This
week we learned about how to assess students in your classroom and plan
instruction according to the needs of those students. We broke up into our
groups in our class and designed a poster to help illustrate how a teacher can
meet the students’ needs within their classrooms. I really feel that this activity
helped to bring the lesson to life. I love being able to work with others to
learn. I feel that I gain more when I am able to teach but also learn from my
classmates. I learned this week that, overall, the teachers really do put the children
in their classrooms first. Even if they have their classroom set up a certain
way, they really need to think about accommodating their room to meet the needs
of their students. For our poster we drew a boy that illustrates a student in
need of help. It is hard to see on the picture, but he is standing on a
foundation of “assessments” since this is the first step in knowing the needs
of your students. As you move up the picture, you will see there are many ways
to help the child based off of the results of the assessments. You might want
to change the way the classroom is managed. This can be anything from moving
the desks, time management, to changing the materials that are used. Each of
these actions, will help to ultimately help “turn on the light” for the student
and help them to learn in the best way possible. I hope that I will be able to
remember this in the future as I teach children. Maybe I will not be a
professional teacher, but I know now that it is always best to keep the child’s
needs first.
