Description

Madison Weller Professor Punch SPD 470 20 September 2021 Field Experience B Part 1: Student Challenges Observe the student/s while they work in class on problems from a math lesson. Identify specific areas where the student/s seem to struggle. Areas of concern where students may struggle in mathematics include (but are not limited to):  Output difficulties 

Organizational difficulties o

Line spacing on lined papers

o

Letter spacing when practicing writing

o

Organizational difficulties in their desks and with bookbags



Language difficulties



Attention difficulties o

Students are distracted while on computers and often play games or watch youtube

o

Students are near the end of the day and are often caught closing their eyes for extended periods of time



Visual spatial or ordering difficulties



Difficulties with multiple tasks

After observing and noting concerns, discuss with the student/s whether the areas you identified are challenging for them. Continue to work with the student/s using guided practice and support. Meet with your mentor teacher to discuss your findings. Offer intervention strategies you could implement with the student/s to help them learn the math concepts being taught. With your mentor teacher, decide on 1-2 strategies to further develop in Clinical Field Experience C and implement in Clinical Field Experience D. I offered   

More kinesthetic learning Additional brain breaks Teacher monitoring of computers on her computer

    

Rewards for line spacing Math problems with less words for students struggling Math problems that have the steps to solving started or with only a few missing numbers Multiplication charts Touch math

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class. Part 2: Reflection I have been observing an inclusion classroom where the teacher teaches math and science for a few weeks now. My teacher, Mrs. Van Orden, has been teaching for 22 years and is excellent. In the beginning she explained to me how students were chosen to be evaluated for special education services. In the beginning students would be a part of the normal classroom with no special education services and once she recognize patterns of errors in their work she would offer additional support to the students and if they were not responding accordingly they were evaluated for their for special education services. Mrs. Van Orden did not complete the additional evaluations rather Miss Cruz conducts evaluations. And this particular classroom there are five students that receives special education services. These particular students struggle with regrouping carrying numbers math with decimals and multi-step story problems. They also are unable to identify their multiplication math facts without a multiplication chart. These students receive additional support in Miss Cruz's room for a period of time while the other students stay in the general education class. Prior to being pulled to Miss Cruz's room, these students spend 20 to 30 minutes in the inclusive classroom. When these students receive additional support they struggle asking questions to the teacher about what they do not understand. B students are very stubborn but love to learn. If you ask they feel they just need additional support sometimes. From my time observing this classroom, I learned a lot about patience, about students being stubborn, and about small group intervention. I plan to use these findings in the future for when I am I supposed to dance from an inclusive classroom or for when

I am expected to co-teach in an inclusive classroom. I have appreciated observing the coaching classroom and I appreciate all of the opportunities I get to lead small groups and conduct interviews. The strategies I have introduced to my mentor teacher will be used in the future to help my students and my mentor teacher believes that they are great strategies to implement. Miss Cruz, the special education teacher, has allowed me to co-teach in place of her multiple times. She is there for guidance and support and I appreciate her and all the knowledge I have gained from this experience....
