Teacher Presentation: Felicia's G2 Reading Class
Classroom Management: She uses positive reinforcement. When she needs to emphasize something she raises her voice. When multiple students want to answer at the same time, she has everyone in the class answer one at a time. This gives the students opportunity and attention.
Materials: Reading with comprehension questions in the first 15-20 seconds of film. She utilizes the textbook and the board a lot.
Student Participation: Pair work and pair discussion. Group discussion based on open-ended questions. She makes every student answer.
Feedback Provided: Positive Reinforcement. She helps during pair work when needed. She always explains new words and repeats correct answers for reinforcement.
Lesson(s) on teaching you learned: Using slower speech and diction helps lower levels. She makes sure to pronounce every word in an articulate manner.
The teachers do not allow the students to not participate. There is not enough 'free time' for them to slack off. They make sure that every student is participating and truly understands the lesson.
Something that I appreciated from Felicia's class is that you can tell she really wants her students to understand the material and makes every effort to ensure they do.
