instrument so they can play a different instrument each time and sit next to someone else because they have a seating chart on the floor.

    She did not simply tell the student what was wrong or the correct answer when they were wrong, she simply just said that is not the correct answer try again. This taught the students that the correct answer will not always be given to them right away, that they must work until they get it themselves. This is a good example of enculturation in the classroom. The students are learning from the repetition of correcting the problem. The lesson from this repetition strategy is that the more you are engaged within a culture, the more you will start to pick up norms from the

  • Classroom Management Case Study

    Classroom management is a term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students. It also implies the prevention of disruptive behavior. It is one of the most difficult tasks or aspect of teaching for many teachers. This single skill has heavily contributed to teacher stress and burnout (Gordon, 2002, Jepson & Forrest, 2006), overall teacher efficacy(Caprarait al., 2003; Edwards it al., 2002), students achievement and teacher performance in the classroom (Edwards it al. ,2002; Milner, 2002; Pavlov, 2007), and has commonly been a major concern of principals regarding new teachers (Principal Perspective, 2004; Williams).
