How this looks in my classroom
In my practicum school the bell schedule is
posted as well and the learning objective.
There is not a clear schedule of what the
class will be doing but each student knows
where they need to be by the bell schedule.
Depending on the students IEP it differs. A
student may not be able to turn the
assignment in, they might be able to get
some credit and then they might be able to
turn it in the next day, it all depends on the
student.
This also depends on the student some
students get extensions and others lose
points.
They are located in the back of the
classroom. There is a table in the back,
desks in the middle, and the teachers desk
and smart board on the other side of the
room.
The have to ask if the can go to the
bathroom and such.
The student cannot do these things if the
teacher is teaching, it is allowed when the
teacher is done and the start class.
The teacher decides where the students
seat, they have assigned seats.
I think there is good flow, I am just a little
more organized then other people.
When students enter the classroom they are
expected to start on their math bellwork
until after the announcements are done.

When students finish work checked by
myself, the teacher will start on lesson for
the day.
They need to make sure their area is picked
up and chairs get pushed in. The teacher
will let know when it is time to finish up.
