Class 504 Reflection
The students were in groups of 4 and there was around 7 groups. They all started at their own desk, but every time they switch subjects they would pick up there stuff and move to a different group. They all knew exactly where they were suppose to go. This helps organize the classroom and makes students work with different students. It is important for them to work in different groups because it allows them to meet new students in there class. By them all knowing each other, it creates a healthy environment and allows the them to be more comfortable.
In the classroom, there was five students that were from classroom 504 because their teacher was absent and the school could not provide a substitute for the class. All five of the students had four packets that had to be done by the end of the day and they were obligated to teach themselves the content. I went up to Ms. Wilson and asked if I was allowed to sit at a table with them and help them work on their packets. She did not mind that I wanted to do that and allowed me to sit with them. There was one student in the group that finished the packets all by himself, but there was three students that had one page done because

There is a mix of females and males in the classroom, but during the class there was a never a time that she had just females work together and just males together or she never had just girls at a table and just boys at a table. She always was mixing them up and had them go with students that were around the same level as them. She does not give girls pink folders and boys blue folders, all the students just have the same color folders and they were yellow, red, or black. There was no gender specific resources for the students and they were all treated equally by Ms. Wilson in the

    Everyone was assigned specific tasks and kept up to date with each other’s roles in the class. This meant that everyone was aware of what everyone else was doing, so just in case on the day, or during the planning of the event someone was absent, we could fill their shoes relatively easily by stepping in for them.…

    In the essay, “How schools shortchange boys,” by Gerry Garibaldi, I agree on boys tuning out in a “newly feminized classroom.” Girls may out number boys in graduating from high school with a diploma, but boys give up on school, because they don’t want to be like girls. “Girls are calm and pleasant,” while boys are aggressive and are rationalists. Since girls just do what they are told and write what they need to, for example a project. While girls turn in their assignment days in advance, boys demand when they were given the assignment and act in a disruptive manner. A female teacher might take this as being disrespectful. The disapproval of a female teacher “has a powerful effect on male psyche.” Males squirm from the disapproval when they…

    One day on placement a child (child A) was upset because another child (child B) wouldn’t let her play with the trains too. Child A came to me crying and told me that Child B wouldn’t let her play with the trains, I went to find to find child B at the trains table and asked him if he said Child A couldn’t play with the trains. He said that he did because there wasn’t enough room for child A to play at the train table even though he was the only one person plating there. In turn I said child B there is enough room, 3 people can play here at a time and asked “what do we do at school with toys” he replied I don’t know, so I asked child A if she knew and could help child B, she said we share them. At this point the class teacher came over and asked if everything was alright. I explained the situation, She then asked child B if that was right and he said “Now, she wouldn’t let me play with the trains”. The teacher conversed with the children to try and get a clear picture of what had happened and then said to me that I could deal with child B’s behaviour in the way that we usually do. Child A went on to play with the trains and I took child B to one side went down to his level and explained to him that he needs to sit on the chair in the other room and think about what he had done and why you must tell the truth and why it is important to share toys. In 5 minutes I went back and asked if he had thought about what I asked him to he said yes and told me that school toys are for everyone and do not belong to him and that lying is a bad thing to do and gets you in trouble. I told him that was right and asked what he needs to do now. He said say sorry to child A. I let him go and apologise to child A and he then went on to share the trains…

    The students were encouraged to ask each other questions as well as add to and challenge the answers provided by others. I utilized this opportunity to move students, as I seen fit, when formulating these groups. This allowed me to unite the lower ability student with the higher ability student. I felt this coming together greater impacted on the overall development of the students social skills. It gave the lower ability student confidence to offer an answer up to the teacher for consideration knowing that what she is about to say is coherent, having came to its conclusion with another student. I praised the good that she attempted to do and tried to ignore what wrong she does, in the hope that praise becomes a goal and provided her with motivation for further appropriate behaviour and…

    The teacher sent us, Mark and Sebastian to work at a table in the back of the classroom. I think she did that so we would not interfere with the rest of the class. We worked on math and writing. We did not have any problems solving the math questions. Instead the students seemed to be happy that I could help them individually. Both Mark and Sebastian were quiet and respectful. Mark had concentration problems; for example, while we were doing the math assignment that he had from last week, he suddenly wanted to talk about his toys or any other thing but math. Sebastian on the other hand, was quiet and seemed like he has hearing problems.…

