Classroom Observation In KIPP
During this quarter, I got an opportunity to become a math tutor for 7th grade students at KIPP Adelante Preparatory Academy. This middle school is located at downtown San Diego, it is opposite to a superior court where always have few polices walk around this area and enclosed few apartments which is a pretty safe and quiet area. I found that it is rarely to see a white people in KIPP; Although most of the students in KIPP are from low income family, I felt like I was always energetic when I entered KIPP since most of the students are always happy, active and brisk. The classrooms in KIPP are conducive to learning because there have lots of test paper with 90 scores or up pasted around the wall, and also lots of posters about math too. Each

    Janice Heron Research Paper

    Janice Heron is the teacher who has the honor of teaching a “golden mean” this year. Janice Heron refers to her class as the “golden mean” due to the fact that her students in this years class consisted of low, middle, and high socioeconomic statuses. This classroom was also made up of an equal percentage of hispanic, white, and black students (Silverman, Welty, & Lyon, 1996, p.125). Throughout her eighteen years of experience with teaching, Janice Heron has had the opportunity of working with students of all socioeconomic statuses and races prior to this year. However, this year, Janice Heron is having a particularly difficult time with four low-achieving students who are in her classroom. These four students include three hispanic boys and…

    The Pros And Cons Of Our Independent Study Charter School

    Many of the students enrolled in our independent study charter school come from a low socioeconomic background and are academic underperformers, especially in mathematics. Most students lack the time and resources to be able to attend school multiple days a week or to spend extra time working with their teachers to improve their lagging mathematics scores. At the same time, many teachers are asked to deliver classroom instruction on mathematics topics that they likely have no specific training or credential in. In addition, these teachers often only have a very limited amount of time to work with each individual student before they must move onto the next. These obstacles make it more difficult for these students to complete the required course load.…

    101 FINAL

    In 1974 times were hard let for anyone let alone a Bolivian immigrant, but Jaime Escalante took a job at one of the worst, most poverty stricken violent schools in East Los Angeles, “Garfield High School”. What started out as a computer class teacher ended up being instructor of a Math class due to the lack of funding for computers and other educational aids that would enable students to learn better. Garfield High’s reputation was less than scholarly and the students took pride in being rebellious and street wise. These students were less than enthusiastic about learning anything that didn’t consist of violence, drugs or being street wise, but their new teacher had the “Gadas” or desire to educate these students that many had given up on. The majority of these students were of Hispanic background, as was Escalante so this was a foundation he felt he could start building a class and relationship on. Gaining the trust of this group of per say “bad kids was also a huge factor where accepting the new teacher was concerned, kids like these were not used to anyone caring about them, let alone have faith in them and encouraging them that once applying themselves they could succeed , if only it had been that easy…Teaching was something Jaime Escalante was familiar with as both his parents were educators in Bolivia, although becoming an educator with Garfield High School was quite a challenge at…

    Multi-Tiered Support System Plan

    The learners in this component are 7th grade math students. There are 27 students between the ages of 12 and 13. Fifteen of the students are performing on grade level, as measured by i-Ready diagnostic testing. The remaining students are performing one or more grade levels below. I provide in-class support to this class. I am assigned to this class because of the diverse needs of the students. Five of the students have learning disabilities in math and/or reading, but are performing high enough not to require Inclusion support from a certified Special Education teacher. Two other students are on Multi-Tiered Support System plans, because of their learning gaps. My goal is to fill those gaps, increase their confidence, and help them grow academically.…

    Hermosa Middle School Observation Report

    I have had the opportunity to go to two middle schools due to moving locations. This paper is going to be based on my experiences at Hermosa Middle School in Farmington, New Mexico. Since, this where I started caring more about my education and I can relate more to this placement. To begin with, Hermosa Middle School serves grade from 6th-8th. The demographic in this school is about 42% Caucasian, 31% Hispanic, 23% Native-American, 2% Asian, and 2% African-American. Notice, that there is a high population of Hispanics, I believe that this is why I started to be more involve at school. Prior to moving to Farmington, New Mexico; I lived and attended a junior high school in Huntington, Utah where 5% were Hispanic. I can honestly state, “That Hermosa Middle School is a contemporary developmentally responsive middle schools”. I quote this because I can point out the differences between what both schools had offered me as a student.…

    Examples Of Classroom Observation

    For my classroom observation, I chose to observe two classrooms with teachers I do not work with at my current job Bobbie Smith Elementary in Long Beach, CA. My area of interest is elementary, I chose to observe a Kindergarten and Second grade classroom. Although I prefer to teach a Kindergarten class and not go over the Second grade, I know that teachers never get a pick of what grades you teach sometimes. So I am glad that I am able to gain experience in each grade level.…

    7th Grade Social Studies Class Observation

    During my observation at Oak Park Middle, I observed a 7th grade Social Studies class. Most children n the classes I observed had African-American students. Two classes had to Hispanic girls. There was 31 boys and 13 girls all together in the three hours of classes I observed. The boys always greatly outnumbered the girls in the classes. I believe the students all came from similar socioeconomic background. The teacher was an African-American male. He had great control over his classroom and was able to connect with the children. He had a bellringer for them the first day I observed. The first and third class were quite rowdy when they came in and the teacher had to make them sit down and start their assignment. The second class was much more focused and sat down to their work with barely any instruction. The second observation I did, the students had to do a free write activity. The teacher was always helpful and explained the assignment thoroughly to the students before they started.…

    Personal Statement: Why I Want To Teach For A High Need School

    I especially helped students who were struggling and having difficulties of following procedures of solving problems. However from all my tutoring experience I observed that these students all have a sense of curiosity and a desire to learn. I strongly believe that I can nurture these students’ interests to flourish with my passion, dedication, perseverance, and love of teaching especially to these at risk students. As a teacher, not only would I like to care for my student’s intellectual growth, but I also would like to demonstrate concern for their personal and emotional needs by advising them to their best interests. I also want to make myself available to my students, both inside and outside of class by creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Teaching in high need schools can be demanding and intimidating for many individuals, however with my love of teaching and with the help of future professional developmental skills that I am looking forward to learn from your program, these attributes will challenge me to improve my desire to be a great teacher. This will be a great opportunity for me to share my profession, knowledge, outstanding skills, talents and love for teaching that I have for at risk…

    J. B. Hunt Elementary Classroom Observation

    I observed Mrs. Collier’s first grade class at J.B. Hunt elementary on Thursday September 13, 2015. The classroom had a great climate and was decorated nicely. She had bright posters hanging on the wall as well as many colorful boxes, curtains, and chairs around the room. The desks were set up in one giant “U” with Mrs. Collier sitting in the middle. It was a great set up for the kids because they could easily see her and she could easily see them. The dynamics in the classroom seemed great because she connected well with each student and was interested in what they had to say. The students behavior seemed very respectful towards her and they listened when she asked them to do something. Mrs. Collier’s equity between her and her students was…
