2.2 junior high observation

 INTRODUCTION

This blog includes my two junior high class observations. I did a 7th grade English class and a 7th grade math class for my observations. 

JUNIOR HIGH OBSERVATION 1 

My first junior high observation I did Mrs. Johnson’s 7th grade English class. At the start of this class the students were instructed to immediately get on IXL to finish up their assignments. They had 10-15 minutes to finish them up and then they moved on to listening and reading their story for that time being of the class. They started with reviewing what they had last read the class pior. They spent the remainder of the class ready the book and discussing the story. 

JUNIOR HIGH OBSERVATION 2 

My second junior high observation I did Mrs. Fogle’s 7th grade math class. They started the class doing ALEKS lessons. After that they moved on to taking notes. They proceeded to take notes most of the class. Then they played two review games for a test they had coming up on Friday. 

THINGS I LEARNED 

7th graders have way more energy than I realized. 

CONCLUSION 

 In conclusion I feel like Mrs. Johnson's class ran smoothly. In my opinion it was because of the detailed instruction she gave prior to each of the student tasks. If I choose to work in a school setting this will be something I use in my classroom. 

2.1 High School Observations

Introduction

These last two weeks in my education class we got the privilege to go and observe 2 high school teachers to get experience for our future.

High School Observation 1 : Coach Dentons Lab Room

• He has a very decorated room for student to have a better

understanding of their work / learning.

• He was very interactive with his students and with me, as I

observed his class.

High School Observation 2 : Mrs. Marks Cozy English Room

• She kept her room at a dim to help with focusing on their work instead a bright light in their eyes

• She was very helpful with her students and helped them with things they didn't understand, present, and read.

Something You Learned : My greatest takeaway is that there are many different learning / teaching techniques and it all depends on what the students need; with how it helps them do better.

Conclusion

In this experience I got to learn many of things to help benefit me

in the future. I am also very grateful for this opportunity.
