Question 1: Describe how you might contribute to a lesson given to a group of seven year old children learning to play percussion instruments. Answer 1: Firstly, I would look through the planning for the lesson and then ask the Teacher what the learning objective is. I would obtain all the instruments needed for the lesson and make sure that they were free from sharp points and all in working order. Then once the lesson has finished I can return all the instruments back to their correct places. I may have been asked to give one to one support to a specific child with an additional need. This would be to ensure that they are able to join in and feel included within the lesson and I could also check the child’s IEP to see if there are …show more content…
I will periodically ensure that batteries within programmable toys and remote controlled vehicles etc are fully charged and ready to be used. I may also check that resources such as board games are complete and if any pieces are missing, either request a replacement or, where possible, create new pieces. If I locate any resources that are damaged or broken then remove them immediately. If there are any of those resources that are unable to be replaced by making it myself then I must inform the relevant person who replenishes school stocks. I would also make sure that I was fully aware of how devices are to be used so to make the children more at ease and relaxed when the time comes to using them for the first time. I may be asked to mount children’s work onto a display board so that these can be seen by the children and adults, where space is limited though I will ensure that the children’s work is rotated on a regular basis to display the effort of everyone in the class. I may also be asked to create a display on a table showing the children’s work from a selection of books. Feedback: Question 3: What aspects of safety would you
The function of a HLTA will be relevant and specific to the setting that they are employed, but the overall aim is to help children to achieve their full potential through a number of teaching methods suitable to each childs needs.
One year experience as teaching assistant in SRM University (January 2015 – February 2016). My responsibilities included:
When you encourage independent learning it is important that operational skills are explicitly taught to all pupils, but also vital that prior learning and experience are recognised.
When they were doing the activity I was watching them how to do the activity. Sometimes I asked them some questions to make sure that they understood completely. I observed all pupils in my group loved to play with the colourful shapes and they separated them in the right circle. This activity was very simple but through that the pupils can recognise the all type of shapes. When we finished Miss B suggested each group should check other group work and they should find if there is any mistake. While my group were checking other groups work I was with them and supported them with explaining more.
At the end of the lesson I would prepare the learning environment for the following lesson by returning all tables and chairs back to their places and all instruments back to their storage space while once again checking the inventory and the condition of the instruments. I would also clean the instruments so that they are again ready for use, and notify the teacher of any damages or losses.
E1-Describe the development of children in a selected age range and in two areas of development
The planning for Year 3 Literacy follows the National Primary Literacy Framework. Within my setting I have prior discussions with the class teachers on what the planned activity is and how I am going to support the children to achieve the learning objective. All support staff are given plans for the day/week on certain curriculum subjects that they will be supporting. This will contain the aim outline what the lesson, or series of lessons, hopes to achieve. Prior knowledge points to relevant knowledge pupils may already have and also to knowledge which may be necessary in order to support them in accessing this new topic.
The setting has Special Educational Need Co-ordinator (SENCO) involved in supporting the teacher and /or parents. The SENCO organises further assessment of the child’s needs if required.
DESCRIBE THE LESSON: Write a summary of the math, social studies, science, language arts, Spanish lesson you will teach. The lesson MUST be listed in the KSDE Standards for the age group you have selected. [2-3 paragraphs]
In pages 55-60 of Green’s book, On Teaching Band: Notes from Eddie Green, the author discusses the successful introduction of playing instruments to students at the approximate age of 11-13 years. He offers techniques to maintain student engagement when beginning to teach instrument-playing. Green states that he prefers to keep a neat classroom to encourage students to be equally organized. He also determines the physical needs of the classroom, including wire stands and playable instruments for each student, stating that he prefers the students receive their instruments at school.
Lastly it would be important for me to make sure children can use the materials and resources on their own to encourage independence but also ensure the items can be used in a group. This will encourage children to collaborate
In the course ECE 212 Art & Music for the young child we created an individual lesson plan about music. This lesson plan was about providing a variety of materials to create and instrument. This helped the children thing critically as well as using their small motor skills. Afterward the children will be able to play their instruments that they have just
The first factor that may affect number skills development is national and community factors. A Country and community’s political, cultural, social and economic policies all contribute to the environment in which children develop. The success a country has in educating it’s children and producing a numerate population depends greatly on the country’s emphasis on the goal of numeracy for all, the resources it has available, and the mechanisms it has in place for providing effective programs and incentives that encourage number skills.
You should find tricky passages in the piece for each instrument, and come up with strategies, exercises and other activities to teach these passages and skills to ensure student success.
First, students must learn the instruments of the Orchestra and the instrument families. There will be a display on the board of what the layout of an Orchestra looks like. There are four rows and each row has multiple instruments, some rows have different instruments. Students will learn about each row and all of the instruments. Once the students have had a chance to look over the layout of the Orchestra, I will write the four instrument families on the board which are: Strings, Woodwind, Brass, and Percussion . Each instrument of the Orchestra belongs to one of these categories. I will take time to talk to the students about which instrument belongs in which family. This is where it gets all confusing for students because the instruments are different. As the teacher, I will need to make sure that the students understand how to tell the difference between each instrument
