observation
How long is our observation supposed to be? Does it have to be more than 1 hour or 2? I get the observation requirements for my classes confused.
I understand exactly how you feel about getting the observation requirments for each class confused, and just so i am clear as well is there any particular class or age group we should be observing? Is it better to do special ed or regular ed, or does it matter?
You are welcome to make this decision as you believe it would best fit your interest. I would encourage you to observe in a setting you think you would like to teach in the future. Feel free to do this as it relates to regular ed or special ed as well as to age group.
As educators - think through this with me...(this is NOT sarcastic, I'm being sincere) what part of the assignment sheet posted on Blackboard does not clearly explain this. How can I as an instructor make this more clear for students. Is this a LANGUAGE and COMMUNICATION issue?
This assignment is in writing with a rubric (on Blackboard) and also mentioned in class (we discussed last week) what else is most beneficial for students?
What does this say about communication between students and teachers as it relates to assignments? Is this different for elementary students? Middle school? High school? College?
