Recommended: Essay on classroom management

The artifact (video of our class field trip to the McComb Market) is used to demonstrate the knowledge I gained in the areas of learning environment demands, classroom management, and social skills for students with severe learning disabilities. This artifact shows how I effectively taught the children the skill of generating a shopping list, using question and answer strategies, how to locate the items on the shopping list at the grocery store (asking students questions: what are some of the healthy items on our list? What do we need to help us stay well and not get sick? Etc.), and how to pay for those items (showing students how to place items on the counter and how to pay for items). The students were able to answer simple “WH” questions before our field trip (generating the grocery list – answering questions …show more content…

Learning environments can be very demanding and chaotic at times (ICC5K1). When watching the video, as we shop at the grocery store, there are other people shopping and other distractions that take place which makes it a demanding and chaotic environment at times (see video at time frame 4:35). In order to ensure that every child is learning the educator must be prepared to be flexible due to unforeseen issues and/or problems that take place in the self-contained classroom setting (i.e., student having seizure, other medical issues, etc.), as well as other learning environments. This is an important skill that I had to learn. I had to learn how to be flexible and go with the flow when issues occurred that were out of my control, and out of the control of the child as well. This is key in using classroom management strategies and theories when working with individuals with exceptionalities

  • Review: How Difficult Can This Be By Richard D. Lavoie

    2075 Words  | 5 Pages

    Lavoie’s workshop provokes an emotional response. After viewing life through the eyes of a child with special needs, I cannot help but have a more significant understanding of what people, especially children with disabilities, must deal with every day, everywhere. During the many years that I have worked with children with various disabilities, I have encountered each of the topics discussed in Lavoie’s workshop and agree with the points he makes regarding children with disabilities. Particularly impacting the way I interact with my students are the topics concerning: anxiety, reading comprehension, and fairness.

    Help students increase their perception of control over their environment by showing them how to better manage their own stress levels. Instead of telling students to act differently, take the time to teach them how to act differently. By introducing conflict resolution skills, teaching anger and frustration management, helping student set goals, role-modeling, teaching and exemplifying social skills, as a teacher I can have a huge impact on these children and could help buffer the effects of their habitus, cultural capital, SES, and step in to help stop the cultural reproduction of social inequality in my classroom. Ultimately, I want my students to benefit from the hidden curriculum in my classroom, and I would work hard to ensure that the unwritten, unofficial, and often-unintended lessons, values, and perspectives I expose my children to are beneficial and positive in shaping their

    The structure in a classroom requires a child to be attentive and adapt to the situation presented. This can be frustrating for an A.D.D. child, but it is a necessary life skill that needs to be developed and will be helpful for the child to succeed as an adult. A class room setting tends to be a little chaotic and loud at times in contrast with the quiet calm environment of the home with one to one attention. Through my experience with home schooling my son found the l...

    Another perspective that I have regarding students with disabilities is that they do not need to be rushed to answer or respond to a question. They need to be provided with ample time to respond, so that they can think without just blurting out something. Providing ample time for them to respond will also make them feel more comfortable about being in a classroom surround by other students, who may learn differently. Allow students to use their thinking caps. The students in this video did not even have time to be creative. It was like the teacher asked one question after another. The style and rate at which the class was being taught was like at the AP or Pre AP level, which even those classes should not be taught like this. The speed or rate was hasty. I like the examples and comparisons that the instructor gave of students. I have never considered evaluating a class in that manner, but I will moving forward. This will definitely help with students’ comprehension levels and my ability to teach all students, regardless of how they learn. The teacher explained the difference between the channels in which a student’s brain functions as far as a student that may be easily distracted and a student that may have a short attention span. He explained the breakdown of how the function. The explanation is listed

It was my pleasure observing her and getting to know her. She is a very sweet outgoing girl that doesn’t let her disability get to her. I observed and assisted Allie throughout her days at preschool.

