How the teacher
observation relates to the book notes
most important
parts of the data for the focus.
Prerequisites of effective teaching
- he has plenty of background of teaching.
- he teaches second grade.
- I will know more about this when he gets back to
me with the interview.
Teacher as a person
- He shows a positive relationship with the
students. Willing to help them.
- he cares about his students.
- he listens to what his students have to say.
- he gives the students feedback on what he
knows. He relays information to the
students to help them.
- he makes comments to the students. He jokes around with them but not too much to
be their “friend”
- the teacher respects each student. He does not say anything that is offensive.
- the students share stories about their personal
life. The teacher makes it okay for students to share stories that are related
to their life. That what helps them see
the connection.
- the teacher knows each student’s name and knows
what each student is capable of.
- the teacher knows each students likes and dislikes
based on their conversations between them. He will make a joke about something
they don’t like to do if they are not listening.
- His classroom is very supported by all of the
students. The students respect each other-
they do not say anything nasty to each other.
- he treats every student fairly based on the
lesson he did. He had different students
answer the questions he asked and not called on the same person twice.
- the teacher offers plenty of opportunities to
participate in the lesson. The teacher asks a lot of questions during the
lesson.
- The teacher was interested in what the student
had to say.
- The teacher has an excellent sense of humor and
uses it with his students. He is also
willing to share jokes and make his students have fun in the class.
- He involves all of the students when doing
discussions. Even those who prefer not
to talk.
Classroom management
- The diagram of the classroom is on my notes.
- it looks like he plans each lesson.
- he makes the classroom atmosphere glad to learn
in.
- the students are always working on something so
it hard to misbehave.
- the teacher has the room the way he thinks is best for
instruction.
- he makes sure to tell the students the schedule
for each day (the students know what the schedule for the day is)
- he knows what students need more help than
others. He helps the students who need
extra help.
- I noticed that he uses numbers for his
students. So when a student needs to put
something away, they put it away in their cubby / mailbox.
The teacher uses numbers so he can keep track of the students
better. Each student has a bin where
their crayons, markers, pencils, etc. are so the student do not have to get up
every 5 minutes to get something. All of
their stuff has a number on it. This
also makes assigning things easier because the number of the student doesn’t change.
- The teacher has a table in the back (where I
sat) where he kept all of his worksheets. – easy access.
- The teacher reinforces good behavior. He has some sort of tickets that he gives the
students at the end of the day. (not
sure what they mean, it must be good though)
- I do not think he disciplines the class as a
whole.
