Powerpoint Observation

When I completed this lesson I actually felt I should re-think my decision to become an educator. Mrs. Anderson makes this job look easy. I had prepared my science lesson plan Monday and scheduled to start a 3-day lesson on Wednesday. I tried to keep my lesson close to the basal/textbook. I feel as though the students responded positively. They were responsible in raising their hands to answer questions. I had a note to “slow down” in my notes. This helped me pace my lesson appropriately. I felt confident….and then I did not! HOWEVER, this time I did not speed up my speaking and rush through the lesson as quickly as possible. I added a few examples that were not on my plan with the hopes to explain matter to the students and I believe that helped one or two students. I felt, as a class, we stayed on topic the entire class. There were a

Review the PowerPoint presentation ("Program Evaluation--BPHI") for an example of a completed program design. Based on your review of the presentation and Chapter 2 of the textbook, discuss at least five different important program characteristics that must be considered when designing a program evaluation.

Yet there has been one issue which has been a thorn in our side this semester: communication. While we certainly are not isolated from each other, everyone seems to agree there is a problem which needs to be addressed. It is like we are all

I also realized that I needed to read more into classroom management. I noticed the teacher had withitness since she could conduct a reading group while watching and listening to the other 5 stations of students scattered across the room. She was able to read the book out loud to the class while noticing the students’ behavior such as a child who had put a rock in her mouth. The teacher calmly stopped reading and told the girl to spit the rock out and throw it away while exclaiming that rocks are not intended for our mouths or eating. Then she began to read again. I did not even see the rock from where I was

Conversations in class were a huge contributor to never getting anything done. Whether the conversation was about when our next food day would be or the outfit she was wearing, it was never important. These conversations did not encourage a positive learning environment and certainly did not reflect into our education well. Students should have liked her better considering that she acted like a friend to many of us. One of the things I hate most is when adults try to be friends with teenagers in inappropriate situations, such as at school where the adult should hold a higher standard of professionalism. There is a difference between having fun with students and losing all authority over them. She is lucky that any students listened to her towards the end of the year because most students would not have been mature enough to behave without a teacher disciplining them. She never threatened detention and she definitely did not give a reason to respect her. So, it actually seems like a miracle that the class was not complete chaos. It could have been much worse if we were not such respectful students. Ms. Fetterman should have been a role model as well as a teacher, and she failed at both tasks. Since she lost respect from her students they no longer put in effort towards her classwork, which ultimately lead to a decline in students’ performance in school. The only effort put into her class was fueled purely by that individual’s desire to learn, despite no motivation to do so from Ms.

He was a humble guy coming in and was very interactive with students. His traits helped him earn the respect of many students. Out of the eight questions we had to ask, I only brought up the strongest ones to ask him. The first question I had asked him was, "What were your teaching methods during your first semester of your career?” He responded saying, “I wanted to make it enjoyable and relate the class subject to real life situations so students have an understanding of how important the topic is during my teaching points.” My second question was, “How did you approach your kids when they did not turn their work on time or when they were noisy during your lectures?” He said, “Students will be students mainly misbehave, because complications, and they probably won’t even do any classwork. However, as a teacher when dealing with a misbehaved student you have to take them outside and have a word with them or just not have them participate in any extracurricular activities”. The third question I asked was, “how did you interact with your students? Did you focus on strengths or weaknesses when speaking to them individually? He replied, “When interacting with students, I mainly place my mindset within their level. I don’t make it seem like I’m a higher individual with authority. I feel as if it creates a closer bond when you make them feel they’re confronted with someone similar to them. It is best

We have patiently, yet firmly, dealt with her about her behavior, and her presence created an immediate sense of frustration for some in the room. She, of course, sat just a few rows in front of our Professor.

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 type of audience that will be attending my presentation will be people in my particular age group. Also clients that might be interested in hearing the presentation. The particular information I will be providing and presenting to the particular audience will be, pitching my future self to the audience after my journey in graduating Full Sail University. After pitching information to the audience on my after life at full sail, and what I have managed to complete in a short amount of time. Convincing the audience that I'm a capable, forceful ,and dynamic presenter. Giving them the willpower that a woman , can have the willpower and strength to achieve anything in life, no matter what the obstacle is .

She was confused as to why we did not have our regular meeting prior to class. I was surprised by her inquiry since we all agreed upon a rescheduled meeting. I reminded her of our group’s decision but she believed there was an additional meeting on Thursday as well. She continued to question me as to why we did not attend for our assumed Thursday meeting. Her tone of voice subsequently became angry, as she directed her frustration towards me. I felt that she was blaming me for not only my absence, but also for the remaining members. It seemed unfair that she would only voice her concerns to me and did not question the other members who later arrived in the room. As a result of her actions, I found it difficult to remain calm when speaking to her. When she continued to raise her voice at me, I started to become irritated. I felt that she was treating me in a disrespectful manner. I raised my own voice in retaliation, which turned our conversation into an argument. Our increased volume became loud enough where it gained the attention of students in the class. I found it embarrassing for others to witness an altercation between a group member and myself. As a result, I lowered my voice in hopes to avoid greater attention. This helped end the argument a few seconds before the start of class. As the argument came to an end with this particular group member, I found myself reflecting on the incident. I was astonished with the

There was another short argument and another look of embarrassment afterwards, but soon things settled down at Churchill High School once more. It didn’t last. I guess my turn was next. Actually that wasn’t a

needs are met and they feel as if they are respected by the teacher. Mutual respect is once again

4. What conflicts did you observe in this classroom? What conflict resolution methods could you use to resolve the conflicts in this classroom? Are there any peer mediation methods that you could use in this scenario?

Mrs. Tijerina has a sturdy relationship built with her students. She has desire to see them succeed and flourish in the Spanish culture while mining high expectations. Mrs. Tijerina wants every single student to be involved or to give feedback. There was not a single student in the classroom that did not participate in discussion or did not have a chance to voice their opinion. Mrs. Tijerina treated every student with respect, and expected that she would be respected as well. If a student was talking out of hand, Mrs. Tijerina was capable to getting them to stop immediately. Since she has a strong desire for the students to excel, she predominantly speaks in
