Engaging Learners

In my service learning the teachers teach by using a lot of hands on and movement to keep the students engaged. The students will show the students what is being taught and also have something to show the students so they can touch what is being taught. The students move around and do activities that involve movement so they stay focused on the task they are doing. The teachers also make sure to get the students out of the classroom if its just for their little field trip to Provo, or if its just going to a educational place, or going outside for a change. By doing this the students will get an interest in what might be happening next. In the class I am its hard to keep the students attention, so most activities have to be engaging if they aren't they will lose their students really fast. The teachers do a great job keeping the students focused.

Creating Productive Learning Environments

The teacher helped the students by offering them choices on what they wanted to do. She gave them two choice. The kids could play in the gym or go swimming. The students picked what they wanted to do and then the teachers and assistants split up to watch the students.
The teacher lets the students know they are loved by showing that she cares about them. She gives the students feedback when they need it. The teacher is involved which shows the students they are loved. The students know they are safe around the teacher because the teacher shows how much she cares for them. And when you care about someone you make sure they are safe.
The teacher in this class knows that each student has very extraordinary disabilities and not one of them are the same. So the teacher needs to know exactly how to help each student in their own way to help the student learn what is being taught or done in class.
