Field Experience in Elem. School - 1305 Words

Osmara Alvarez EE4070 Summer 2013 Observation Summary Report 1 I have conducted my field of experience at Westside Elementary School, second and third grade classroom. The third grade class consists of 20 students. The teacher does not have any aide even though she needs some assistance, because two of her students are falling behind. The sad part about this is that the students have not being diagnosed yet, but they are having a lot of difficulties. The teacher mentioned that by fourth or fifth grade those two students will need to be placed in a special education classroom. The students both have a concentration problem and it causes them to struggle with reading, writing, math, listening, and speaking. The teacher asked me to†¦show more content†¦Mrs. Fricke is willing to help them and paid close attention into what they are doing. She is very patience and tries to help them by creating new and specific strategies just for the both of them. For instance, she sets the stage for learning by telling childre n why the material is important, what the learning goals are, and what the expectations are for quality performance. I noticed that she used specific language. Instead of saying, do quality works, she stated the specific expectations. While Mrs. Fricke has high expectations for everybody in the class including Mark and Sebastian, Mrs. Bellamy in the other hand just kept the students quiet. The students did not have the chance to ask anything because if they did Mrs. Bellamy will yell at them. I truly do not think it is a good idea to keep the students in such a boring environment where they can even ask a question. The teacher said that if I let misbehavior go on later on I will not be able to control it. However, I do think that raising your voice creates tension and ruins rapport. It also provides a poor model for your students by showing them the wrong way to behave when things do not go their way. Most important, it communicates to your students that you only mean what you say when you raise your voice. The students in my Fricke’s classroom seemed excited for participation. They all behaved very well, and raised their hand whenShow MoreRelatedJob Satisfaction, Work Attitude and Stress Tolerance of Public Elementary School Teachers3651 Words   |  15 Pagesteaching autonomy, and a safer, supportive school that promotes a positive atmosphere. However, according to the Mayo Clinic (2010), stress mounts when work is no longer satisfying. Lack of job satisfaction can be a significant source of daily stress. As stated by Black (2001), teachers’ stress is rising due to such factors as greater time constraints, low salaries, excessive work overloads, lack of involvement in decision – making and problems with school disciplines.
