This podcast was about systematic observation with Dr. Van De Mars from the University of Arizona State. At the university level how is the university preparing their students to become future teachers for classroom management? Dr. Van De Mars explained throughout the students different educational classes, methods classes, clinic ales and student teaching the students should develop classroom management skills. It is an important part of preparing to becoming a teacher. Practice opportunities in clinical before student teaching. How can a current teacher use systematic observation to improve their teaching. First by commingling familiar to what systematic observation is. How can systematic observation be used as an reflection tool for classroom management? It can provide information on what happened in the lesson, guide the teacher on what he or she would change or keep the same. Looking at how time is spent, how much time spent in game play vs. instruction, amount of time spent practicing vs. standing in line. To access systematic observation, read literature.

Systematic observation is a video analyses/ reflection tool, allows you to see what is going on in your classroom that you did not know existed. Two forms of systematic observation: time analysis which is interval coding, how much activity time, time spent giving instruction, warm up and lesson focus. Interaction form, how much interaction between male and female interaction, compare interaction with students based on race. Tools to implement systematic observation into your classroom: ask someone to video record you teaching, wireless mic that hooks up to camera, swivel (robotic mobile accessory) camera followed you around as you teach. Schools may have funds to provide equipment for observation. Dark fish easy tag app, analysis's skills and strategies that students use while playing a
The Week 4 assignments are addressed on how to use the observational tools in order to evaluate the development and create the activities that promote young children 's development. For example, assignment 4.3 Running Record is one of useful observational tools that educators can use. It requires sensitive observation and writing skills in order to collect detailed information. By using the running record, educator can use the data to evaluate the development of the child and create helpful activities that will help the development of the child.
The primary purpose of observational assessment is for refining teaching and improving ther learning, according to Allen & Cowdery, 2011. In that’s exacly what you can see in this assignment of mine, I use the information
In my observing on Tuesday, September 27, I studied my Geometry class from 8:21-9:08 and my Accounting 1 class from 12:21-1:08. In these observations, I looked for verbal feedback from my classmates, positive or negative nonverbal feedback from them, and how the teacher spoke to the audience. My Geometry class is my less-focused class, while my Accounting 1 class is very focused and eager to learn. In my Geometry class, there was a little verbal feedback, but not very enthusiastic or anxious.
Observational learning is used by and influences everyone, even when people do not mean to do so. This learning type being the way it is with how it affects people can be utilized and Eureka High School does this in a few different ways. Some of these ways include: Teachers showing a level of respect to students and student giving it in return, the choosing of leaders in school or clubs where others can model their behavior after them, showing the steps to do a problem or writing so a student can understand how and replicate it, and showing a student's paper or work in front of the class to enforce them and other students. As for Eureka High School using observational learning to their advantage the school could: make sure teachers do not have
Observation “When dealing with children there is greater need for observing than of probing.” Maria Montessori Observation of the environment, the children and our own practice and feelings is at the heart of reflective practice. Observation requires a particular mindset and skill set. Observation of children Essential competencies and personal attributes necessary to observe children effectively are presented. These will include empathy and love of children, being non-judgemental and inclusive, knowledge of child development and understanding of the social context of children.
For the second ten minute observation, I observed was during the teacher during circle time. They do a 20 minute circle every morning and the children love it. For this observation, I would give the teacher a rating of 5 for responding to social cues. During the circle time, she would ask questions and let the children talk. She would pick on kids with their hands up and allow them to speak and she would also pick on the kids that clearly wanted to talk, where either trying to talk without raising their hands.
Moreover, the student's ability to score high on the post-quiz and to pass their clinical, medical, surgical competency skill examination is indicative of the knowledge of my teaching strategy and
Observation is the tool that practitioners use to obtain the necessary information that helps them to plan effectively for each child. Observations are considered to be an important part while working with the children. There are number of reasons why recorded observations are required. To plan for individual children’s needs-
The first observation was conducted on August 30th at 9:00 a.m., while the student was participating in the special education resource room. The observation took place for a total of 25 minutes. For the duration of the observation the student was seated at a small table working one-on-one with the special education teacher. Along with the student being observed and the special education teacher, two other students, as well as, two paraprofessionals were in the special education resource room during the observation time. One student and paraprofessional were working one-on-one at a small table, while the other student was sitting in a bean bag chair reading a book.
Observation is therefore seen as being closely related to supervisory and evaluation; consequently, it is often regarded as a threatening experience. Williams (1989) summed some of the negatives of the traditional classroom observations: • The teachers did not. Like it. It was threatening, frightening, and regarded as an ordeal.
OVERVIEW The elementary school that I observed at, Orchard View Elementary, was located in Delray Beach, FL. The location was very accessible and right off of the highway. The teacher I got assigned to was Ms. Diann Johnson. She teaches a class for students in 3rd-5th grade.
Classroom Observations Mrs. Canada is the first grade teacher that I observed, and the subject that she was teaching was reading. She had planned well-organized power points and crafting materials in advance, so she was prepared for the lesson. The two times I observed, the lesson that was being taught at both times was reading. Children in the classroom used a lot of previous knowledge for the lesson.
INTRODUCTION For an educator to be successful at teaching their students, the teacher must be able to asses the individual students knowledge of a subject (Guskey, 2003, p6). The clinical interview is a useful tool for assessing a student’s individual knowledge, along with other aspects of the education process. An instructor who is conducting clinical interviews are will be able to recognize the students thought process and learning behaviors when it comes to solving a problem or explaining a process to complete a report (Ginsburg, 1997, p.147). Furthermore, the interview allows the instructor to recognize gaps in both the student’s knowledge and the instructors teaching methods.
Throughout my training, I implemented various strategies for engaging students in small groups and rigorous lessons. My role as a teacher is to communicate effectively, be respectful, and have self-worth and confidence. I did fear making wrong choices throughout this field experience. I set high expectations the students to achieve high goals. Teaching to me opened doors to many students’ lives.
I observed Mrs. Ruffs 4th grade class at Carlin Park Elementary on Friday, September 15th at 9:30am. The class consisted of 13 girls and 12 boys. While I watched the class, I focused in on trying to notice the difference between the two sexes. I observed that the girls can compete at this age level with the boys. The girls were almost if not as athletic as all the guys in the class.
