Instructor: Elda Preciado Level: English I
School attended: TAES secondary school Number of students: 26
Observer: Dorys A. De Los Reyes Date: September 25, 2008
Purpose: To analyze how the teacher monitors the students.
Description of Classroom Environment:
Briefly describe the classroom including: seating arrangements, classroom decoration, size of room, classroom rules, atmosphere, etc. and any important elements that you consider important.
This classroom is similar to the ones I have described before. Students are seated in 6 regular with 5 to 6 desks each. The classroom is big enough for all the desks. It has a whiteboard in the front and a screen to project images from the projector. In addition, it only has a small bulletin board in the back wall. There are two trash cans: one for paper and the other one for the rest of the trash. The students are not allowed to stay in the classroom when the class finishes; they have to leave when the bell rings to get their materials for the next class. The classroom atmosphere is very good. There is an environment of friendship and respect. Students are happy when they enter the classroom, they do not feel anxious. Moreover, students are really participative.
Report:
Report the information collected from your observation format, being objective of the information collected. Be sure to attach the observation format to this report.
In order to check for students’ understanding the instructor asks other students to repeat the instructions, or she asks questions such as, “Any question? Do you understand what you have to do?” to check for understanding. In addition, the teacher walks through the rows when students are working to clarify their doubts. Moreover, to check homework she requests students to show her the assignment but she does not look at them closely.
Comments
Comment how you felt during the observation and write about any unexpected issue that affected your observation or any other topic you consider important to mention in this report.
I like that the teacher always has an eye on what her students are doing.
While the students were doing an exercise one of them called me: “Miss Dorys can you come here”. I was going to attend his call because the teacher asks me to help her sometimes, but the teacher was near him and she helped him.