    There were no African Americans, and few Hispanics. Each child seemed relatively the same social status, and there was a very close ratio of girls to boys. With the classroom having a pretty close to equal amount of girls to boys in it, I think it balanced out the rowdy 1st grade boys to the calmer 1st grade girls. Though, I did not like the way she handled disciplining a child that acted out. Mrs. Collier has a disciplinary system that focuses on ramifications and rewards. She has a point system that can earn them rewards, but if they are bad she takes their points away and it can cause them to get a note written home to their parents about their behavior. Mrs. Collier would make a point to call the student out and embarrass them. At one point during their reading time, we were reading a book that had the theme of kids learning their lesson from their actions. She specifically called out one little girl in front of the whole class and pointed out a time when she messed up. Mrs. Collier told the whole class what her punishment was and said, “That’s why you should never do that class”. I thought it was very inappropriate, rude and embarrassing for the kids. It made me realize that I would never handle a situation like that when I become a…

    The lesson reviewed was “Sexism: From Identification to Activism,” a very proactive lesson that dug into the issue of sexism, and how the students lives where affected by the topic. The lesson begins by introducing a quote about sexism that goes over the forms in which it can be expressed. From there the lesson plan has the students begin to explore how sexism shapes language, the government, and behavior. The students are asked to share their beliefs on sexism and how it affects their lives via a handout provided by the teacher as well as classroom discussion. The teacher in this lesson plan needs to be prepared with examples to promote student discussion if there is a lack of participation. The lesson then goes into a different handout where the students are to discuss when they might choose to not speak out against sexism and when they could choose not to speak out. The lesson ends with what is needed to speak out and take action over sexism.…

    Mrs. Nappier talked to the student about how it is not nice to say things like that when someone is trying to read. While Mrs. Nappier was walking the girl back to her classroom, the third grade group came in. At first, I was unsure what to do. I have never worked with the third grade reading SIT group before. I am usually heading to help Mrs. Meyer as the third graders are coming into Mrs. Nappier’s room.…

    This was the biggest issue I had while attending UCD. Coming out of the STR program and deciding to complete the Master's program I found it difficult to navigate what was expected of us. This was because depending on who I spoke to the answers about what I needed to do were completely different. For example we were given a sheet with required classes to complete when we completed STR then when we started to take those classes we were told we were taking classes we didnt need to. Then when we began to do the culminating experience nobody could tell us exactly what was expected of us through this process and up until we started CLDE 5035 we were told we didnt have to complete the culminating experience. So my advice to the school on advising…

    Sexism In Classroom

    • 916 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Sexism is another stereotype that is created in the classroom that can have social and academic effects on individuals. Research shows that an oppressive classroom environment impairs learning and academic performance for students oppressed with identities (Pitman, 2010). Sexism in education occurs at an early age. While children of both sexes typically play together, as they get older they spend less and less time playing with children of the opposite sex. When students are lined up according to gender, teachers are stating that boys and girls should be treated differently. When different behaviors are acceptable for boys and not girls because boys will be boys, schools and administrators continue the oppression of girls. Teachers tend to associate girls as being feminine and are praised for being calm, neat, and quiet, whereas boys are encouraged to be self-thinkers, participate, and speak up. By the time students have completed 12 years of schooling, the achievement gap has widened. Females, who generally outperformed the males in their early school years, now trail on all subsections of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Testing Program Examination (ACT), with the greatest discrepancies surfacing in the math and science areas (Dauber,…

    This also gives the children the chance to help each other in the group because they would be at the same stages and most likely get caught out at the same sections. According to Vygotsky, “By letting students of similar but differing abilities work in groups, they can help each other: often a lot more effectively than a teacher would be able to.” (Urbano, 12/07/12, Scaffolding and Peer-learning: Thinking about Vygotsky’s “Zone of Proximal…

    When I first took this class I knew of sexism and the problems it takes on people and the same with racism and I never thought it about it in much detail. Thinking back on my life I realized how big a role sexism had on me without even knowing it, especially being a blonde, athletic girl. Just in those three descriptions of me there are many different stereotypes I was held too. Discrimination like these two are sneaky when you don’t recognize it, especially as kids. We aren’t born with these traits of sexism and racism we are taught and observe these in our everyday lives. My parents were big on “be and do whatever you want to do” but society had a different route for me, one that limits my abilities. This class has taught me many things to be aware of and below are just a few things I will take with me forever.…

    Once again, I was placed in Mrs.Metcalfe who teaches second grade at Bens Branch Elementary. Mrs.Metcalfe took attendance while the students waited patiently on the carpet. After she took attendance, she addressed that she had taken some privileges away from the students because the students did not picked up their mess after having centers and would not follow instructions that the teacher gave. She explained that centers might return for the upcoming school year if they behaved properly. After she addressed the issues of the students, she instructed everyone to go back to their desks and waited till they put their thumbs which meant that they were ready for the lesson of the day. Mrs.Metcalfe went up to the front of the class to use the projector and expected her students to follow what she was doing on their worksheets.…

    It is interesting to look at the history of gender differences in education to see how it has developed in order to gain greater understanding of the current situation. Boys and girls were taught together for the first time in the 1960s, with the development of new comprehensive schools. However, opportunities were not equal for both genders in society at this time, and these values were reflected in the school environment. For…
