The teacher’s behavior plan that Mrs
...
CHAMPS, is a module of classes that most new teachers are now encouraged
to take, focusing on classroom organization as the key to managing discipline
...
The premise being that most classroom disruptive
behaviors are directly linked to a lack of organization
...

Communication refers to whether or not the students can talk during a certain
activity
...
Activity defines what they will actually be
doing
...
And lastly,
participation means how will you know they are participating
...

During my observation it was clear that the students in the classroom were well
meshed
...
I felt like the teacher did a great
job with meeting the needs of each individual child
...
She made sure to take the time to walk around and check
each child’s work during workbook time to make sure they were on the right track, if
they weren’t then she would circle where they messed up, ask them to look at it again, if
they still got it wrong she would sit and help them figure it out
...
The children were always extremely happy
and excited to learn
...
“However, when children get excited about
learning and teachers realize that learning is a social process, classrooms become
dynamic exciting places” (222)
...

Material management was definitely a big part of the teacher’s management of the
classroom
...
These bins were labeled
so that the children would know what they were and where to go when asked to get
certain materials
...
The students new this corner was not to be touched
...
When it was time
to get materials the teacher would call the students by table to get their supplies
...
The teacher pre-sharpened all of the pencils
before the school day began, so that it was never an issue during the day
...
When leaving for the day the teacher would call out for “bus riders”, “walkers

and bikers”, “extended day care”, and “car riders” she would make sure they all got to
where they were going
...

They are young and still learning, and it is important for a teacher of younger students to
remember this and be prepared to deal with different forms of misbehavior
...
Reiland
handled misbehavior in different ways
...
It was obvious that his misbehavior was geared towards
attention seeking, and when he was given attention he continued to do the behavior after
the teacher looked away
...
Reiland chose to ignore this student
...
Other misbehaviors that occurred in the
class, such as pushing, name calling, etc
...
Reiland had five square pieces of colored
paper hanging on the board
...
” At the beginning of the day all of the students clothes pins were pinned to the
top box “Great Job”, if a student misbehaved throughout the day the teacher would lower
their clothespin down the boxes as she saw fit, until it hit “parent contact”, then the
student would get a letter home and an email to his or her parent
...
The students whose name got closer to
“parent contact” suddenly had a change in attitude and began to behave; they did not
want the ultimate punishment of their parents finding out
...
Reiland also handled
certain behaviors between students by asking the students what they could have done
differently, or if what they did was nice, and then asking them to fix the problem
themselves
...

Teaching student self-management occurred a lot in the class that I observed
...

• Students picked their own partner for partner reading time
...
This took no voices, and so
it did not interrupt the lesson
...

• The teacher would do the first two or three math problems with the students but
then they were on their own to finish the rest
...

I noted how well the students worked on their own for such a young age group
...

“Structure for EC-6 learners is important for success” (Nash & Cohen, pg
...

This statement could never be more true, and I really noticed this throughout my student
teacher observations with Mrs
...
The schedule for this
classroom was the same every day except for Monday
...
, until 12:30, then it
snack time and story time until 1, then it is reading and writing time until 3 which
consists of individual reading time, partner reading time, story time, and one-on-one time
with the teacher
...
This allows the students to know what is
happening next and to be able to relax and not stress about their day
...
It has been a great experience so far!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Response  to  Karen  Scharfman  
 
It  really  shows  you  that  the  teacher  is  taking  the  time  to  make  her  students  
feel  comfortable  and  welcome  when  she  takes  the  time  to  write  down  the  thoughts  
of  the  student  with  the  broken  finger
...
   It  is  definitely  
great  when  a  teacher  can  give  the  students  a  task  and  have  them  work  on  it  while  he  
or  she  works  with  individual  students
...
 
Unfortunately  I  agree  that  material  management  is  important  in    a  classroom,  
and  it  is  too  bade  that  the  teacher  you  observed  does  not  put  this  as  a  priority
...
   The  
classroom  I  observed  had  separate  bins  for  the  books  that  were  fiction,  non-­‐fiction,  
poems,  etc
...
   The  classroom  arrangement  you  experience  
sounds  similar  to  what  I  observed,  and  it  was  definitely  effective
...
   That  means  they  really  
respected  the  teacher,  and  had  a  great  understanding  of  the  classroom  rules
...
 
It  sounds  like  you  had  a  great  observation  and  I  hope  the  rest  of  them  are  as  
good!

Response  to  Stephanie  Reed  
 
I  think  that  is  a  great  way  to  start  the  day,  with  a  morning  meeting
...
   The  teacher  I  observed  used  the  same  technique  with  the  “you  can  
practice  now,  or  you  can  practice  at  recess,”    students  don’t  like  their  recess  being  
taken  away,  and  tend  to  focus  harder  and  pay  more  attention  when  they  know  they  
are  at  risk  for  loosing  it
...
   This  is  definitely  a  motivational  way  to  keep  students  on  task  and  behavior  in  
check
...
   From  what  I’ve  
learned  it  is  a  great  method,  and  focuses  a  lot  on  classroom  organization,  which  
leads  to  positive  behavior
