Activity 3.3 Involving all

I watched both video clips about "Involving All'. I would like to make a comment on the teacher teaching mathematics in the Primary classes.

The teacher is really talented. I have liked the way he managed the three classes, grades 3, 4 and 5. This shows he prepares well for those classes. His classroom managed is very good. He realizes the importance of using time effectively and use students to help him say distributing material. The issue of collaborative learning is addressed by allowing learners to work in groups.

It was not easy for me to find the three principles of being observant, flexible and building self esteem using the clips. All in all the concept involving all is clear using the clips.

COOPERATIVE LEARNING

The teaching methods comes from a well trained teacher..She doesn't ignore any students who are in any background or sex or personality. 

* Students centred learning all students are naturally human, notise the disability student also engaged by the teacher *

* In the total classroom is one group, where are talented, average and lower students in same group 

* Observant, flexible, monitoring, students ASSESSMENT all are one roof

Indeed Sinnathursai, these are great models which we could try in our classrooms whenever possible.

You are right Henderson, The teacher is indeed involving all. Think about what could be tried in your own class. There is a lot we could try in our classrooms.

I have watched both videos with the aim of commenting on how to "Be observant, flexible and focus on self-esteem" and like you, I also found it difficult to access all three aspects, but they allowed me to reflect on my practice.

In the examples shown I find that the teacher maintains an attitude that is aware of the relevance of good treatment (considering self-esteem) not only student-teacher, but also among the students who act as peer tutors. Both remain attentive to the needs of their students in order to learn better together, involving everyone. Teachers embrace the best way of approaching their students as a key to understanding their difficulties and achieving their learning.

In the examples, I am not able to know what the teachers' observation skills are like, I think I would need to observe the classroom for longer. 

I need to know more about their context in order to perceive if they are awake to the changes that occur in the mood of each of their students, the moments in which the class does not flow as expected. In contrast, I find that in my experience it is very difficult to be flexible in these situations. In the classroom I need to be focused on the sequence of activities and this limits my ability to observe whether or not my students are in good mood. Time flies and attending adequately to what is happening in the classroom takes time. I don't know how I could lean on the group of students, be more flexible in this, to be more observant.
