I have been observing in the Southside Middle School. The class I have been observing was Mrs. Faircloth, she teaches 4th grade science.
One thing throughout the class I really liked was, the way she made everything interactive and fun. Mrs. Faircloth is very good at making sure her students stay engaged. By this she does fun activities and labs and such that the students have to be constantly moving and thinking. Keeping the brains moving and thinking causes less problems and more productivity.
Another quality throughout the class I really took into thought was, her ways of showing her knowledge of each student. She was very good with taking care of each student, and understanding each student and their issues. She handled each situation well and kept whatever happened from stopping her lesson, causing her other students to quit learning. In my eyes this is a plus and an advantage in the teaching style for the classroom.
My all time favorite method of teaching that I saw used was, walking around the classroom while helping those who needed it. She demonstrated this very well, there was not a time when I was in the classroom, that Mrs.Faircloth was sitting down for more than 5 minutes. She always was checking to make sure her students were not only doing their work, but understanding what they were doing as well. Her students seem to enjoy this and be appreciative of her help, she stands the whole time she is teaching as well.
Another really good method of teaching that was demonstrated was doing interactive lessons. She knew how to keep her students entertained and have fun while working. Her students were 4th graders, so their brains like to wonder, so keeping the brain stimulated at that age is very important.
