Lafayette School Observation Report
My vision for Lafayette Schools is to make this an "A" district. In keeping with that vision, we plan to offer numerous academic courses and activities that will challenge our students and broaden their horizons. I am proud of the accomplishments at Lafayette Schools.

These activities may have occurred in our classrooms, our choir room, our band hall, our gyms, or on our playing fields, but they did not occur due to complacency and satisfaction with the status quo. Our schools are what they are because of the dedicated men and women who share a common goal to do what is best for students. We're always looking for ways to achieve that goal.

This year, as in the past, we're concentration on the processes that promote student learning. At Lafayette,

    Our last observation this semester was with Rachel Pollard at Hartwood Elementary School. This school includes grades K-5. Mrs. Pollard is in a very unique situation, because she sees each of her classes for forty minutes twice a week. Since she has twice as much time with her students as compared to most other music teachers, her students are able to advance quickly with their musical skills. This benefit was very obvious through my observations. Mrs. Pollard’s lessons were well thought-out and she had clear objectives in mind for each activity. Everything she did served a purpose, including singing a song to move the students into a new seating arrangement and her “point checks” at the beginning of class.…

    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.…

    In America, a child normally goes through at least twelve years of public school to be prepared and knowledgeable for college and the real world. However, a question about the schools is being raised –– are students truly learning in the education system? The system seems to be straying from its purpose. Nowadays, students aren’t enjoying the journey to learn and only goes through the motions of being a student. This takes away from them by not having in-depth learning, making them not as prepared and not as ready to master new challenges as they should be. To allow students to have true, deep learning, schools should grant students time to explore passions, lessen competition between peers, and give opportunities to experiment to find best…

    Schools are places where students go and learn. I believe that the administrators and teachers help to determine the type of school that it will be. For instance, this student that states I was always getting in trouble for reading in school might feel that reading is something that can get him in trouble. As adults we are the ones who place the rules and teach children what is acceptable and unacceptable. According to Myles (1990) “everything comes out of the past and goes beyond” which helps shape who we are today (p. 7). As educators we are the ones that are creating a safe, fund, and healthy learning environment that promotes students development. However, I believe that if students…

    In this webinar, the speaker, Dru Tomlin, discusses the characteristics to make a great school. These characteristics are what are needed by the teachers, administrators, students, and parents to come together to create a safe, good environment for learning. He discusses the curriculum, instruction, assessment, leadership, organization, culture, and community and breaks them down to further define them. In every heading, he says what we will accept and expect while we are building. In every heading, when asked this, he mentions sharing, asking, and listening. If it is mentioned in every heading, it shows how important this is since it is repeated. In the webinar, Tomlin also mentioned several times that as educators, we should remember what we were like during the middle school ages. We need to be aware of the changes they are going through and adjust our instruction around that. We need to be conscious of the social-emotional changes as well as the physical while they are learning academically changes. The characteristics are used to measure how schools perform and create good schools. A main part of having a good curriculum/school is to have educators that see the benefits of adolescents and are ready to educate them.…

    Washington Elementary School is located in West Orange, New Jersey in a neighborhood where mostly African American and Hispanic businesses and people were surrounding the area. As I arrived to the school or left, I usually only saw minorities in the surrounding neighborhood. This correlated with the students I saw in the classroom I observed, and throughout the school. In the classroom there was a total of 17 students, all of which were minorities. Ten of the students are Hispanic and seven are African American. I did not see too many White or Asian students throughout the school, or in the neighborhood. However, the racial and ethnic demographics for West Orange showed that the majority of the population is White. Statistics on race and ethnicity show that 62.1% of West Orange identify as being White, 17.1% as being Black, 10% as being Hispanic, 8.1% as being Asian, 2.4% as being two…

    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.…

    School spirit is a common sighting at many public schools in the present day. But in most schools, administration puts a limit on school spirit in order to keep their school intact. They limit the school spirit because school spirit can create rowdy and anxious students that lose focus on their school work. With the proper amount of school spirit that is allowed, there could be a happy middle that benefits both administration and the school body. Even though school staff has the opinion that allowing an unlimited amount of school spirit will over-excite and disrupt the focus of the students, school administrators should begin to expand the allotted amount of school spirit because of the various benefits it would to the school body. The benefits include, but are not limited to, an opportunity to give the school body something to look forward to, give school pride, and supports extra-curricular activities.…

    A lot of schools, elementary through high school levels, struggling government's budget cuts due to the nation’s economic downward. Looking to save academic standards, administrations cut other programs such as physical education or fine arts to save money. However, studies show that these extracurricular activities help students stayed focused on schoolwork and academic prowess. By attempting to save funds to put towards students’ learning, schools have inadvertently begun to take away from the growing environment associated with education.…

    My Philosophy of Teaching

    When I think about what education means and what an education looks like; I do not picture straight rows and columns full of eager students ready to learn. I visualize a more realistic picture; one which has small circles for group work, center stations ready for differentiated instruction to take place, and students waiting for the proper motivation to spark their eager minds. I strongly feel that a classroom should be highly interactive yet manageable, full of discussion and cooperative learning.…
