General effective teaching strategies where used in the classroom I observed by the teacher demonstrating fairness to all student in her classroom. When the first homework assignment went out all students had a chance to do it in the classroom with the teacher or myself. The teacher than provided a letter that was put into the homework binders for the students to take home and whoever does homework with the student could read over the directions and know how to help their child with the homework. Each student knew how to do it from doing it in class with the teacher or myself and could help their parent out if they did not understand …show more content…

Classroom management in the classroom I observed was amazing. The teacher created a wheel that had numbers and the students all know their number by the teacher assigning them at the beginning of the year. The wheel had many jobs that helped students be part of the classroom community to run smoothly. Every week the teacher rotates the wheel giving students a different job for the new week. I was able to observe students check the room for garbage off the floor, that was the inspectors job, a student does attendance, a different student do lunch count, a different student does pledge of allegiance, a different student ring a be a chime ringer, a different student was able to be the substitute if someone was absent, and many other jobs so that every student had something to do. As well as the classroom job, students were assigned table jobs. The teacher had five different jobs listed on a wall and their description and under the descriptions was a student’s name from every table. The students were able to help their table mates with the job they had that week, and that rotated weekly like the classroom jobs. Students were excited to be part of a classroom, as well as their small table groups. As the students learn the different jobs of the classroom and their tables transition times will decrease and learning time will increase. This is effective for maximum learning for the

    Some of the personal stories that Mooney recounted made me very sad, and it was hard to believe that there were and continue to be some teachers that are just so ignorant, impatient, and unaware of what is going on with their student(s). Some great teaching strategies that can be implemented in the classroom to help students be more successful are developing a reward system for good behavior, organizing breaks between major tasks, and using auditory and visual signals. Reward systems is an excellent strategy to implement in the classroom to help students remain on task, participate in class, and behave appropriately. Breaks between major tasks help students to take mental breaks and refocus for the next big assignment. Auditory and visual signals are a great classroom strategy to help students recognize when it is time to move from one activity to the

  • Vygotsky's Views Of Cooperative Education In The Classroom

    Without classroom management the classroom has no guidelines. The students in the class have no idea what is right or wrong and this is a reason why classroom management is important. When my students enter my classroom on their first day the first thing we will talk about is my classroom rules. The rules will be short and simple and posted somewhere near the board so they can always refer back to them. Having rules will keep my classroom managed throughout the year. Additionally, I will also have a classroom management plan written up before the first day of school starts. In this management plan I will list ways I will prevent problems from happening in my classroom, for example, I plan to do a group activity daily, regulate learning activities, and provide a discipline plan. This will help to manage the class as a

    “Educational practice is necessarily based on the assumption that students are willing to engage in educational activities that they will lend their cooperation and support to the process in their education. Students who do not offer such cooperation, who are unmotivated, present significant challenges” (Williams and Ivey, 2001, 75). High school school-children show the most trouble with cooperation and motivation; they only have a few more years of schooling and for some pupils that is the end of their education. That was one of the main reasons why I wanted to observe a high school classroom; the other main reason is because I have actually considered teaching high school grades. I observed Ms. Edith Stone and her Algebra II mathematics classroom.

  • My Philosophy of Classroom Management

    My philosophy of classroom management is that the management of elementary classrooms require several things.  Among patience, determination and motivation are: flexibility, careful planning and consistency.  A well-managed classroom did not get well-managed without a teacher who planned, had a flexible vision and was determined.  Any new teacher, who is asked, will say they want a classroom with as few behavioral problems as possible as well as one that is easily manageable.  But any experienced teacher, who is asked, will tell those new teachers that classrooms do not come "well managed".  They have to be made into well-managed classrooms.  These experienced teachers would also encourage by saying that it is not easy, but that it is not impossible to have a manageable classrooms.  On the other hand, they would be quick to add that all classrooms will have behavioral problems at some point or another.  This is proven to be true to anyone who has been in an elementary classroom, whether they were a teacher, observer or a student themselves.  But what teachers can take to comfort is that they can prepare themselves.  The first thing that is needed is flexibility.  Being able to evolve with changing needs is something teachers need to acquire quickly.  Adaptability can make or break classroom climate.  A teacher who is not flexible and wants things one way, will find themselves in a power struggle that will be hard to reverse.  Also, the negativity will build up and make teaching unpleasant for the teacher and learning unpleasant for the students.  Being able to "go with the flow" will help teachers tremendously.  The second thing needed for classroom management is careful planning.  Now this d...

    ... lunch room, distributing materials, carrying messages to office etc. These tasks can be assigned to different students every week. Effective teachers make sure that every student has a job so that they feel responsible. These activities can also be used to reward improved behavior (Evertson, Emmer, and Worsham, 2006). Jones describes routines as operational rules. Jones says, “Operational rules must be specified to provide for smooth operations, which include materials to use, when to sharpen pencils, get a drink, go to the bathroom, how to get help and how the class is dismissed” (Allen, 1998). An effective way of establishing routines would be considering each and every minute detail of classroom activities. Children should know the importance of rules and routines in the classroom and it is a teacher’s responsibility to teach them (Canter &Canter, 1992).

    The school that I visited was new. It was the first year of the school opening. The school board had combined two schools into one, so the students had to adjust to their new environments and new individuals. They seemed to be getting along well with each other. Since the school is new the teacher has to adjust to new problems that araise. Times for the subjects and times for using the computer labs change. So the teacher must always be fixable for anything. In this observation of this classroom I learned about the enjoyment of teaching. How you have to adapt to each of the students.

    The students that I observed in the classroom were of middle to high school. I went to see 8th, freshman, 10th , and seniors classes, they seemed excited and very curious to why I was there. The middle school was more alive and rambunctious while I observed them. The High school kids were more relaxed, more comical. Some were paying attention while others seemed tuned out to the lecture or involved in socialization with friends within the class. By the end of the class Mr. Hasgil had restored the attention of everyone by using tactics such as history jeopardy with candy as the prize with the high school kids. In both he middle school and high school the kids were mostly Caucasian with a mixture of black, Asian , and Hispanic in the classes.
