Strategies in Volume Control

This group has researched the different methods of classroom volume control within each authorization level within the education system. Two of the group members have dedicated their research to the high school level and the two other group members have individually dedicated themselves to the middle and elementary level. The research uncovered similar techniques in controlling classroom volume across the board with only a few exceptions.

Comparing Classroom Management Strategies

When you walk into a school, it is filled with teachers and students of all ages. Each teacher has their own strategy when it comes to helping their students learn. We are both very different teachers but we can agree on one thing. Our student’s success means everything to us and we will do whatever it takes to get them to succeed. From Kindergarten to Fifth grade procedures and management strategies change. With this project we will show you the difference between a Kindergarten Class and a 3rd grade classroom. This also results in showing the difference between Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary classroom management.

5 year old Case Study-Observing Development

This paper aims to provide insight on the maturation of children during the pre-operational stage of development. This is a case study of a five year old boy who I have seen grow throughout his life from my viewpoint as his baby-sitter and tutor. The factors of development discussed in this paper are; cognitive, physical, identity, social, and moral. This case study takes a closer look at how we develop, and poses a few ponderable reasons why we grow to be how we are.

How to use Both Art & Music in Classroom Management and Transitions

Classroom management is a part of any classroom. You can either invest the time before, or spend it consistently throughout the school year. Better to spend the time at the beginning of the year than waste it throughout the school year. We believe that you can integrate both music and art through the use of transitions. There are many ways to use both art and music and we plan to discuss many ways in which it can be done.

How Class Jobs Benefit Students

Student jobs are a major part of classroom management. Students will be encouraged to stay on task in order to earn their “pay check.” Student jobs allow students in all social-economic classes to learn the real life task of getting a job and having a “pay check.” Our presentation will cover these topics in hope of encouraging future and present teachers to form classroom jobs.

Developmental Case Study of Three Elementary Age Children

The purpose of this project is to study the developmental stages of a 7-year old male subject who resides in a middle to upper class home in the Springfield area. Over the course of two months, interviews, observations, games, and cognitive tests were conducted to gather information in order to compare his developmental process according to cognitive psychologist Jean Piaget’s developmental stages. The developmental stages observed and recorded were Cognitive Development, Physical Development, Self Concept and Self Esteem, Social Development, and Values and Moral Development. Upon examination of all areas and careful analysis of text information, it was noted that case subject is developing normally to slightly above his age level.
