Observation #4
This was my final day of observation. The day progressed much like the previous days, except Tran had two reading groups instead of one to work with. During the time she worked with the reading group I choose to stay with Collins to assist her with the lessons.
It is painfully obvious which classes have computer time and which ones don't. I know personally how stressed the campus is at this time as state testing is coming up. I always hated this time of the year because our regular lessons seemed to fall to the wayside in favor of more practice for state testing. Benchmarking helps the campus see where strengths and weaknesses are and so they are needed. All this is just so much on the staff, not just the teachers. As I've stated before, everyone must do their part.
This day did find some behavior issues. For the most part, the students behaved because they wanted to work on computers. Those few who did not behave were taken off the computers and placed at a library table as not to disturb those who were working correctly.
