Recommended: What are the importance of teaching

In my opinion, pupil’s behaviour relates to the way they see their school. For example, if the school is modern and refreshing, generally pupils will respect the school and the people in it. In contrast, a school that is run down and old, pupils may think this is a reason to abuse the school and the not care much for it.

The school on my first placement (BP1) was built in the 60’s but has had recent modifications and new buildings built which have replaced some of the older ones, inside the classrooms they were well kept, walls were painted, classrooms had children’s work displayed and the school had sections outside where flowers grew and were maintained. The overall behaviour of this school was good and I was aware that these pupils respected their school.

Whilst doing research on my second placement (BP2) on the internet I found out that the school was around the same age and had around the same amount of pupils so I assumed it would be the same kind of school. On my first week there it was clear that the school has not changed or adapted since it was built. The quads were overgrown with benches that were rotten, classrooms have asbestos in the walls so displayed work was limited to certain areas and some classrooms were shut off completely due to leaks in the roof. The overall behaviour in this school is as good as the last school I spoke about, but there have been instances since I have been there where pupils have smashed windows on a number of occasions and run riot at break times. As well as this there is also a litter problem which the school are trying to tackle. This suggests to me that the pupils have no respect for the school that they are in and think they can misbehave.

BP2 is having a new school built th...

...espect in the classroom, Class B enter the room quietly, take any non-uniform clothing off straight away and are sat waiting for either me or Mr.A to take the register and set them their task. Class A on the other hand are boisterous, loud, still have their coats on 15 minutes into registration, have to be told several times to take them off and generally don’t listen to the teacher at all.

Going back to the quote from Sir Alan Steer I agree with what he is saying as I have seen first hand proof of the positivity that come out of SEAL.

The importance of identifying pupils with behaviour and learning difficulties

    In conclusion, my first impression was wrong, the classroom was not some kind of battlefield of teacher and student casualties. The students were not a lost cause that I imagine them to be. The students were well mannered and just wanted to be treated with respect. The classroom management was impeccable and astounding. It goes to show that although you may think you know a group of students you can be very mistaken.

  • Early Childhood Classroom Observation

    I completed my final observation on October 15 at the UTC Children’s Center at Battle Academy. When I arrived to my classroom, the students were on a field trip so I quickly went down to the fire hall on Main Street to meet up with the class. At the fire hall, parents, as well as the two teachers accompanied the students. The students arrived back in their classroom around 11:10, and that is when the parents left. After the field trip the children ate lunch in the cafeteria, had a brief lesson in the classroom, and played outside. The class I observed was preschool, with most children around 3 to 4 years old. All the children seemed to be developing normally. There were 7 boys and 3 girls present in the classroom.

    In light of my School Experience (SE), I will be analysing, discussing and evaluating an aspect of classroom practice. The practice that I have chosen is ‘Behaviour Management’. Behaviour management plays a key role within the classroom and there are a number of techniques used by teachers on a day to day basis. I will look at these techniques in detail, analysing and evaluating them with the work of behaviour management authors and also taking into account my SE observations.

    I am an after school counselor and my duties are: to help the children with their homework, engage them in the enrichment programs, and take them to recess and dinner. The school itself is brand new, it was rebuilt a few years ago. The outside of the school is pretty, but there isn’t much of a school, only two relatively small playgrounds with no swings and is mainly concrete. The classrooms are extremely bare as compared to the first grade classroom I observed, no children’s work is shown anywhere, and there are no decorations what so ever except for a poster that has a list of rules. The academics of the school is what is the main difference between the two schools I have observed. The grade I am responsible for is third-grade and working with them has expanded my perspective and let me see a different side of the education system. At least four out of the twelve children I had, were unable to read at all, and the rest of the children had a hard time processing the material. They do not know their multiplication tables, and sometimes do not even know the difference between addition and subtraction. Only two out of the twelve children I had were actually on the third grade level. Listening to the children, I found out most of their families consist of single mothers that are young and work at least two

    When moving through the hallways, the teachers, aides and staff were all very friendly and helpful, making sure that I not only belonged to be there, but that I was able to find my way to the appropriate locations. Art lined the halls, and the sounds from the classrooms indicated that the children were exicited and engaged in their activies. I would feel most comfortable having children attend this school. It was a warm, safe and nurturing environment, where the individual was celebrated, and the community created.

  • Reflection On Teaching Practice

    Teachers face with a lot of daily choice problems, such as, how classrooms and curriculums should be organized, how students' behaviors should be interpreted, how learning time can be protected, and others. Sometimes these problems seem to be so ordinary that, teacher need to solve the problem automatically. But in the teaching process there are also complicated choices about difficult problems that, if left unaddressed, often increasing. These difficult choices call for teachers to engage in sophisticated reflection (including self-reflection).

    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.