    There are many “tools” that could be considered for a student who has trouble listening and understanding instructions. Sometimes, just an adjustment of where the child sits fixes the problem or eliminates the barrier. Other times, assistive technology is needed. Today, the options for assistive technology are endless. In Samanthas case there were many options of assistive technology I could provide her with to help her be successful in the classroom.

  • College Admissions Essay: My Contribution to Disability Awareness

    It's 8 o'clock in the morning and the corridors of Mill Road Elementary are busier than Grand Central Station. The only difference is that Mill Road students are about a foot shorter and ten times more energetic than your average Grand Central Station commuter. In comparison with the dorm room I have just left, these walls are papered with hundreds of drawings and paintings. The hallways could compete with any modern gallery in terms of sheer bulk and some critics might argue for their content as well. However, I did not wake up at 7 o'clock to view the Mill Road Elementary prized art collection. Instead, I am there to present the 3-step Disabilities Awareness program to several classes of supercharged fifth graders.

    The classroom is a diverse place where learners from all different genres of life meet. Included in these learners are those that display learning disabilities. According to the British Columbia School Superintendent’s Association, ‘learning disabilities refer to a number of conditions that might affect the acquisition, organization, retention, understanding or use of verbal or nonverbal information. These disorders affect learning in individuals who otherwise demonstrate at least average abilities essential for thinking and/or reasoning’. They also posit that ‘learning disabilities result from impairments in one or more processes related to perceiving, thinking, remembering or learning. These include, but are not limited to language processing,

  • Essay On Behavioral Intervention Plan

    1170 Words  | 3 Pages

    At times it may be possible to modify the environment of the student by implementing preventive strategies. Some examples of these are teachers stating clear expectations, modifying seating arrangements, adapting the pace of instruction, avoiding exposing the student to long delays, providing a choice of activities, and allowing the student to take breaks. There are three types of alternative skill instruction. Replacement skills or behaviors must serve the exact same function as the problem behavior. More general skills alter the problem situations and help prevent the need for the problem behavior. These skills may include academic instruction if academic deficits are the main reason the student has behavioral issues. Coping and tolerance skills such as anger management are things the student learns to do when he or she is faced with difficult situations. Replacement Behaviors must serve the same function and have meaning for the student. It is important that the behavior be something the student is capable of doing and be socially acceptable in the context. The behavior must be immediately effective and tolerable to the

  • Students with Learning Disabilities and the Inclusive Classroom

    2756 Words  | 6 Pages

    All teachers dream of the classroom filled with fifteen tranquil, enthusiastic students, all with their note books out and pencils prompt for note taking. This is the classroom where everyone works together, at the same pace, and without any interruptions or distractions. This is the ideal classroom setting. The only problem with this picture is that it does not exist. Students are all different. Kids all learn different ways, and at varying paces. Both Physical and Learning Disabilities can hinder a child’s learning speed and hold them back from the rest of the class. It can be very difficult to identify a child with a learning disability because students can often be misunderstood and labeled as unmotivated and lazy. These students are often ignored and not given enough individual attention, and therefore they experience difficulty and frustration all throughout their education. Teaching students with learning disabilities takes a knowledgeable and understanding teacher and often requires adaptation of the curriculum. The education of these students often needs so much “constant attention and fine tuning if they are to succeed,” (Mather, 3) that they hold the rest of the class back. It is these cases that students should seek an adaptive classroom program and individual attention to work on their problematic areas. The bottom line is these students cannot be allowed to fall through the cracks of our educational system. They need positive reinforcement and individual attention so that they are confident in class and productive when they do their work.

    During the semester, we read an Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks and met blind people as well as numerous remarkable people diagnosed with autism, Tourette’s Syndrome, and frontal lobe damage. Although some of them have done well, we can probably all agree that they’re exceptions and that much more can be done to fully integrate disabled people into everyday life. All of these disabled people show us that even if one is disabled they can still reach their goal in life. In this paper I will be writing about Classroom education for one with a disability.
